So next Saturday I am off to Blogtacular and I uber excited about this. I couldn't make it last year and I was gutted so I treated myself to a early Christmas gift and got a ticket as soon as I could.

The Saturday after that I am off to Britmums Live, I haven't missed one yet! This year will be different for me as I am a speaker *shakes with nerves*. Now if anyone knows me from way back when I had my first little blog they will know I did indeed speak at the very first Cyber Mummy which was pre Britmums Live. I was a crowd sourced speaker and read out a of my blog posts and vowed never to speak in public again *ahem*.
I am being brave and along with the lovely Kate and Chelle I shall be talking about being a social media manager. I know many people think its not a real job but honestly it is! If you are coming to my session please be kind.
Ok I suppose I should tell you a little bit about me:
My name is Carol
I'm really bad at taking selfies
*cough* Its my birthday the day before Blogtacular
I am addicted to starting new blogs
I have been blogging just over 6 years
I may not be a natural red head
I love red lipstick
I can't cook Yorkshire puddings
I bake darn good cakes
When I was little my nan asked my what I wanted to be when I grew up and I said a secretary, to which she replied "you want to be the boss!" so I took her advice and became my own boss.
I give really good hugs
If you want to know any more about me just ask.
Before I go I wrote a post a few years ago for my client Kids One Stop Shop on How To Survive a Blogging Conference, its full of tips for newbies.
As a newbie to BritMums Live, I'm going to read "How To Survive a Blogging Conference' with great interest! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI hope you really enjoy Britmums Live, please come over and say hello!
DeleteHey Carol,
ReplyDeleteI'll be at Blogtacular too and the ticket was an early b-day present for me.
Its going to be sooo much fun.
See you, Tobia
Yay!!
DeleteCongratulations - how exciting!
ReplyDeleteThank you x
DeleteOh how exciting for you - two conferences in one month (and your birthday!!) Good for you agreeing to be a speaker again at BritMums Live... I'm sure all the speakers get nervous (I'm a tad nervous as I'm reading a post out for the Bloggers' Keynote) but it'll all be okay! I'm torn between your session and another, as I am starting to do some work with local organisations and their social media and just don't know if it's the right direction for me to go or whether I should stick to writing. I don't think I'm going to be able to make that decision until the day, so I may or may not see you in your session!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting for you!! Feel free to ask me any questions if you go to the other session x
DeleteHi Carol! You sound like lots of fun, I hope we get to meet up and chat at Blogtacular!
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing you there :-)
