This past
weekend I attended my first ever blogger conference. It was great. Still several days later and my mind is running
with ideas of where I want to go and how to get there. Bloggy Boot Camp really exceeded
my expectations. I expected them to educate me on the business of blogging but
what really surprised me was the honesty shared.
I have been
blogging for well over a year now it can be hard to get solid answers on things
from other bloggers. I probably have a handful of Mom bloggers that I can share
things with and even then it’s not as though you have met them in person so
there is still some reserve.
What I loved
about Bloggy Boot camp was how transparent the leadership was. There were no
secrets and they shared every detail of how they have been successful at
blogging and how we as blogger can do the same.
One of my favorite
topic address was being jealous. I think it was Tiffany Romero who said something like
“I love it when another woman becomes successful because the bar is raised and
all women will benefit.” I loved her
saying this because as a woman I do want to see women succeeding in their dreams
coming true.
The best
part was leaving the conference knowing what I need to do to make my dreams as
a blogger come true. Here is where my
reader can help. Want to see a topic covered? Tell me. The site is loading slowly?
Tell me. Disagree with where the blog is
going? Tell me. You see without my readers I am nothing. You as the reader are
as much a part of this blog as I am. To all my loyal readers it is because of
you that I can be home with my boys doing what I love. Thank you!
Some of my
goals for this year are:
·
Switch
to word press
·
New
blog design
·
More
blog post about my personal life
·
Connect
with my readers
·
Become
organized
·
Review
and giveaways that benefit my readers
·
More
loyal followers
·
Connect
with my local audience
·
To
meet my readers needs

ReplyDeleteI completely agree with your write-up! Everyone was so open to sharing what they knew and it made for an excellent event! (P.S. I think it's funny that the number one thing on most of our lists is to switch to wordpress!lol)
