Who is a good fit for this workshop?

Bloggers who have traffic to their websites, have been blogging for a while, are making a little money but are ready to take the next steps are the best fit for this program.

If you’ve tried Adsense, affiliate marketing, sponsored posts or membership sites as a monetization course, you’d be perfect for this class.

What I’d like to avoid are “first week bloggers”. If you just installed your blog for the first time, this is not the conference for you. Leave a comment and I can point you in the right direction, but here we’re not going to be addressing “what is a plugin” or any basic WordPress skill.

WHERE ARE WE GOING TO MEET?

The Details

Every city we meet in we get to try a new cool place. Denver was an awesome library, Nashville a bed-and-breakfast, Atlanta a co-working space. But to get hooked up to a Stone Creek Coffee IV when you walk in the door and have it pumped directly into your bloodstream. . . .that’s clearly the awesomest by far.

This conference will be held

Address:
Stone Creek Coffee
422 N 5th St, Milwaukee, WI 53203
