The Blogger Week™ UnConference took place May 3rd. The Blogger Week UnConference featured hot-topic discussions and breakout sessions to promote innovation, creativity and success for bloggers and social media mavens. I was privileged to sit on the Big Business of Beauty Blogging panel with Yolanda of Etc Blog Mag and Erin of Bag Ladies Radio, where we had the opportunity to answer commonly asked questions about beauty blogging and respond to questions from from attendees.

Some of the other sessions presented included Ultimate Guide to Digital Monetizing, Social Media Strategies, and Branding in the Digital Age.  I really enjoyed each of the sessions I attended.  The speakers were engaging and informative, and appropriate for the novice and the expert blogger. I also enjoyed engaging with the other bloggers who attended, and even reconnected with someone I went to college with.
