Goodness I am joining this conversation late, but I have a totally different perspective. I sell my handcrafted goods and I also blog a little about my items but mostly about design and the like. So, I am on both sides of the fence. In my case, I get more mommy bloggers asking me to send them my products for free so they can review it and keep it for themselves.

I find this quite interesting, especially on sites with very low views. So, perhaps this is not the case with many of the larger blogs receiving items regardless if they requested them or not, just something to put out there. Many of the mom bloggers put the pressure on themselves.

If a PR person who pitches you pressures you, or does anything other than work with you, let them know you’re not comfortable with it. If they don’t, hit “delete.” If they continue, hit “spam.”

–That’s exactly what I do. I absolutely hate being pressured about what to write and how to write it. Not being able to put in my ideas sort of makes me want to stop writing. But then again, it’s always up to me. That’s why there’s a spam/ignore/delete button.

Great post on a topic that is becoming more and more popular. As a pr professional I work really hard to customize my pitches to bloggers and to build a relationship by reading their site for some time before pitching, commenting on their posts, following and responding to them on Twitter, and, only if it’s appropriate, sending them an e-mail. If they’re physically located in my city, then I try to meet them in person at industry events, etc. Some really get the “relationship” aspect and we are able to have a comfortable and honest dialogue and if I’ve been mistaken that they might be interested in my pitch, they tell me and we move on. But to be honest, many don’t seem too interested in forming any kind of relationship. It’s a two-way street right?

I am concerned with the way this blackout is reflecting upon “mommy” bloggers. Do you hear of tech, entertainment and social media bloggers, as an example, staging blackouts? NO.

So mom bloggers can’t handle the stress and pressure that blogging entails? Trust me far more moms can than not. And if you are so burned out, a week will not help you. Which is another issue I have… why does everyone take this “vacation” at the same time? If everyone at a company took a vacation at the same time it would be a “walk-out” or “strike”.

Instead of rallying moms to stage a blackout… maybe it would be better to encourage them. Tell them maybe they need a break or give the PR rep another moms name. Teach them how to say “no”.

It is not PR’s fault you strayed away from blogging about what was important to you. So why have the PR in the blackout?

Just learn to say “no”. And as some others have said, if you don’t want to do a review or are too overwhelmed, recommend another mom blogger. Pay it forward… Karma is a wonderful thing.

My best to all the moms who are burned out!
