    The Big Business of Poop

    These days, mommyblogging isn't just about poop. Read below to discover how some parenting bloggers are turning their blogs into viable business models.

    • The Mayflower Model: Design Mom Pitches A Deal To A Brand That Already Appeals To Her Readership: Meet Gabrielle Blair, aka Design Mom, a smart design blogger who executed the first flawless product placement in blogging in her partnership with Mayflower.
    • Dooce And HGTV: Is The Future of Mommy Blogging An Expansion of Platforms?: Heather Armstrong of Dooce has built a six-figure income from her blog, and now she's off to conquer the television world. But will this audience accept her in this new role?
    • Concessions To The Pioneer Woman: Is BlogHer Giving More Ads To The Pioneer Woman At Our Expense?: Ree Drummond, aka The Pioneer Woman, has built an empire writing about kids and cows on her Oklahoma Ranch. But is there an ad company that can sell all of her free inventory?
    • Considerations for The Online Border Personality: My most popular post ever, by far, in which I call Dooce a bully.
    • A Confederacy of Something Or Other: My Much-Anticipated Broad Summit Post-Game Analysis: This is the one where I talk about how drinking wine with crazy straws is probably not a professional thing to do. Some people agreed with me. Others thought I was an instrument of patriarchy. I'm thinking about getting that engraved on something. Or maybe printed on a t-shirt.
