I’ll be on the affiliate marketing panel along with Tara and Christine, two women that I adore and can’t wait to meet.  The topics here will include  SEO, other ways of making money with your blog, and so much more.   What?  You didn’t know I knew this stuff?  I don’t really but I pretend I do;)  After all, I did have a blog that was, at one time, on the Top Money Making Blogs list at 45n5.com.

Why you should attend!

If you are wanting to be at one of the hottest conferences of the year, this is the one folks.  You’ll learn everything from blogging basics, social media, marketing–to photography!  And you’ll want to go because you’ll get to meet me of course.  This will be a much more personable experience than that other conference and I encourage you to attend if it’s at all possible!

You have until Dec. 31st to register for ONLY $100 bucks. That’s a HUGE discount people and you’d be crazy not to do it.  You can register after that but the price goes up.

Not only will this be a great learning experience, it will be a bonding experience between women-moms-bloggers and I look forward to getting my bliss on with all of them!

That’s where the shoes can be bought;)..on sale might I add.

It all got started when Suri’s shoes were shown on the Oprah interview with Tom Cruise at his home.  When they walked in the front door, you could put your shoes in these compartments.  Oprah saw Suri’s Ladybug shoes, picked them up and showed them to the camera. OMG, those shoes came from a Mompreneur, named Katja.  Yes, a small business gal here in our very own blogging world got something from her store on, not only national tv, but OPRAH!  Oh, and if you wanna know who hand painted those shoes, check out Monkey Toes…another awesome mompreneur!

You see, Katja had sent a gift basket to Tom Cruise and they had a mutual friend.  They lived nearby their small town in Colorado so having something like this happen is a HUGE deal! Not just for Katja, the Skimbaco store, or Monkey Toes but for every hardworking work at home parent.  It proves that anything can happen, that even YOUR product could end up on the Oprah show or anywhere!!  Her story is inspirational to say the least!

Okay so guess what?  The Oprah interview is reairing tomorrow (Dec. 12th) so YOU MUST WATCH IT AND SEE THE SHOES IN REAL LIFE! And to celebrate this, Katja is providing me a pair shoes just like Suri’s to giveaway here!! WOOHOO:)

Scroll down for giveaway…go shop for huge discounts…or do both!
