Join me at Bloggers International
Building a successful blog takes know-how, strategy and effort. Having navigated my way through the early days of blogging by myself, I know just how much hard work this can be!
So I am delighted to be taking part in Bloggers International, a place where you can find answers to your blogging questions, learn more about blogging strategy and network with fellow bloggers and all in a friendly supportive environment.
The event takes place next Wed evening, 29th June, 7.30pm at the Heritage Hotel, Portlaoise and will take the form of a bloggers clinic. A panel of blogging pros will be answering your questions on both the technical and creative sides of blogging. The Irish panel consists of Beatrice Whelan, Niall Devitt, Amanda Webb and myself.
Submit a question and win a prize
You can submit questions before the meeting and there will be prizes drawn for those who have submitted questions.

Hope to see you there!

Is your blog in a fog?
Christina Pappas, a blogger with Zmags.com posed the following dilemma to Mark Schaefer, director of Schaefer Marketing Solutions:
I joined my company in September of 2010 and one of my “missions” was to start and maintain a consistent blogging schedule. I am posting regularly (at least 1x per day) and am sticking to themes that my audience would relate to. But I cannot reach two goals: getting subscribers and getting comments. We have 2,500 customers and only 170 blog subscribers. Why such a big disconnect? Why am I creating great content for no results?
Mark took the opportunity to dissect Christina’s blog as a case study and the answers he comes up with are sure to benefit many of you struggling with some of the same issues.
