If you’ve been around me for more than 5 minutes, you’ll know that I am a HUGE proponent of blog conferences. I genuinely believe that it is the BEST thing you can do to improve your blogging game.

Blog conferences are the best and least expensive source of training, networking, relationship-building and just plain FUN in the blogging world. I make a point of attending at LEAST one per year, two if I can manage it. And it’s interesting – I am still in touch with literally dozens of people I’ve met at conferences, some of them nearly a decade ago. It’s sort of a special bonding thing, I guess.

If you are thinking of attending a conference (and I really hope that you do), you’ll want to check out my post on what to pack for a blog conference (packed with amazing tips!) and also my post about business cards and headshots for bloggers – both of them are definitely on the list of things to do prior. Here’s another very helpful post on what to do BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER attending a blog conference.  

Anyhoo, here is the list of blog conferences you might want to attend. This is in no way a complete or up-to-date list – Mama ain’t got that kind of time, but it’s a good resource to get you started.

Blogging resources I highly recommend for YOU:

Legal Templates

You are required by law to have a certain package of legalese on your blog.  You need to have copyright notices, privacy policies, and various other terms and conditions to protect yourself from being sued.  The package I recommend is created by Amira Law - a lawyer who specializes in all aspects of blogging and internet business legalities.  Learn more about these Legal Templates HERE.

Pinterest Strategy Planner

My Pinterest Strategy Planner is a terrific tool to help you build a complete Pinterest strategy to grow your traffic.  Shows you how to plan out your keywords, set up your boards correctly, choose which pinners to Follow, come up with your brand standards and so much more!  It's little a little self-paced course, but it's a lot cheaper than most courses and you can work at your own pace and track your progress in the included spreadsheets.  Order your Pinterest Strategy Planner HERE.

Pinterest Strategy Session 

I've got 9 years of experience as a Pinterest Manager.  I do a personalized Pinterest Strategy Session where I go over your Pinterest and Tailwind accounts with a 30-point checklist.  Then set up a Zoom call with you to give you TONS of suggestions to help you create a strategy that will get you the Pinterest traffic you deserve.  Order your Pinterest Strategy Session HERE.

Hire Me

I'm sort of a Jill of all Trades. I can build you a simple website, teach you WordPress or SEO basics, coach you on how to make money with your blog - all sorts of stuff. I'm experienced, reliable, and pretty affordable. I've got 15 years experience as a Blogger and Virtual Assistant. I can also set up Email lists, automations and build pop-ups for your site. Let's talk and see how I can help you. To learn more - go HERE.

    1. Sure! I’m happy to hear about more conferences. Sorry I missed the one in San Diego, one of my kids isn’t far from there, so that would’ve been a worthwhile trip.

    2. Actually you guys were already on there. I just had you as Flocked instead of Flock Presents. So I updated the name. I’d love it if you guys could promote my conference posts to your attendees. I have an older one on what to pack for a conference – https://helpfornewbloggers.com/expert-tips-on-what-to-pack-for-a-blog-conference/ And I’m working on one right now about what to do BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER a blog conference. Very helpful stuff, especially for conference newbies!
