Last time I organised a blog event was nearly five years ago.
Even though I was six months into my second blog, Redland City Living, I was still very new to the blogging scene.
However I wasn’t going to let that stop me! I was keen to meet other local bloggers IRL (in real life) – so I booked a table at a local cafe and put the word out, hoping that somebody (anybody!) would turn up.
My prayers were answered, and about a dozen bloggers turned up for coffee and chat.
It was a lot of fun and I promised I would do it again …
Better late than never right?!
The Blogosphere is Constantly Changing
Looking back on the guest list from the Redland Bloggers Meet Up, some are no longer blogging. A few are still going strong, and some have gone on to establish new blogs.
And that’s the thing. The blogosphere is continually changing – blogs come, blogs go. Those of us that stick at it long enough find ourselves the elders of the bloggy clan, by default!
The thing is, I’m not a newbie blogger anymore. As a bloggy ‘elder’ I’ve even been invited to speak about blogging at a couple of gigs in the last couple of years. They were incredibly well-received – the Blogging for Money workshop in November last year sold out! – and I had people asking me to “do it again”.
So I’ve finally got my act together and am taking the plunge.
Introducing Pop Up Blog Zones
But what is a Pop Up Blog Zone? I’m so glad you asked!
A Pop Up Blog Zone is a casual event which (surprise surprise) pops up in a seemingly spontaneous fashion (don’t be fooled, there’s a lot of work behind the scenes LOL), taking over a venue for a couple of hours so that attendees can:
- connect with other bloggers;
- learn about blogging;
- talk about blogging;
- share ideas about blogging;
- be inspired about blogging;
- join forces with other bloggers … well, you get the idea.
This first event will be held at Loganholme, on Brisbane’s southside, in the M1 Psychology Training Room.
But I’m hoping it’s just the first of many. Perhaps the next one could be in your neck of the woods?!
Here’s Your Invitation
Interested? Click on over to find out more, or book your ticket. Our venue this time means that numbers are strictly limited to 12 attendees.
I really hope that if you live in the Brisbane area, and want to find out more about this bloggy caper, that you will come and join us!
And once again I find myself praying that somebody, ANYBODY, will actually turn up … 😉
Can you help me spread the word about the first ever Pop Up Blog Zone?!
I’m joining up with:
