Hi nice to see you again! Are you following me on Twitter? Have you subscribed for email updates to receive the 10 free healthy fruit and veggie recipe eBook? For full transparency view my disclaimer! Stop back soon!

Green & Clean Mom is a blog about going green and being some shade of green everyday.  It’s sooooooo much fun to have this site and have a specific niche but I also like to write about other stuff. Yes, I don’t just think, sleep and eat green!  I like to write about parenting, social networking, business, twittering and more.  To do this, I’ve branched out and made some new writing connections to spread my wings.

I had a friend ask why I would want to take time away from my own site and not just write for myself. I suppose this is a good question but it’s a narrow way of thinking.  When you branch out and write for other sites, do guest posts and dabble with new topics you let others meet you and hear your voice. People that might not have come to Green & Clean Mom but are now introduced to me, in a new way and that drives traffic to my site. New traffic and new readership and that is one component of being a professional blogger, social networking. If you stay in your box, so to speak, you won’t meet new people who find out about you and what you write about.  Then you don’t learn more from them and they can’t learn from you.  You also aren’t building your business, online reputation, writing portfolio, links or your online resume and experience. 

In my opinion, to blog well, you have to leave your niche sometimes and sometimes you have to jump out of the box and do some tweeting and say hello to new people. Just because I work behind a computer screen doesn’t mean I can be antisocial. I guess it does if I don’t want to have a profitable business. The best bloggers and social networking gurus, that I know of, are social people, face to face. 

With all of this being said, visit some of my other writing adventures over at Posh Mama, Busy Mommy and 5 Minutes for Going Green.  This last week, I wrote about explaining stumbling and social networking to people who don’t understand what the heck I am saying when I ask for a stumble or dig.  This coming week I have a interview with Arianne from, To Think is To Create about being a mommy to three autistic children.  So keep up with me and I promise some excellent stuff to come for Green & Clean Mom! Shoot, I’m always doing something sexy and sassy! Wink! Wink!
