Anyway, I wanted to blog about the top mommy bloggers in the Philippines today because...
(a) Marketing and PR people research this topic all the time so I want this post to be on page 1 of Google search hehe. And also to help out my colleagues in the industry. Of course! (UPDATE: It's the top entry on the search list yey!)
(b) I want to tell you, my dear Loyal Readers, that I'm not even on the Top 10 list! What! Please help me out by sharing my blog, FB page and IG with your friends and family!!! Thank you. Love you!
(c) I need to remind myself to prioritize blogging because it is more lucrative than ever and I'm being lazy lazy lazy.
There are hundreds of mom KOLs in the Philippines but most of them are celebrities who charge hundreds of thousands of pesos per mention. Most are only on Instagram, which means they can't explain a brand campaign or do a thorough product or service review. Also, branded posts on IG are not searchable on Google. Many mom KOLs don't have a Facebook page so they can't share a partner brand's FB links and therefore have a harder time making posts go viral. And lastly but most important of all, many mom KOLs don't have blogs!
So for this report, I picked mom bloggers who:
- regularly update their blogs (at least once a month)
- have an Instagram account set to public, and
- have Facebook pages for their blogs with minimum 5K followers.
Aaaaand now, without further ado, the Top 30 Mommy Bloggers in the Philippines!!!
(CURRENTLY UPDATING NEW STATS SO LIST IS NOT FINAL YET - JUNE 2020)
 |
| Facebook.com/TopazHorizonBlog ranks 29. |
For brands, these are the bloggers you want to recruit. Their blogs are not just well written, they're also regularly updated (once a month at least) so you can be assured they have loyal readers. When they blog about your product or campaign, their readers are a captive audience (vs those who blog erratically). They also have a lot of Facebook followers to share your links and Facebook posts with. Facebook is the home for viral content because everything is so easy to share on this platform.

By the way, many of you may be wondering why some popular mom bloggers aren't on the list. That's because I checked many mom blogs and some don't do sponsored posts or they have reached mega celebrity status that they are just way too expensive. But if you think they should be on a top mommy bloggers in the Philippines list anyway—regardless whether they accept brand sponsorships or not, or simply because they have a huge following and therefore is a top blogger—tell me and I'll make another list!
As for me, my goal this 2019 is to increase my Facebook followers to 6K and my IG followers to 8K (UPDATE JUNE 2020: Goal achieved!). Very humble goal. I believe in organic growth but I think I've reached critical mass. It's time to advertise. Hopefully, the next time I make a top mommy bloggers in the Philippines list like this, tumaas na po ang ranking ko haha
Help meeeeeee!!! Love you all!

TO THE MOMS ON THIS LIST: I know you're happy to be on the Top 30 list. Congrats! BUT please don't share what your rank is yet haha I'm updating it this week so baka tumaas o bumaba ka pa (or in my case, baka mawala pa ako huhu).
Anyway, if you know a mommy blogger who needs exposure, kindly tell me about her so I can include her on this list. Remember: She has to regularly update her blog, have an Instagram account set to public, and have a Facebook page for her blog.

Help meeeeeee!!! Love you all!
Wow! What a list! Thanks for writing this. It also gave me some ideas about my blog that I have not been taking care of. My goal this 2019 is just to write more and hopefully, earn from it, too. God bless you!
ReplyDeletehi, you can add sheenalovessunsets.com to your list. she has wayyyyy more followers on fb and ig than those on your list. :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, how could I have missed her? Actually, there are a lot of mom bloggers who aren't on lists I found online. Like Sheena, Joy Mendoza, Kaye Figuracion, me! Kaya nga ginawa ko itong list na ito. If you have more suggestions, please add. There are so many mom bloggers that are undiscovered or forgotten (because of IG) but loved, I think. I'll update this over the weekend. Make it a Top 50 haha
DeleteAh, I know na why Sheena doesn't appear on mom blogs directories. She described herself as a travel writer and travel blogger. I checked her blog and she writes about motherhood naman so I'll add her later. Thanks!
DeleteOh wow Frances! Happy to be part of your list. Agree also on no loyalty on IG. I hope you reach your follower goals. As for me, I am happy with my FB page maybe make it 20K would be ok na. IG hopefully 5K . Hirap to grow on IG. Thanks for this post just a few appreciate bloggers these days. Huuugs! ❤❤❤
ReplyDeleteTo be very honest, the more followers I have, the more hate I get also =( That's why I purposefully scaled down starting around 2016. I remember 2013-2015, when my blogs were so popular, I regularly got bashers. Affected talaga ako. Masaya na ako sa konti. But hirap sa brands naman, only numbers impress them, not quality. Oh well. =D
Deletewow! this is a list i should follow and be an inspiration. although I am a regular and been blogging for a long time, I am still needing a lot of audience with my new fb page. I used to have 2k+ followers but then I have to change my fb name so I created a new one. Hope that I can do much better.
ReplyDeleteGo go go! I truly do believe blogging is making a comeback this year. The time of IG is great, of course, but content will matter again. It's time to blog again!
DeleteI'm a mommy blogger too! Hahaha. I blog at www.offdutymama.com ☺️
ReplyDeleteI'm getting so many submissions of mom blogs. Many, hindi pa popular. But now I'm thinking a directory of quality mom blogs - with or without social media following - is needed. =)
Deletewow �� congrats to all nakka proud pasok po kayo �� Road to 10k tayo Ms Frances ��
ReplyDeleteOmigosh, Love, yan din sabi ng husband ko. Basta maka-10K ka, sunod-sunod na yan. Help meeeee!
DeleteAndaming bloggers na na follow ko din ang pasok ❤️
ReplyDeleteHow about me mommy Frances? He He He :)

hindi kasama celebrities? i like http://www.mamatheexplorer.com/
ReplyDeleteAyoko nga sana isama celebrities kasi meron silang advantage that us ordinary moms don't have. But let me think about it. A mommy blogger directory seems like a good idea to make but I'm daunted by the task!
DeleteThanks for the list. Started reading mommy blogs around 2012, nawalan ng gana for the past few years though your blog(s) and one in your list is still in my quick access. Any mommy vlogger list? And what are your thoughts on them/this medium?
ReplyDeleteI don't follow vlogs kasi so I don't know any =) It's just a preference. I like reading, not watching =D
DeleteThat's a good list to make!
Hi Mommy! Pag sinabing sa Philippines, included din po ba ang mga from outside MM? Thank you po sa reply. :) More power po sa blog nyo. :)
ReplyDeleteOf course! That's why I'm asking for suggestions so I can add to my list =D Help me please!

wala po c mommy diaries ph dito? 50k plus ang fb po nya at good number din followers nya sa ig
ReplyDeleteThanks! Go! Suggest lang kayo. I based my list on the ones I found online sa mga lists also, rechecked their numbers, added bloggers I know na wala rin sa mga lists, etc.
DeleteJust please suggest more kasi gusto ko gumawa ng Top 50. =)
I like this mama i always read her posts about play places she and her son goes, i noticed nga recently she has started to have sponsored brands. Nakakatuwa how she has grown through the years. slowly but surely.
ReplyDeletehttp://wanderwomom.wordpress.com
she is @WanderW0m0m in Instagram and Facebook i think
wish i could encourage her though to have an own domain na.
Ohhh.. i was trying to search for my name, because I've been seeing a certain mom site as a referrer to my blog. I saw this comment. thank you to who ever you are!!
DeleteI finally have my own domain, since 2019! i've been growing my views since. it is www.wanderwomom.com now. my instagram is instagram.com/wanderw0m0m and my facebook yes, it is WanderWoMom ( facebook.com/wanderw0m0m ) thank you for the thoughtful comment here to who ever you are.
facebook 8597
instagram 10668
youtube 1.23k youtube.com/wanderwomom
This is an interesting list, with a lot of very familiar names.
ReplyDeleteI thought that it would be good to learn from all of these mom bloggers, as I've been struggling to regularly blog myself since becoming a mom. I used to maintain a more arts-centric blog, and I updated regularly and frequently.
I can't keep up now though! And I really don't know how successful mom bloggers do it. I post so sporadically now, even on my Instagram account, that my numbers have suffered. It hasn't been easy mixing both motherhood posts with art-related posts either, and it can seem very disjointed, but I really want to find a way to make these two facets of my life work out on my blogging and social media platforms.
Thank you for sharing this list!
This would be a really interesting blog to read! An arts-centric mom blog! That's quite unique!
DeleteHi Mommy Frances! I was researching for mom blogs to follow from my own blog when I stumbled on to this list. I think you have a good list! I also agree with you that sometimes, there are blogs that have more advertising than actual content. I wish it would be more balanced. I believe in the idea that someone who's read your blog should be taking away something or learning something after they've have read that post. I don't know - maybe it's just me.
DeleteI'm also attempting to develop my blog on motherhood, family life, parenting and play (topics I am comfortable talking about). It's www.signatureph.wordpress.com (a play of words on my name, Sigrid and Nature). I have a big family (i have 8 kids) and I homeschool some of them and I also recently worked full time as a preschool head. So I write about my thoughts and realizations on everything revolving around motherhood and family life. I hope you can also check it out one time.
Grabe such a comprehensive and updated list! I like na this is incorporating the FB page and IG accounts which is what marketing and PR Peeps are looking for. Mommy Vlogger here btw, hope to be included in the list next time, 14k subscribers on YouTube
ReplyDeleteYou've got a handful of influencers in the list with shady followings. Some of them buy followers and engagement. You can use this tool to check https://influencermarketinghub.com/instagram-fake-follower-bot-checker-free/ I would love to namedrop a few but it would only look like I'm hating on a specific influencer :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Sana makasama sa list pero ang baba pa ng Facebook page ko. Mommy Blogger din po ako, here's my page http://shescapade.com
ReplyDeleteIG: www.instagram.com/shescapade
FB: www.facebook.com/shescapade
There should be a Daddy blogger list as well. :-)
ReplyDeleteAwww so glad to have found you on tops of the google search, been planning to blog for a decade and finally I was able to start during lockdown. Can't wait to name my site soon :)
