Bloggy Boot Camp recap

Good morning everyone! What a weekend! I had the opportunity to speak at Bloggy Boot Camp Business Edition in Phoenix this weekend.

There is something about being in the room with so many smart, driven, like-minded women (not to leave you boys out!), that just gets you energized.

This event is completely and totally focused on business. From working with brands and PR professionals to building your own brand to understanding the business of social media and blogging to how to navigate copyright and the law of sponsored posts.

It is just packed with information and when I say packed… I really mean it. There was barely a bathroom break! Gracious! But let’s face it, when you’re spending money on a ticket, who needs a break! {grin}

Another thing I really like about the way Tiffany and Francesca, aka the SITS Girls, run this event, they give you assigned seating that rotates between almost every speaker so you get to meet everyone. No staying in the comfort zone of only talking to your friends. At Bloggy Boot Camp you meet everyone! And isn’t that what we all truly want?! To make new friends, new connections, get new opportunities. It’s pure genius!

I personally had the opportunity to meet so many lovely women. Some I’ve chatted with on Instagram or shared a tweet with, others I’d not had the chance to ever meet but now I’m popping over to their blogs to see what they’re all about.

The next Bloggy Boot Camp Business Edition is in Dallas this November. If you’re interested in taking your blog to the next level, you can find more details over on SITS Girls.

As always, I hope you’re inspired to craft, bake, create and celebrate. Oh, and if you want, earn money doing it!

By the way, if you can’t make a Bloggy Boot Camp this year I highly recommend you take Laurie Turk’s Mom Blog to Money Blog. It is so worth the money. 30 days of activities, 16 checklists, 17 how to videos.
