Mom bloggers have transformed the business world in a dramatic way. Society has evolved greatly but women are still overlooked, and their responsibilities are taken for granted because they are seen as “things that need to be done.” Be that as it may, there are brands that have recognized the value women offer when they’re trying to gain insight into the household’s wants and needs. These companies have realized the power of the woman as the head of the household. Instead of just having one job, these women assume various roles, including wife, leader, administrator, manager of family income, and – of course – mother.
Mom bloggers or mommy bloggers have been around since blogging became a thing in the early 2000s. Even so, it wasn’t until the emergence of influencers and social media platforms that they were recognized as a source of valuable information about family and homemaking.
Benefits Of Mom Bloggers/Influencers
Brands that sell products and services for households can benefit greatly from building positive relationships with these influencers. Even so, finding the right influencer for your brand isn’t always easy. Pressfarm offers all clients access to a comprehensive media database where you can connect with more than 1 million journalists, influencers, and bloggers across industries.
As the administrator of the household, moms play a vital role in every aspect of the home, including shopping, preparation and serving of meals, selection and care of clothing, laundering, furnishing, and overall house maintenance. As a result, they already have the ability to influence consumer behavior even without writing anything down. Due to the need for information, women’s blogs about family and homemaking have become popular and cover a variety of topics. Popular categories include academic, stay-at-home, crafty, “crunchy,” single parent, and health awareness. While blogs still exist, some moms have taken to video blogging (vlogging), social media, and creating how-to guides to get their message out there.
Women are constantly looking to redefine what motherhood means; most tend to move away from the stereotypical and outdated view that they are not capable of “achieving” anything other than taking care of the family and relying on others to take care of them. While some blogs and accounts are kept anonymous, the women who have decided to make a career out of blogging have now achieved influencer and celebrity status through their digital efforts, whether through writing or producing creative content.
Let us look at 40 of the top US mom bloggers/influencers in the blogosphere to see how they managed to achieve that goal.
