I love it when Cecily pimps me out

The woman gets some hits! And her readers must like free stuff because they are filling out the survey in droves!

On the way to picking Noah up from self-defense I nearly wrecked the car while I thought about ways to add more categories. My plan was to start with parenting blogs then expand slowly but now I’m thinking I should at least have loose categories for other kinds of blogs. There are two reasons I wasn’t going to do that for the front of the launch:

  1. Because I know enough about parenting blogs to know what rough categories people tend to put themselves in and I don’t know enough about other kinds of blogs to make those decisions;
  2. I don’t read most other kinds of blogs and so wouldn’t have as easy a time of finding those writers to ask them onboard.

But I realized that I’m going to have to do some cold-calling anyway and I may as well create very loose categories and then as people fill out the survey they can clue me in on what they write about. I can’t modify the survey once it goes live (I can’t add categories or delete answers) but the software I’m using for the site is pretty flexible and I can change it as I figure things out as far as categories.

  1. Some logical categories might be craft, garden and food blogs. I know of a lot of parenting blogs that also cover these topics, and it seems like there’d be a lot of products available in those categories.

    I’m sure you already know that…

    great idea Dawn, I hope it takes off!
