With the dizzying statistic that there is a blog being born every half second, and with the number of brands looking to engage with on-line publishers, influential bloggers are often asked how they stay at the top of this game. With the rise of the dad blogging niche, more often the question is raised because the inquisitive blogger wants to achieve the same success. The question is usually based on the idea that, “I want my blog to be like your blog.” The answer is not simple as many steps go into becoming an influential blogger. In this session, attendees will learn what prevails over page layouts, SEO, metagging, and “all that other stuff.” Listen close, this session will.be.good!
