Yeah, yeah, I know. It was a bad joke last year, too, but I was hoping that it would grow on you.
I’m speaking again at BlogHer – this time, it’s in San Francisco (insert squeals here).
My session is Friday morning, July 18 at 10:30am. The description is here:
If you’re a blogger, and your blog contributes to your livelihood…whether through direct monetization or as a platform to get freelance and consulting work…then it’s a business. But what does that mean? What should you be thinking about? Three experts are on hand to get down to brass tacks. Starting with taxes. Kelly Phillips Erb is back to give you the low-down. Linsey Krolik will answer your legal questions, including when incorporation makes sense. Finally Sabrina Parsons will try to demystify the number one question many freelancers and consultants have: How do I quote for my services and build a proposal that attaches the appropriate value to my time and the work I do?
If you’re coming, too, please stop by and say hello! I’d love to meet my fellow bloggers!
If you haven’t yet signed up for BlogHer, pop on over and do it. It’s sooo much fun – and did I mention that it’s tax deductible?
And as if you’re not excited enough that I’ll be there and speaking, there are some really awesome speakers lined up – like Dana Loesch of Mamalogues, Gwen Bell, Joanne Bamberger of PunditMom and Susan Wagner at Fashion Find (who I had the pleasure to meet last year and she is just fabulous). The closing keynotes include Heather Armstrong (you know her as Dooce) and Stephanie Klein.
So what are you waiting for?
Great that you’re speaking again Kelly. I’d like to be there but its too far to travel at the moment from Italy for me. Will there be podcasts of the talks?
Donna
I know that they are live blogging the event – and it’s in Second Life. I am not sure about podcasts, I’ll check.
