blog-headlines

We're bloggers. We're not award winning authors (okay, I guess some of us are... not me though) so it's only natural for us to struggle with our headlines from time to time. I'll admit, despite my degree in writing I still write mediocre headlines from time to time. No blogger is immune, for sure.  But if you don't know this already, you really should be aware of the fact that your headline is in most cases what will stand between you and … [Read more...]

How To Earn Back What You Spend On Blog Conferences

February 25, 2015 by Brittany Bullen 2 Comments

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to attend a blogging conference here in Salt Lake City. I spent $150 for the ticket, but I didn't have any additional travel expenses because I live nearby. What surprised me was the number of people who attended with me who had flown in from all over the country. I couldn't help but wonder, "Was it worth the expense?"     That was, until I met a woman named Rachel Farnsworth of The Stay … [Read more...]
