They are the Moms that stay at home to take care of families and the house. They laugh when they refer to each other as the blogging Moms instead of soccer Moms. Today they grow children and streams of revenue. Their success was a side effect of their fun.

They stumbled on each other by volunteering at the school attended by their children. It was through those friendships that they learned they could make money blogging about their favorite interests. Moms talking over coffee while monitoring the recess break or after a parent meeting at school led to a lot of sharing among these women.

A member of this group posted examples of her artistic jewelry work on a social site. She had been creating jewelry for years as a home hobby. Making gifts for friends and family was about the limit of her endeavors.

Her work was noticed by someone online that convinced her to try her hand at a website of her own. She was taught some of the basic methods to make money with ads on her site. Then she started writing articles that were helpful, fun, and educational. Tips on artificial diamonds, rhodium plated jewelry, and how to work with garnets can be found on her site.

She showed her friends how ads on her site generate income. She helped her friend create a site about musical instruments. They took pictures of her lute collection, the dreadnought acoustic guitar that her husband can never put down, and the instruments played by her kids.

When the lute translated to loot from the ads on her site it spurred their friends to start up web homes for their hobbies and interests. Looking for day or weekend trips to area attractions is featured on one site. At another you can solve problems with traditional small home appliances and find new item ratings too.

Cooperating with each other and adding new family and friends to their circle of success has produced many benefits. Forums, discussion groups, photo albums, and articles are all arenas for site development. Their combined efforts raises the success level for all.

They still farm, gamble, and cook together in their virtual social site but now they do more. They share links to articles, post pictures, and help create buzz that results in more traffic to the sites. They started adding fan pages about some segment of their site that attracts people with a built-in interest.

The experience has been priceless. They love the satisfaction of making added income while they write about their favorite passion. They do talk about how the whole family gets involved and how they have reconnected with friends or made new ones.

They admit that they never saw a time that they would have such an extensive web vocabulary and they laugh a lot about their virtual journey. They know they are not going to appear on a national financial magazine but they smile at the thought of posting pictures from the upcoming vacation they have earned with their extra income.
