We will be ringing in the New Year at NewBaby.com with some new groups and more social networking

We have the best group of smart, funny, sassy, hard-working Moms around... In the past few months we have been working on building our Mom Vlogger Group - from the first Vlogging Maven at NewBaby.com the Suburban Diva to the latest group making 63 the current count of Moms who vlog (or are starting) at NewBaby.com.

With more Moms coming to our community to share their thoughts, reviews, home and work business, fitness tips, safety tips, how-to's and so much more, we wanted to make NewBaby.com more "homey" and easier to share what you are doing with more social networking tools.

Yes, that's right, we are adding more goodies to NewBaby.com.

Watch for more from us as we grow... from new partners who host our videos (your vlogs!) to more Moms, more groups, more topics, more social networking to benefit YOU.

Happy New Year... from all of us at NewBaby.com

December 30 2008 Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Wii Fit Mommies and NewBaby.com are kicking off the new year using the latest in social networking techniques to help Moms, kids, and families get fit in 2009. Leading the way is Julie Maloney, one of the founders of Wii Fit Mommies, who lost 60 pounds using the Nintendo Wii Fit program.

From blogging about using the Wii Fit program to lose weight, hosting Twitter Parties, to creating a forum for other Moms to join in, the Wii Fit Mommies started a revolution in the fall of 2008. For 2009, Wii Fit Mommies and NewBaby.com have combined forces and have added video blogging, Vlogging, to the mix. NewBaby.com will also showcase Wii Fit Mommies with a special section and a Wii Fit Expert Mom to support this program to promote fitness in families.

On January 3rd 2009, Wii Fit Mommies will host the first event for the year with a Twitter Party online. NewBaby.com will be donating a Flip Video camera for a Mom to record her progress with this program while Nintendo has donated a Wii and Wii Fit console for the kick-off of this program a few weeks ago. This is just one of the events with prizes for participants planned for the New Year.

NewBaby.com is well known as the destination site for Mom Bloggers to create and share their videos. Made up of highly influential Moms Bloggers and parenting experts, the NewBaby Vlogger Network has pioneered the way in which Moms share and connect with each other including outfitting the Wii Fit Mommies with Flip Video cameras to enhance their fitness forum and inspire other Moms and their families get fit.

“With over 8 million children facing obesity in the US, it’s exciting for us to participate and help build on a program like Wii Fit Mommies and Wii Fit Kids,” said Bob Sullivan, co-founder of NewBaby.com. “Our NewBaby.com network will be promoting this and other programs that help families as we strive to be the #1 video resource for Moms from pregnancy to parenting.

NewBaby.com has over 60 Mom Vloggers armed with Flip Cameras chronicling their journey through motherhood and sharing insights on parenting. Featured “Mom Experts” cover topics such as pregnancy, adoption, product reviews, going green, saving money and more.

“We are proud of our growing Mom Vlogger network which continues to add valuable video content that is viewed by thousands of visitors a day online as a parenting resource to learn and share with other Moms,” said Maria Bailey, co-founder of NewBaby.com and author of the new book "Mom 3.0: Marketing with Today's Mothers by Leveraging New Media & Technologies."

Reviewing Products for NewBaby.com

NewBaby.com has rolled out a new product review program. You can participate by joining us as a Mom Vlogger and submit your product review as outlined below and on our site.

We would like to ask that for product reviews you include the following elements in your vlog:

1. Make sure you have good lighting - dark videos are hard to view
2. Jot down some notes about the product before you start to vlog about it
3. Take time to set up the space that you are going to video in so the product is the focus, not the elements around it
4. When you start your vlog begin with "today we are going to review ...the product name by manufacturer
5. Talk about what the product does / promises?
6. Explain how well the product solves the problem / or how it works
7. Point out unique features of the product in your review
8. Demonstrate how it works - with your child or for you
9. Answer: Does the product offer good value? (Would I buy this product?)
10. End with "Thanks for watching this product review, I;m Sally Sue from www.momisgreatblogging.com. I look forward to seeing you again - or something along those lines.

We would love to have you review the products you select during the month of December and create your vlog submission about the product(s) for the first week of January 2009. Thanks for supporting NewBaby.com and this program! We truly value your opinions and am glad you are part of our growing community.
