Back in 2011, just after I started blogging, I set up a little Facebook group called the Blogging Mums Club. At the time, it was a small, cosy corner of Facebook for mums, juggling their blogs with the endless demands of parenting. We shared tips, swapped stories, and supported each other through the ups and downs of blogging life (and toddler tantrums).
Fast forward to 2025, and here I am, sitting in a much quieter house. Both my children are away at university now (how did that happen?!), and I’m feeling the pangs of what I now understand is empty nest syndrome. Suddenly, the piles of laundry are smaller, the fridge stays full for longer, and no one is screaming “Muuuuuum!” every five minutes. And believe it or not, I do miss those times!
But with the small amount of spare time I now find myself with, I’ve decided it’s time to relaunch not just my own blog, but also the Blogging Mums Club – only this time, I’m going to give it a bit of a glow-up. Whether you’re a mum or not, if you’re a blogger (or wannabe blogger) looking for help to grow your blog, community, support, and a good laugh along the way, you’re officially invited.
I’m really missing active parenting duties, so I’m offering myself as your Blogmother, the mum that you come to for advice and encouragement, when your new baby blog has teething problems or is throwing temper tantrums…
A Bit of Blogging Mums Club History
Back when I first started this group, my own kids were at infant school, with homework and after school activities, and life was chaos. Blogging was my escape – a way to connect with other mums who got it.
The Blogging Mums Club quickly became more than a Facebook group. It was a space where members could ask questions like:
- “What on earth is SEO, and do I really need it?”
- “How do I make money from my blog without selling my soul to sponsored posts about garden furniture?”
- “Why is nobody reading my stuff?”
- “What is Instagram for and what the heck is Bluesky?”
- “How do I blog about work-life balance when I’ve got a toddler sitting on my head?”
For years, it was a beautiful, thriving community. But life changed for me, and I had to take a couple of long breaks to deal with family stuff, and the group naturally quietened down. Some of the founding members went back to work (which is normal), other blogs turned into businesses, social media became bigger and better, and the internet changed in ways we couldn’t have imagined back then.
But the heart of the Blogging Mums Club has always been this: a supportive space for bloggers to grow, learn, and connect. And that’s exactly what I’m bringing back in 2025.
Let me tell you what’s new, what’s the same, and why you’ll want to be part of this exciting relaunch.
The Blogging Mums Club: 2025 Edition
Here’s the big news: The Blogging Mums Club is back, bigger and better than ever. Here’s what’s changed!
1. It’s Not Just for Mums
Yes, I’m keeping the name—because the group is 14 years old, and has over 4,000 members, apparently, even if many of them are not active any more. Also, let’s face it, “Mum” is in my brand, and I’m proud of being a mum, and acting as a blog mum to the members. But you don’t need to be a mum to join this group. Whether you’re a dad, a dog mum, a grandparent or someone who has no plans to parent anything other than a cactus, you’re welcome here.
The only requirement? You love blogging (or want to learn how to love it).
2. A Community for All Bloggers
Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been at it for years, this group is for you. You can give or receive advice, or a bit of both, and either way, you should find some readers for your blog posts. We’ll cover everything from building your blog to growing your audience, mastering digital marketing, and yes, making money (without selling garden furniture).
There’ll be support for every step of your blogging journey, whether you’re just starting up, an established hobby blogger, a full-time content creator, a business owner who blogs for publicity, or something else.
3. New Products, Courses, and Resources
I’ve been working behind the scenes on some exciting new things for bloggers and digital marketers, and I’ll be launching some products in February 2025. Group members will get early access and an exclusive discount on launch day, so keep your eyes peeled for details.
Why You Should Join the Blogging Mums Club
Blogging can be a lonely road sometimes, especially when you are first starting up. Sure, there’s social media, but nothing beats a group of people who understand exactly what it’s like to hit “publish” and hope someone (anyone!) reads your post. All we ask is that you read and comment on some of the other posts that people are sharing, and then you are free to share yours.
In theory, there are over 4,000 members in the group, but I need your help to wake some of them up again! You have to love the Facebook algorithm (or not!), but if we want the lapsed members to see our posts again, the group needs an infusion of new members and a bit more activity. Facebook tells me that just over 500 members are still active and lurking in the group but I plan to track down the others, and to gently persuade those who are still blogging to come and join in actively with the fun. This group can be a great big supportive happy blogging family, and I hope that I can build the group back up again and support you all with your blogging endeavours.
The Blogging Mums Club is your place to:
- Learn practical tips to grow your blog and brand, and discover tools to help you fit blogging in with your family duties
- Ask all the questions you’re too embarrassed to Google.
- Connect with like-minded bloggers who will cheer you on.
- Laugh at the ridiculous things only bloggers understand (like spending 45 minutes choosing the “right” font for an Instagram Story).
A Peek at What’s Coming in February
If you join the group now, you wil be able to see information about my first big product launch, and I am curretnly looking for bloggers to try out some bits of the product and give me a couple of testimonials. You could even buy the full product now if you wanted to, but there will be a Club Exclusive discount on the official launch date. This product is designed to help bloggers and digital marketers take their online presence to the next level and get help with all the fiddly and time consuming bitd of blogging.
