Mommy blogger runs award-winning blog, while staying on top of family life
MANAGE YOUR TIME One thing Pehpot ensures is that schedules don’t overlap. Family time isn’t sacrificed by blogging time. She always looks at the reason why she started. “It’s always been about my family and I want my children to grow responsible and loving,” she says. With this in mind, she ensures her kids see her as an example of that.
DO YOUR RESEARCH Pehpot admits she isn’t a very techie person, but that didn’t stop her from doing her research in order to use online technology as her platform.
“A lot of information is available online,” says Pehpot. From choosing website domains, down to creating one, she learned what she needed browsing through different articles she found searching the web. The combination of initiative and tenacity, she says, offsets not being digitalsavvy.
KNOW YOUR CONTENT
Creating stories for her blog means knowing the kind of content she wants to share. For her, it’s about tips for moms who want to blog, and tips on parenting and home life. “I always ensure that the information I share is accurate. I also make it a point that the tone and timing of articles are also consistent.”
Knowing which content works better for social media and which works for a website is also crucial, Pehpot adds.
INVEST IN THE RIGHT TOOLS
As a long-time mommy blogger in the Philippines, Pehpot’s website allows her to reach a wide variety of people. But from the start, she wanted to ensure that her blog always works smoothly, without any hitches. Her research led her to GoDaddy, counting on its status as a cloud platform.
“I knew if I was going to do this for a long time that I needed to invest in a reliable provider,” she says. She purchased her online domain from GoDaddy and uses WordPress, a content management tool.
From domains to website creation and promotion, GoDaddy offers those who want to blog like Pehpot online tools to help turn that passion into reality. GoDaddy also has a locally-based customer care support available 24/7 to help along the way. To find out more about these tools, log on to http://ph. GoDaddy. com.
Modern moms have been celebrated for the amazing balancing act they do day in, day out—be it as a parent, breadwinner, life coach, and overall role model. The secret to making it all look so seamless? Making sure family is prioritized over everything else, according to Pehpot Pineda, a passionate mother of five, who also maintains her award winning blog, Pehpot.com.
