There is one main community of bloggers that I would like to discuss about in this post and what benefits does blogging bring to them. The main community that are to be discussed is mommy bloggers.
Mommy bloggers are family and homemaking blogs which feature commentary and discussions especially about home, family and parenting (The Washington Times, 2005). Basically mommy bloggers usually blog as a hobby instead of making it a business or a way of income. A survey conducted by blogging. org around 81% of bloggers in the United States of America do not even make $100 US dollars in their 'blogging career' and that only 8% of them only are able to support their families through blogging (Bullas J, 2012). In my opinion, mommy bloggers mostly blog as a hobby as they have a lot of free time as most of them are housewives and have children to take care of as well (Bullas J, 2012). Although there are some mommy bloggers who make a living out of them but I would say that these are the lucky few who made it through. Those are the mommy bloggers who are included in the 2% based on the survey conducted by blogging.org The picture below will show some of the mommy bloggers who are successful with their blogs.
