BlogWorld Expo Monetization Tract

Welcome back!

Once again, this year, I’ll be speaking in the Monetization Tract for BlogWorld Expo.  BlogWorld has several tracts, including a military bloggers tract, a mommy bloggers tract, and a political bloggers tract.  They provide you with a ton of information about blogging effectively and more importantly, in the monetization tract, you learn more about how to make a living from your blog.

Last year, the tract included a “Super Bloggers Panel” that included Jeremy Shoemaker of Shoemoney, Darren “Problogger” Rowse, Zac Johnson, John Chow, and Brian Clark of Copyblogger.  The panel was so successful, that they’re bringing all the same people back for another “Super Blogger” panel.

Here’s the rest of the monetization tract schedule:

The BlogWorld organizers took a lot of video of the sessions, last year, but I never saw any of the video released.  It would have been great to have some video of the event.  What does this mean for you?  It means you have to get your butt to Las Vegas in October to see us all live, because it will likely be the only chance you’ll have to see these sessions.

Conferences create a unique environment where you get to socialize and network with the best people in your industry.  This provides exponential growth opportunities for you and your business that you can only get in a gathering, like these.  How do you grow and get better?  Surround yourself with people that are smarter and better than yourself.  BlogWorld provides that opportunity.

BlogWorld takes place October 15-17 at the Las Vegas Convention Center (same place it was held, last year).  Go here for the latest information on the speakers and tracts.  Get your conference pass, here!
