Learning From Other Women Bloggers
If your goal is to have a successful blog it is important to learn as much about blogging as you can.
There are many, many places and ways to learn about blogging. HerProBlog.com is obviously one of them! It is especially nice to learn from women bloggers as they are more likely to be writing about the same topics we are and can speak to us in a way that may feel more familiar and comfortable.
And while many of the top pro blogs like Problogger and Copyblogger are written by men - there are also many women who are probloggers that we can learn from.
The following are just a few women who blog about blogging that I recommend:
Lorelle VanFossen of Lorelle on WordPress - Lorelle helped develop WordPress and in her blog shares information about blogging in general and has a lot of tips and advice about using WordPress.
Liz Strauss of Successful Blog- Liz writes about relationship blogging. Forming and maintain personal
relationships with others is what networking is all about and is needed to have a successful blog.
Skellie of Skelliewag - Skellie writes about "creating content your site's visitors will fall in love with
and gives "tips, tricks and ideas" to help you make a blog worth talking about.
Lisa Irby of 2 Create A WebSite - The Blog - Lisa's blog is a 'guide to building, promoting and
monetizing blogs and websites'.
There are also many women who have been very successful with their blogs, who don't blog about blogging. We can learn from them by studying the examples they have set. Here are a couple who have
inspired me recently:
Wendy Piersall of Sparkplugging - Wendy started out with one blog to help moms build internet businesses from home – and now, just 2 years later she has grown it into a blog network of around 15 blogs!
Tina Su of Think Simple Now - Tina started her blog less than a year ago (at the time of this writing)
and now has almost 7000 subscribers! She even explains exactly how she did it here!
Want to find more problogging women to learn from?
David Peralty made a list 15 Amazing Women in Blogging back in December and more recently
Jarkko Laine made a list of the Fifty Most Influential 'Female' Bloggers
And remember – everyone has something they are especially good at or a unique perspective that we can learn from – so look around yourself and find some more women bloggers that you can learn and grow from!

Thanks so much for adding me to your list of women bloggers. It’s great that you profiled women in an industry that is still pretty heavily dominated by men (although we are starting to see more women webmasters and bloggers).
In fact, I just got a YouTube comment from a guy who said he was surprised when he found out I was a woman (because my topic is web development) The nerve…. as if women can only know about certain things.
Anyway, let’s keep up the great work ladies! *Cheers*

Lisa – I found your blog through entrecard originally and couldn’t help but notice you had really good advice you were giving! That’s too bad about the YouTube guy, well one of these days they’ll finally get it. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
