Want to Be a Guest Blogger?

Happy New Year Mommy Bloggers...

I'm looking for moms wanting to blog about pregnancy, babies, fun mommy topics, and juggling life with the kiddos.

I think it would also be great to find an online shop owner to guest blog about running a business while trying to grow a successful online business...

I am always looking for additional guest bloggers so if there is a subject surrounding pregnancy and motherhood, not listed above you would love to blog about just let me know. I am open to suggestions. I would love if we could all use this blog to share stories about the joys and stresses of pregnancy and motherhood. Feel free to comment below if you are interested or just send me an email to:

**Promote Your Online Shop Contest**

There are always contests for shoppers looking for free products which is great, but I began thinking with the launch of I Heart Maternity what kind of contest I can run for online business owners. Well I figured the #1 reward any business owner wants is

FREE EXPOSURE and ADVERTISING!

RULES:

• Now to enter you must have an Etsy/online shop that produces great products for moms to be and babies

• Email me (teddy@iheartmaternity.com) a photo of one of the cutest products from your shop, this product will get posted here on my blog for voting - include the price of the product and a link to where the product can be purchased in your online shop. I want this additional info because I'm going to also post your products on I Heart Matenity.com during the contest.

• Once your photo has been added, visitors to the FB page can vote for your shop and product by leaving comments saying things such as "Amy sent me" or " I love this item"

• Visitors can help you earn more votes by following the I Heart Maternity blog & Twitter-just tell them to comment under your product telling me they have. If they comment, follow the blog and twitter then that will count as 3 votes.

THE REWARD:

• The online shop that drives the most votes and visitors will earn a YEAR of FREE listing on I Heart Maternity.com. You will be able to swap out your photos as much as you choose for an entire year, therefore the online shop will get an entire year of FREE EXPOSURE & ADVERTISING! Each time you swap out a photo or run a contest or giveaway, I will either tweet about the giveaway/new product or upload your new product photos on FB. You are bound to get tons of traffic!!

BENEFITS of ENTERING:

• During the contest the products you list will be already be getting exposure from visitors to the I Heart Maternity FB page

• The photo you enter will also be listed on I Heart Maternity.com- so for those that vote and stop by the website this will let them view the price of your item and lead them to your shop to maybe go ahead and do some shopping while they're there

• And of course, the GREAT REWARD listed above

Now the contest will run from August 25th - September 25th, giving lots of online shops adequate time to enter and drive votes. Now the earlier you enter the sooner you can start driving people to vote and the better your chances are of winning!!

Good luck shop owners!

~I can't wait to help give your shops the exposure it so deserves~
