Blogworld East 2011 Wrap-Up

For the blogger side of the conference circuit, Blogworld is and remains my favorite such conference. It is huge (and growing) and I just love watching it develop.

This year was different. Rather than a single conference in Vegas, this year it was broken up into an East and West edition. Blogworld East in New York City, and Blogworld West will be held in Los Angeles in early November.

This year was also different because I found myself in the position of track organizer. So, rather than doing the usual speaker thing, I instead was in charge of organizing all the speakers on the monetization track.

At the time, I argued that replying to every comment could actually hurt your blogging.

How to Outsource Your Online Content Creation, But STILL Keep Control of It!

Blogging, writing and creating content can be a great way to get your point across, help people, promote yourself, build a business and lots of other things.

I was, and still am a big reader – averaging at least one book (normally business focused) a week. (I’ve recently gone back to purchasing ‘real’ books, and not downloading them on Kindle. I just miss the feeling of holding and smelling a ‘real’ book – does anyone resonate with me on that?).
