I've been passionately blogging since 2007. I started this blog as a way to stay connected with my friends and family, never dreaming that this blog would one day turn into something more. Over the years, I've had so many incredible opportunities because of this little blog that I'm incredibly thankful for.
I've attended a few blog conferences, including BlogHer three times (in NYC, San Diego, and NYC again) and Mom 2.0 in Miami, and I've been to BlissDom Canada three times: in 2010, 2011, and 2012, which was my favourite one yet.
The thing I love most about going to these conferences is connecting with and seeing my friends again—sure, we're there to learn, network, and have a good time, but nothing beats the connection and joy of seeing the people you only get the chance to see once a year.
I was thrilled to be a Community Leader at BlissDom Canada in 2012, and I'm happy to be back again this year as a Community Leader!
There is always a lot of great learning going on at conferences like BlissDom Canada, and I think people really enjoy the micro-sessions. It's learning in a more relaxed, intimate setting, where you get the chance to ask all the questions, network, and meet new friends and business associates who share the same goals and ideas as you.
I'm going to be leading (three) micro-sessions on Saturday, October 4th about How to take your love of blogging to the next level and make it your business.
Here's some more information about my session:
From Blog To Business
Whether you're passionate about food, fashion, beauty or travel, you'll learn about how you can take your blog to the next level and make it your business. Through sponsored posts to ad spots on your site, you'll earn what it takes to turn your blogging hobby into a business where you're making money. Tips include who to work as a Brand Ambassador, reaching out to a wider audience through TV appearances, and working as a spokesperson. Also covered in this session: how to approach companies and brands you're interested in working with, when it's okay to work for free, and how to say no without feeling guilty.
If you're attending BlissDom Canada 2014, I can't wait to see you again, and if we haven't met before—I can't wait to meet you! I hope you'll consider signing up for my micro-session. I can't wait to chat with you and get to know you a little better.
If you have any questions before, during, or after the conference, don't be shy. Email me at loukiazigoumis@gmail.com. (I love to chat!)
Thank you!

Good luck and hopefully we will cross paths at Blissdom. I will be in white gogo boots on Thursday.
