I have been blogging seriously for about 4 years now. I will be the first to tell you that I feel there is still so much I need to know. I’m eager for tips from trusted sources, I wanna know what is the best thing for my blog, I wanna know how to turn my blog into a my main career. I see other moms attending blog conferences. They look so exciting and full of useful knowledge. Honestly though I have no idea, at this point in my life, how I could possibly ever attend one in person.
I’m a mom of 4 kids, one of which is a newborn and breastfeeding. Then there’s the fact that I work outside of my home part-time and that fact that my hubby can work any time 24/7, 365. He has to request off months in advance for a vacation or anything. He put in for my sister’s wedding in July and it’s looking like he’s not going to get that day off. I mean, he got mandated to come into work Christmas morning this past year!
I don’t have a ready supply of babysitters eager for the chance to watch my 4 kids. Everyone in my family works, even my hubby’s grandmother (our kids great-grandmother). So for me to take off for a blog conference somewhere is almost out of the question. Not to mention the cost of the conference, hotel room, airfare or gas money depending on where it is, money for food, etc. etc. Don’t get me wrong, if I had the chance, I would definitely go, it’s just not been able to work out for me so far.
BUT I found a great conference I can attend ONLINE! And some of the speakers, they’re companies I already work with!
