Bloggeries is looking at another money making blog, and this one comes with a few twists that lend it a very personal feel as well. The blog is called Blogging with Cents and the more I read the more it made sense. The blog is about mindless chatter with tips, reviews, and earning money online and is owned and written by a wife and mother of 3. This blogger makes no bones about her feistyness, as she can change her own tires, cook from scratch, and voice opinions or kick hineys if she is inappropriately ticked off. She blogs about life, people, news, reviews, money, tips, and freebies and runs her blog very professionally. Get a feel for this blogger and her Internet experiences by checking out any of her most recent bloggeries: Xfep’s Amazing Woman Blogging List, Increasing RSS Feed Subscribers, Prevention and Being Thankful, Blogging Away Debt and Living Longer, How Blogging is Like Losing Weight.
Navigation on this blog is very easy as this blog carries an extremely professional appeal with a clean well-organized template. Bloggeries are left marginalized in black text on beige background and black bordering. There are three navigation bars, a top navigation bar and two right-sided navigation bar. In the top navigation bar you will find all of the administration of the blog: Home link, About link, Advertise, Contact information, Disclosure Policy, Freebies, and Get Paid. The left sided navigation bar offers subscription options, Recent Entries menu, Most Popular Posts menu, advertising, and an extensive Categories Menu. The Categories Menu is rather comprehensive and offers a wide range of topics to read from: Affiliates, Blogging Tips, Contests, Featured, Gift Ideas, Health, Hope Tips, and so many more topics that can help you achieve your work from home goals. In the right navigation bar you will find advertising, Top Commentators Menu, Archive Menu, Blogroll, and Recent Viewers and Recent Readers widgets from My Blog Log.
I will go with a 4/5 for this blog. The blog is well written with a strong personal voice so the content scores are very good. This blogger appeals to her audience by offering advice and articles with a personal voice that makes her reviews and tips extremely user friendly and credible. This alone should provide her with a solid readership and steady growth. She also offers an appealing design that is both professional and attractive as well as easy to navigate. The blog scores some unique points as well given that it offers a wide range of topic, and the title of the blog is catchy and appealing. I think activity could use some work if the blogger wants to see even more growth. Activity is doing very well coming in every few days, but a daily bloggery may serve this blogger well with more consistent readership. Overall however, the blog would definitely prove useful to anyone looking for success through working online, and it should see continued success.
