There’s No Party Like a NOLA Party: Niche Mommy Conference 2012

by

Last weekend was spent in the wonderful city that is New Orleans at The Niche Mommy Conference. As I blogged before, I was invited to attend the first year of Niche Mommy as an attendee and a panelist. It was a great mix of bloggers who wanted to network, learn, and share their blogging experiences. Taking our blogs to the next level by making it our primary business is something that most of us attending aspire to do, and there were plenty of experts on hand to share their knowledge and guidance.

I went to the conference a day early to get a feel for New Orleans, since this was my first visit. On Thursday, I soaked up time in the Guerlain Spa located in The Roosevelt Hotel New Orleans, and then met up with other attendees at a pre-conference reception. Afterwards, we headed to the French Quarter and kicked it with the Collective Bias Crew (actually, make that two nights!).

The two and a half day conference was wonderful and was well put together. I love a conference that is located in a great venue and that runs smoothly.

Below are a few pictures of my escapades and adventures in New Orleans. I would recommend Niche Mommy Conference to anyone who wants to learn more about how to make their blog and social media presence and influence a full-time career.

I’m A Panelist at The Niche Mommy Conference!

by

I’ve been sitting on a bit of news! Last week, I was selected to be on a special panel at The Niche Mommy Conference currently taking place in New Orleans. The panel is called Moms Matter in 2012: Discussing the 2012 Election. As someone who does discuss politics from time to time on my social networks (and as a fangirl of Michelle Obama, which has been showcased many times on my blog), I felt that I had a lot of lend in this area.

I will be a panelist with several other moms, some who discuss politics on their websites and others who shy away from it. The goal of our session is to bring attention to the next election and the importance of our voices as a collective unit expressing our needs, no matter what political side we happen to be on. The session is being moderated by Lindsay Ferrier and Cafe Mom, which will be recording video of the session for their website.

Political affiliation and the presidential election can be sticky topic to discuss on any platform, and I know a lot of my colleagues don’t like to blog about the current political climate. This will be a dynamic and interesting session discussing all sides, and I feel very proud be a part of it.

The panel will take place on Saturday, and I am hoping I will be able to bring you pictures and tid-bits from the discussion, and furnish you with a link to the video when it is live!

I’m Headed to The Big Easy for The Niche Mommy Conference

Can you believe that I have never been to New Orleans?

Well, that is about to change, because I am heading to NOLA for The Niche Mommy Conference, taking place at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel near the French Quarter. This is the inaugural conference event for Niche Mommy, and I am very excited to be attending.

As you may be able to tell, I am an avid fan of attending conferences. There is so much to learn, I feel like I want to be front and center. And while I can’t attend each and every conference I want to, it sure feels good to be able to attend the ones that I really feel are special and will help me propel my brand.

I am so looking forward to the networking that will take place, as well as the plenty o’ talking points and takeaways that are sure to take place.

If you’d like to follow my experience while in New Orleans for The Niche Mommy Conference, make sure to follow me on Twitter and on my Facebook page.

NOLA, here I come, baby! I hope you’re ready!

Talking Points: Make Social Media Fabulous

by

Last month, I had the pleasure of speaking at the INC Yourself workshop, presented by the St. Louis Comptroller’s Office in conjunction with St. Louis Community College. I was on deck to discuss social media and how it can be utilized by small business owners and entrepreneurs.

My presentation was based on my favorite word: FABULOUS, and was entitled Make Your Social Media Fabulous. I feel that social media, when done right, can really help propel a business or idea. Without social media, I wouldn’t be able to reach my readers, or build a web audience like I have.

Here are the talking points from Make Social Media FABULOUS:
