So in January, I realized that all of the blogs that I read were posting about AltSummit, with accompanying pictures of adorable ladies, cute hair buns, awesome photobooths and glittery decorations. Where were they and why wasn't I there too?
It turns out that AltSummit is a conference held in Utah, which is for bloggers and social media peeps. And I wanted to attend every class on the itinerary. Growing readership? Creative content? Every session sounded wonderful, and I was envious of everyone there and their fabulous wardrobes (totally a reason I can't go to AltSummit anyway: I'll never look half as lovely as any of the attendees there and will stick out like a sore thumb, in the worst way).
Great news, though: AltSummit started offering online classes, one-hour webinars taught by popular bloggers who are more than willing to share lots of blogging wisdom for a very low fee. Yesterday was my first class, and I really enjoyed learning about "Bringing Home the Bacon When Your Blog Isn't Huge" with Melanie Blodgett of You Are My Fave. She was honest and extremely sweet, and so willing to help that she provided her email address several times for leftover questions. I definitely think I will take another one of these classes in the future.
My blog isn't large, nor does it have a huge following, but I really love it. I post about things that I think are important or fun or exciting (sometimes all three!) and my favorite part is that it's all mine. I closed out of Melanie's class yesterday and was extremely inspired to writewritewrite. Mission accomplished.
