Our Mom Central VIP: Melissa Garcia Your Blog URL: consumerqueen.com Twitter: @consumerqueen What year did you start blogging? I started my site in 1995 as a message board but turned it into a blog in 2008. In addition to blogging and being a mother, what other jobs do you have? I am currently the Internet Marketing Manager for AdvancePierre Food. Consumers may know us as Fast Fixin'. I also currently do a lot of consulting for brands. Why did you start your blog? I have a passion for helping people. Especially when it comes to saving money. I started my blog as a ministry. Both my site and my classes are free. I never thought that my once small site could be making such a big difference in peoples lives. What advice do you have for those starting out?
