**I received free admission to this conference in exchange for promoting this event. No other compensation was received**
I’ve never personally gone to a blog conference. I’ve always wanted to but it seemed nearly impossible for me. I have 4 kids one of which is only 2 months old and breast feeding. My hubby’s job requires him to work year round at any time. He got called in Christmas morning this past year! I also work outside my home part-time at a local trauma hospital. My hubby and I work opposite shifts too. Trying to align schedules to plan anything on top of all the sports my boys do is a real challenge sometimes.

When I found out about The Blog Workshop Online Conference I just knew I had to give it a try. There is so much I know that I need to learn to make my blog become what I want it to be.
The Blog Workshop Conference 2013 had educational and relevant topics by qualified speakers. The speakers were all well versed and gave a good explanation that even beginners can understand. One topic I didn’t understand is SEO. Prior to the conference I only had a general idea was SEO was and why it was important. I knew some of my clients would specify keywords they wanted used and anchor text but I never really understood how important those things are. Now I know why they are important and how I can use SEO to make my blog better. They even offered resources to help with this. Oh and FYI they are having an SEO Workshop in June if you’re interested.
This was the list of topics discussed and the schedule. I liked that it was in the evening so even people that work during the day can attend. The cost for the whole conference was $175. If you think about other conferences you attend in person they cost about this much or even more for admission. Then you need to think about a place to stay, food, plane ticket or gas money, etc. This is $175 period. If you want to get technical you could include the cost of ink to print out the workbook. You don’t have to print it out, but I highly recommend it. It was great for me to take notes, right down my questions, and write down resources.
Being the first year for this I think they did a great job. It was a good time and the convenience of obtaining this knowledge in the comfort of my home made this conference well worth it.
