I am starting this meme after I found it on The Healthy Moms site. I believe that followers or subscribers and comments are equally important so I will feature both. I really appreciate their recognition of my writing and appreciation for it.

All About Your Child is one of the sites that I often visit. I have her on my google reader. I’m featuring her site as part of the monthly  Say-it Forward that I am starting this May.

Angeline is of my regulars to this site. A fellow Singaporean mom,she talks about her struggles and joys of being a SAHM to two active boys. Do pop by her site and pay her a visit.

I appreciate all the positive comments I receive here from Angeline. Thank you Angeline for being a loyal commenter here on Dominique’s Desk.

A  warm welcome also to all the new followers who just added me to their feedburner subscriptions, google reader and twitter stream.

This weekend I’m letting you in on one of my favourite haunts- WAHM-Articles Forum. Regular readers of this blog may have noticed that I have been taking part in many activites organised by that site.

• Partnership with Denise in the creation of her  Saving Christmas Book which I did a giveaway last year.
• I won free advertising and services in the WAHM challenges which I took part last year
• Denise also guest posted on my site about Copywriting and Proof Reading Tips when I posted her a question about e-book writing. 

In short let me tell you more about this forum which is a branch of from the popular WAHM-Articles.com.
The WAHM-Articles Forum helps work-at-home-moms learn how to market their businesses in less time and more effectively by using article marketing.

Article marketing is a marketing strategy where you write articles to promote your products and services and let others publish them for free in exchange for a link back to your site.

Many of the members at the WAHM-Articles Forum are experienced article marketers and publishers, so it’s a great place to hook up with website owners who are looking for articles like yours and ask all your article marketing questions.

In the forum, they talk about everything to do with article marketing, including:

-   How to write articles that get more traffic to your website or blog
-   How to use your articles to get more subscribers to your mailing list
-   How to get your article readers to visit your website
-   How to convince those website visitors to buy from you.

Joining the forum is free. There is also a Platinum membership that gives you access to article reviews, article marketing training, and valuable resources and discounts. Platinum memberships are available for an introductory price of $50 a year.

If you want to learn how to get more traffic and sales in less time, I recommend you go to http://www.WAHM-Articles.com/forum and register for a free account.

I’m a member and I’ve already learned a lot from the community there. If you join us, you can discover how to spend less time on marketing your website so you have more time spend with the kids, or on taking your business to the next level.

I’d love to see you there! You can register at http://www.WAHM-Articles.com/forum

I’ve recently been searching for different ways to monetize this site so that I would be able to pay for the hosting charges for this domain. I stumbled upon this blog network

Pay Per Post, another IZEA network,has opened another channel for me to built up my kitty fund while staying at home to take care of the kids. This is one of the biggest and most established blog network that I know of. I got to know about this network from another mommy blogger’s blog which I visit frequently.

She placed a Pay Per Post badge prominently on her site.  It attracted my attention to click on it to find out more.  I was pleasantly surprised that she would be able to earn through referral to the network.  Besides being able to earn through referral there are many different opportunities that one can take at the marketplace to blog about.

I feel that it is great that I am establishing more channels ( even though not a big one) of drawing in income through this site.

I’m trying out this tried and tested network and hoping to build up enough funds for a 2nd birthday bash for Roy this december.

Keeping your child entertained can be a very draining and exhaustive process. Their energy level is super high and it is really a race keeping up with them. Sometimes I really run out of ideas on how to keep them occupied when I am busy with the housework or cooking dinner.

I recently came across this e-book by a mom of 5. She has 101 ways of keeping your child busy based on her own personal experience.

You can grab her book here
