Are you looking to be an authority blogger? Join the Authority Blogger SOBCon Contest!
Blog Catalog, SOBCon08, and Authority Blogger have come together to make an exciting new contest offer. It’s all set to help you launch your yourself this year as an Authority Blogger with the plan, the models, and the support that you need to be off to a successful career.
What is SOBCon08?
As you may already know, I am going to be giving a talk at this years SOBEvent in Chicago.
I’m very excited, not just because I think it will be a fantastic event (it will), a lot of fun (yup), and I will get a chance to meet some really cool people (that too), but also I think the attendees will get a huge amount of benefit from it.
You see, it is a conference like no other.
SOBCon08 is small and focused on truly beneficial and actionable information. It’s a series of mastermind meetings. You will get quality time with serious experts giving real knowledge, not lame half-pitches for their expensive CD box set
Other speakers/presenters include: Anita Bruzzese from Gannett USA Today, on online reputation management, Brian Clark, Copyblogger, on online business models that work, Lorelle VanFossen of Lorelle on WordPress, one focusing your business to get noticed, Muhammad Saleem on what makes an appropriate social networking portfolio, Chris Brogan, on social media choices that produce, Dave Bullock, a sales model that converts, Liz Strauss, how to build an irresistible offer and Wendy Piersall on success management.
Don’t you think that is perfect for Authority Bloggers? That’s why we’re offering this contest!
