Influential Network of Moms and Dads That Blog
Contents
Mom Bloggers Network is changing the way online influencers (you!) interact with brands (for real).
As an influential mom or dad blogger, you know that brands want to work with you. And you ALSO know that there are all kinds of ways to monetize your awesome, unique, compelling, and really pretty content. We want to help you do just that.
We want to ensure that our members are able to easily monetize content wherever they’re you’re creating it.
So yes. We offer you the opportunity to write sponsored blog posts and participate in amazingly fun, creative, and well-paid branded-content campaigns…But we offer a lot more than that.
In the coming months, Special Moms is expanding to offer an entire suite of products available only to Special Moms members. You’ll be able to log in to the Special Moms dashboard and select from a variety of options designed to help you grow your influence, and get paid to do it.
Imagine a world where Special Moms offers exclusive access to:
- Display ads
- Inline text & photo monetization
- Personal mobile apps (optimized for ad revenue)
- Content syndication
- Video channels with ad streams
…and a host of other offerings. All designed with you, Special Moms, in mind. Pretty exciting, isn’t it?

Blog Standards and Guidelines
We Are Currently Seeking Bloggers Who:
- Are U.S.-based*
- Have a clear point of view
- Post only original content (we do not accept sites with re-posted content or cut-and-pasted press releases)
- Devote 50% or more to original (non-sponsored and non-brand-related) content
- Post regularly: approximately once/a week
- Receive (roughly) a minimum of 10,000 Monthly Impressions (which can be pulled from Google Analytics’ “Sessions”)
- Show evidence of readership engagement (comments, active Twitter and Facebook accounts, etc.)
- Have been blogging longer than ~6 months
- Have both a Twitter and Facebook account through which they can amplify blog posts
- Have good, clean design. This means blogs:

- Load quickly
- Have a standard-sized header (approx 1-2.5″)
- Are uncluttered

- In addition, blogs must:
- Not display egregious typos or grammatical errors
- Have 50% or more of the page design devoted to content, versus ads or badges
- Use some language (not photos-only) and some visuals (not words-only)
- Have comments enabled on most content-driven posts
We Do Not Accept:
- Businesses/Company blogs
- Contest-only blogs
- Blogs hosted at WordPress.com (please see why here)
We May Not Accept:
- Blogs running ads that preclude the use of sponsored content on your main blog
- Blogs that focus primarily on reviews, discounts, coupons, or contests

*We love International bloggers and our Canadian neighbors to the north, of course. (Serious, true love.) Unfortunately, we have ALSO learned that our clients are predominantly U.S.-based AND have entirely separate teams who work with non-U.S. influencers. We try to include global campaigns whenever we can, but given how limited these opportunities are we’ve decided to stop accepting non-U.S. members — it’s simply not fair to you. We hope this will change in the future!
