FAQ’s
Q. How long has Metropolitan Mama been around?
A. Metropolitan Mama launched in January 2007 (when my daughter was four months old) and I’ve never looked back! I love the “sense of community” that blogging provides and I’m always amazed at how many intelligent, influential, and innovative people I “meet” in and around the blogosphere.
Q. Can we swap links or will you add me to your blogroll?
A. Thanks for offering, but I’d like to kindly decline. My blogroll is very personal to me and I want it to reflect my unique personality, interests, and passions. I view my blogroll kind of like the pages of my scrapbook albums - you’ll find smiling pictures of people that I love. Similarly, my blogroll page features blogs that I personally read. That said, feel free to drop me a line if you have other possible partnership ideas.
Q. I work for a PR agency or I own a business and I’d like you to do a product review. Are you interested?
A. First of all, kudos to you for jumping on board the Blog Marketing Train! I’m so glad that you are focusing time and effort into online marketing, especially in the blogosphere. I’m a firm believer in blog marketing because it operates so much like word-of-mouth marketing.
I often buy products and services based on blog reviews - and I know that my readers do the same! I often get e-mails and comments from my readers with phrases like - “I’m going to buy X now…” or “I’m going to check it out next time I’m at Y store” or “I just bought Z based on your recommendation.” Blog marketing is powerful. It is effective. It is efficient.
Please know that I select products for review very carefully based on my target audience and my own interests. That said, please do send me your idea and we can explore options together! You can reach me at stephanie@metropolitanmama.net.
