Special Keynote Panel Saturday Night Featuring:
I am thrilled to announce that I will be moderating a rock star panel at Fitbloggin this year! I had the idea after I realized that the highlight of the media kit session I presented at with Shannyn and Annabelle in 2013 was the Q&A portion at the end of the presentation. I received so much positive feedback about how open and honest we were when asked some commonly ‘off topic’ questions such as; ‘what makes you the most money for your blog?’, or ‘how many page views do you receive a month?’ In that spirit I’ve asked some of the best healthy living bloggers to come and all answer the same five questions (you’ll have to come to the panel to hear what they are!) relating to their favorite tips and tricks to growing their business and the best advice they’d have for other bloggers. After their short presentations I will open the floor for questions from the audience. I project this will be an extremely energetic, insightful and open discussion on what it takes to evolve your brand or blog into the best version it can be.
