Do You Tip The Mom Bloggers That You Read?
Seth Godin posted this amazing little post, “Ads are the new online tip jar“. In it he talks about how clicking on an ad is like tipping the person who wrote the content that you’re reading. I’ve tried to be very conscious of tipping the websites that I’ve visited over the years but the question is, have you?
You know many times we get so caught up in our own struggle to succeed in our own ventures that we forget about the people who are in the same boat as us. Think of all of the moms (and dads) out there, who are really hoping to be able to make an income by blogging or providing some seriously useful content because they want to stay at home with their kids. Then there are millions of visitors who hit these sites everyday taking every ounce they can get in the way of information, resources, tips, etc.. and they never even bother to click on a single ad or leave even the tiniest little comment.
The point is, let’s all try to do some conscious surfing today. Support the smaller blogs and sites that you visit. Leave a comment. Click on an ad. It’s a super easy way to say, “thank you for spending hours thinking, researching, writing, and editing that. It really enhanced my life today.” Pay it forward mamas. To give is to recieve. 
P.S. I don’t currently have a single paid ad running on this site. His post just really struck me. Your comments, however, are always sincerely welcomed and appreciated. Blog on!
