I wanted to stop on by over here and let you know what is going on.

Full conference season is upon us. Disney Social Media Moms magical invites have gone out! Some of you are going, some of you are not, and that is okay! We are still truly amazing with or without the pixie dust.

Some of you are at Blissdom or thinking about attending Mom 2.0. Some have tickets to Type A Parent. I know Kelby puts on a great conference! Some of you are looking forward to Blogher 2013 in Chicago! I even know of a special group of Social Media Moms that are going to Jersey Shore to share good!

So, what does that have to do with us?

Everything! Everybody will be connecting with one another! Everybody will want to find one another when they come home! Everybody will want to find like minded bloggers to hang out with at home!

With that being said, no one person can take on this site alone. There is so much potential to this site and so much that could be done with that I am not afraid to say that I would love some help.

I am honored to have her guest blog today and respond to a question that I recently received on Facebook, “Why should a blogger join Geo Moms Connection’s directory?”

Here is her response:

PR agencies are looking to connect with bloggers to gain exposure for their clients!

Bloggers can review products, host giveaways, and essentially help to secure some buzz surrounding clients’ products and services. Bloggers are extremely influential because they have very loyal followers, and can act as a brand ambassador for promoting products and services.

While bloggers and brands are often trying to connect, it can be difficult to make the contact with the correct person – Geo Moms Connection can help to alleviate that issue. The database of bloggers by industry and location, as well as contact information will help PR agencies to easily connect with bloggers to help market their clients.

The database also helps give bloggers access to their favorite brands, and to help develop interesting and unique content for their readers.

Bottom line, we are excited to use the site and see it being beneficial for all parties involved!

If you would like to join our directory, please click here.

So far, we have had ten bloggers step up and volunteer!

These are the moms that are “in the know” of what is going on in their local blogging community and are willing to grow their network in their home state.

Please help me in welcoming these moms who have volunteered and if you do not see your state represented yet, please fill out this form here!

The State Social Media Coordinator would initially be responsible for the following:

• Recruit new bloggers to join the blogger directory
• Be a potential liaison between bloggers and PR Companies when planning local events
• Schedule and plan local meetups at their discretion
• Submit local events to our Social Media Calendar
• Submit local blogger communities to our Blogger Communities Directory

If you have any questions about our State Social Media Coordinators, please contact us.  We would be grateful that if you are a PR Representative or Brand and you do choose to contact one of our volunteers or bloggers for an opportunity, please contact us and let us know how we have been of benefit to you.

I created this site so that local bloggers in specific areas can be found by public relations firms and brands who are hosting local campaigns.

If you would like to be listed as an Influential Mom in your specific area, please join here.  Also, if you belong to a local mom bloggers community, please let us know so that we can help support you and share in your upcoming events.

If you have any suggestions on how we can improve and grow to make this site of benefit to the influential mom (and dads too) community, please don’t be afraid to share your ideas with me.

I have been asked, “What if I am not a mom or a dad but I blog and hey, I’m influential too, can I join?” Of course! All Influential Bloggers are invited to join us!

This site is a work in progress, so please bear with me.
