First off, thanks to everyone who came out last Wednesday. A big thanks to
The Network Hub for letting us use their fabulous space. A huge hug to
Hummingbird 604 for asking me to be on the panel, and of course, a huge thanks to my fellow panelists:
A Beautiful Life,
Fashion Forward 40, &
Style Struck.
For those of you who missed out, we had a lively discussion about monetization, the state of blogging in Canada, PR pitches, and many other things.
A few tips from the evening's conversation:
1) PR firms: Know the blogger & their content before pitching. Also, personalize pitches.
2) Some brands, big and small, don't see the value of getting blog exposure.
3) Don't get discouraged by not having a high number of comments.
4) Blog for yourself, not for attention.
5) Have a consistent brand across social platforms.
6) Post as often and consistently as you can.
7) Take the opportunity to meet other bloggers in real life - even if you seem like a stalker.
