Update: The winner is Rebecca! {whoohoo!}
“I want to be a Tip Junkie, too! How did you do it?” Right now I get that question {or something similar} in my e-mail DAILY. You are all so talented and creative that I have no doubt you can succeed at this! My advice, if you really want to know how to work from home and become a professional blogger, you should go to the SITSgirls Bloggy Boot Camp!
I’ve known Tiffany since SITSgirls.com was only a few months old and I swear she is one of the smartest-kindest-passionate-giving woman you’ll encounter in this business. Tiffany is the real deal and dedicated to helping other women and mothers arm themselves with the tools to use your blog as a platform to gain personal and professional success.
What is Bloggy Boot Camp?
Bloggy Boot Camp is a one day blog and social media conference for women hosted in major cities all around the U.S. It is hands down one of the most convenient, inexpensive and co-operative events around. Everyone, from brand new bloggers to experienced social media mavens, can benefit from this experience.
I’ve spoken at several Bloggy Boot Camps and Tiffany makes sure that each session has practical take-aways that you can incorporate immediately and easily. It’s the perfect place to start whether you’re just considering starting a blog or if you’ve been blogging for under a year. I promise, attending a blog conference will help jump-start your blog and help you realize your goals a lot quicker than you could on your own.

Thanks for you post, I’ve subscribed for you blog and hope to see more soon. If you’re interested in any business ideas then click on my name – link to my site. Thanks.
I have become so inspired by many women who are bloggers, and I’d love to learn more on how to get started and create my own personal blog. Honestly reading blogs has become one of my newest addictions.!! =)
I’m a new blogger; therefore, I’m not even sure what I don’t know. I don’t know any bloggers personally, so I feel I’m just trying to muddle through. I need to know everything from A to Z!
I want to know how to make cute graphics or simple banners, etc. to spruce up my blog without having to buy photoshop or take a long time learning the ropes….maybe a crash course in making simple graphics, doing photo editing, etc!
Ahh, the opportunity to win this is AWESOME..>I love the SITS forums!
Introductory humour:
with an email address like mine, I often say to people:
“After all, you REALLY couldn’t have just ONE Bruce Martin on Google, could you! – The whole world’s there!”
With that you will remember my email address! (“In association”, remindful of the words of Dale Carnegie who said “We remember by association.”
That said, ladies, Let me give you a bit of a bio for this old guy who spent 2 years attending Mary Kay meetings because his wife, at the time, could not drive for medical reasons to get to meetings. I also attended 2 seminars, and loved it all. N.S.D. Darlene Ryan-Rioux, in the Eastern Ontario to Quebec region was an exceptional leader and we all learned, not just those ladies seeking to make money out of doing the MK business.
I also acquired a very special platonic friendship out of all that which lasts far beyond the day when neither she nor my wife are medically in a position to be doing the MK business.
Yes we all see the importance of supportive spouses, and I was very happy (if blinded by the lights) to stand on stage with a bunch of the other MK spouses in the 1993 seminar in Toronto.
Now, at retirement age, I have a different cause for looking into blogging. That is why I am here, to see what seem to be some of the ground rules, especially for a blog type that has the potential to become a multilingual hot potato.
In me tercero lingua: ¡Ay Mucho Camina!
“J’ai fait du chemin!”
In English, I could say “I’ve been a long road,” However English being so pragmatic, unlike the romance languages has a harder time capturing the true impact, although it is much better caqptured when the voice is heard.
I have also done 4 years as a Toastmasters member, but again, I had a conscientious concern about the hot potato issue. More about that later.
Because I have a diverse technical background of about 50 years, I also have some ideas to control the ultimate cost of hosting for the size and nature of what I plan to do, without being too beholding to any one collaborator.
Now you have a starting bio, I will continue to look around and see what’s really what!
Cheers,
