My #bwe10 Experience

Being a part of BlogWorld New Media Expo as a new blogger was an amazingly inspiring experience. I was able to meet so many wonderful bloggers; some of whose blogs I had been reading before even starting a blog myself! Not to mention the invaluable information passed along in the conference sessions.


To me, BlogWorld Expo truly affirms that Social Media is not a mere ‘fad’ but rather a whole new way of communicating with our world neighbors! I met bloggers, entrepreneurs, social media mavens and connected with wonderfully unique and down-to-earth individuals from all over the world!


The social media community is one of forward thinkers, and in that I find solace. To be in a room full of people who work hard each day to make life work for them is amazing.


IZEA, a company who is to me a great example of fresh new thinking in social media was my ticket sponsor to BlogWorld. (you can see my contest entry and info here.) During the Expo, Ted Murphy the Founder of IZEA was bathed in milk and cereal for charity! It was definitely a great interactive experience that took guts because it was cold in that expo hall. Here’s a glimpse:

Also, while at BlogWorld I won a spot on Blog Talk Radio! I was absolutely thrilled for the opportunity and although thoroughly nervous during the interview, I think I was able to get through it without making a complete fool of myself….you be the judge:

Of course this is only the tip of the iceberg! My time at #bwe10 in Las Vegas was rich, new and enjoyable. I can’t wait to share more with you this week!

Big News and More News!

Happy Monday!

I’m so excited to finally launch MissLuluBlogs.com and here we are!
There are some new things, and also some great news too!
This new site layout is similar to ‘BoardingtheMOTHERship’ but I want to be much more interactive and involve you, the readers!


I am happy to announce that I will be attending BlogWorld and New Media Expo courtesy of IZEA, The Social Media Company.  They’ve provided me a Full-Access pass that I plan on using to the fullest! I have so much to learn & so many people I am excited to meet.















If you’re headed to BlogWorld Expo follow me on Twitter [@MissLuluBlogs] & let’s connect at the Expo! Since I’m sort of new to the bloggosphere I look forward to learning new things and becoming a more active participant in the blog community.

Why NOT me? IZEA, send me to BlogWorld Expo! -UPDATE

A HUGE Thanks goes out to IZEA for selecting me as one of the lucky few to attend BlogWorld New media Expo 2010! I'm sooooo excited and cannot wait to share my adventure with you all! CLICK HERE to see all the winners announced.  




 


IZEA is partnering with BlogWorld New Media Expo to send 10 bloggers to their conference in Las Vegas this October!

If I am chosen, this would be my very first blog conference experience ever!


Going to Blog World would be a dream come true! 

There are 10 passes up for grabs! Why not me?

Over the past year I have become a social media addict! I love that our global community is getting closer and more connected!


I'm a mom, a wife, daughter, blogger and sociocultural anthropology student...I need a weekend in Vegas!


Were I to be selected, I'd sing the praises of IZEA from California, all the way to Nevada and then some! Because I'm such a new blogger, I don't have any other conflicting sponsors, so IZEA...I need a tattoo of your logo or something! 


I look forward to the great potential learning experience this conference will be! I hope to learn new things about blogging, branding, make connections with other bloggers, get new ideas and of course...have a little fun!


I'll actively keep my readers and followers posted all weekend long and bring back stories, tips, great blog posts and news!


So, what else can I say?

"Pick Me!"
