So as you all know, I am desperately trying to figure out how to go to BlogHer this summer without impacting our family’s regular budget. We have a weekend trip and a longer family vacation planned for this summer, and after several discussions, I agreed with my husband that those have to be our priority as far as money goes.
And by “several discussions”, I mean him trying to talk to me rationally, and me slamming doors and pouting. Because I’m mature like that.
I want to go to BlogHer more than just about anything. I’m waiting to hear if I have been chosen for a volunteer “BlogHership”, which covers the cost of the conference and would be a huge help. In the meantime, I’ve accepted a job helping a fellow blogger get a new blog started by hiring other bloggers to contribute posts. Which is a little scary because I’ve never been great at management and I have that huge procrastination problem, but the good thing is we are all friends, him and me and the writers I hired, so I’m hoping we’ll have fun with it and be successful too.
I’m thinking about copying something I saw on another blog yesterday which was a tab at the top of the page labeled “Affiliates”. On that page, she had all of her affiliate badges, with descriptions about the company. I thought that was really clever. I am an affiliate for Linkworth, for Foodbuzz, for Sponsored Reviews, and for Amazon.com.
Linkworth has lots of different types of ads-text link ads, linkPosts, linkInTxt (like Kontera), and linkWords. If you sign up to either buy ads or to run them on your site, I earn a commission when you make $100. I just want to be upfront about that. If you’re interested, please visit this URL–http://www.linkworth.com/?a=3719
Foodbuzz! Some of you have cooking blogs, and if you do, you can apply to be a featured publisher with Foodbuzz. You’ll have a page on the site to post recipes, rate the restaurants in your city, read reviews of restaurants all over the world, drool over yummy food photos, read food blog posts-it’s foodtastic, I tell you. Interested in signing up with your food blog? Do this, and I earn $50 if you are accepted as a publisher. I really do!

So there you go. I’ve pimped out my two biggest affiliate programs, and now I must put my 2 year old to bed and clean up this pigsty of a living room. Plus pick contest winners and post on MomCooks and………..

Jennifer-Here’s a link to the BlogHer Conferences page–http://www.blogher.com/blogher_conference/conf/ I truly believe that it is something that every blogger should try to attend if they can. The information you learn and the contacts you make can be invaluable. And it’s fun!

Courtney-Thanks! I know the site can be confusing with the myriad of tabs, so if you have trouble finding your way around I’ll be happy to help
I recommend signing up for everything to give advertisers the most options.
Do what you can to get to Blogher. I’ve never been, but I do attend conferences for my industry and it is so valuable. The networking that is done after the show is often worth more than actually attending the sessions. If blogging is your thing, sounds like this needs to be a priority for you. I hope you can make it.
