Sponsorship {Partner With A Company You Love}

noreply@blogger.com (Tiffany Noth) — Mon, 07 May 2012 12:36:00 +0000

Finding Sponsorship Tips by Sara Broers

Attending a blog conference can be one of the biggest turning points in your life. From the relationships, partnerships, and life long skills that you will take away; you can be inspired to achieve greater things. Do not let the cost of the conference get in your way, reach out to form a partnership and make it happen.

Find a company that you appreciate and inspires you. It is through your passion that
you can form a partnership to do great things while attending a blog conference. Do not reach out to a company that does not interest you or fit in with your interests. Embrace something that you love and form a partnership. Now, I am sure you are asking, “How do I form that partnership?” Iʼve got a few tips that may work. Go ahead, implement them and see what happens.

• Connect with a company on any and all social media platforms.

• Support the efforts of a company that you would like to form a partnership with.

• Your proposal for forming a partnership should be sent through E-Mail. Private
message through your social media platforms to find out where the E-Mail needs to
go. Sometimes a telephone call may be your best avenue to obtain the name of the
person you need to connect with.

• Know that your first, second, third, and even fourth proposal may be rejected. For
every 10 times I have heard the word, “No” I have heard “Yes”.

• Show the company that you would like to partner with what you can offer them. Make
sure your blog and social media platforms are updated with current information.

A company will not want to partner with someone that appears lazy and uninterested.
There is no science to finding a partner for Bloggy Conference 2012. Now is the time to find the company and/or organization that you want to form a partnership with. Budgets are always changing and proposals often take time to review. By presenting realistic goals and expectations (of both parties) you can develop a partnership for Bloggy Conference 2012. And who knows, you may even find yourself a fun, freelance gig after the conference!

Iʼd love to hear who you will be partnering with while attending Bloggy Conference 2012. You can connect with me on Twitter and keep up with me at All In An Iowa Momʼs Day.

Own Your Dreams Feature {Jackie Hennessey}

noreply@blogger.com (Tiffany Noth) — Fri, 04 May 2012 00:24:00 +0000

Introducing our second Own Your Dreams Feature! It is possible to own your dreams, whether it's in social media and the blogosphere... or in more traditional entrepreneurial ventures. Bloggy Conference is about building community and increasing your knowledge to Own Your Dreams!

Meet Jackie Hennessey who stepped out of her comfort zone to Own Her Dreams!

I spent many years internalizing negative energy. Some originating from my own inner critic and some from outside sources. Regardless, it’s debilitating. It’s toxic, quite frankly. Before I turned 40 about a year ago, something just clicked. I knew I needed to ignore the noise and forge ahead with what I really wanted to do in my life. (I have two beautiful children, a wonderful husband, a successful pr consulting business, life was good. But I had this dream in me. I had my family's 100% support too!) I started a blog, www.ventingsessions.com, a place where moms can let it out. A site where moms can get a little comic relief and look at our chaotic lives with a fresh, witty perspective.

And I had always dreamed of writing a book. I decided to take the bull by the horns and write a fun-to-read book for moms that could be read in real mommy time. The book I wanted when my children were toddlers! After a few weeks, I decided to take a risk and self-publish it. After many sleepless nights writing, designing, creating and working with the publishing team, my book, How to Spread Sanity on a Cracker: Mom-to-mom whines, cheese, rants & recipes, was born. I can't believe the number of people who have approached me, asking about my experience. From TV reporters to authors to moms! I'm so thrilled to share my advice for self-publishing a book. And for looking at motherhood with a smile on my face (and cheese dip in hand). Since my gift book came out this spring, which features quick mommy-time whines and cheese dish recipes, I've been interviewed by ShePosts.com, TLC's Parentables and also guest blogged on ScaryMommy.com to name a few.

Owning my dreams and forging ahead with what I've always wanted to do has given me a new-found sense of self-discovery. A sense of joy. A little panic-ridden suburban mom-induced angst, but a lot of joy. I'm excited to share my story with mo re women. I want them to know they should ignore the noise and follow their dreams. Moms - YOU deserve it!

Own Your Dreams Feature {Mandy Gresh}

noreply@blogger.com (Tiffany Noth) — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 16:15:00 +0000

Introducing our first Own Your Dreams Feature! It is possible to own your dreams, whether it's in social media and the blogosphere... or in more traditional entrepreneurial ventures. Bloggy Conference is about building community and increasing your knowledge to Own Your Dreams!

Meet Mandy Gresh who took charge of her life to Own Her Dreams!

To be honest, I don’t consider myself a “leap and the net will appear” kind of person. I spent 10 years happily working for other people. More than six of them at one company I was quite comfortable at… Until I wasn’t. My job became all-consuming: I woke up and checked my blackberry, went to the office from 9-7 or 8, ate lunch at my desk, took a break for gym/dinner and then got back online around 9-11 doing more work. For many years I stressed out about sales, revenue numbers, marketing plans and making my direct reports happy. I traveled three to four times a month which left little room for anything else… Friends, Men, Hobbies… You get the drift. As much as I loved it, there had to be more to life than this.

My gut told me I wasn’t going to find my next thing by staying at my current company. I had tons of ideas for my own business. I wanted to take on the world. I tried to talk to my parents and friends about it, but it was always the same thing, “In this economy, you can’t quit without finding another job first.”

Regardless, I knew I couldn’t move forward without making a drastic change. I reviewed my savings, did some calculating and decided that I could afford to support me and my “family” (a rescued dog and cat) for at least six months comfortably. During this time I would explore any all opportunities that came my way — projects, my own business, yoga, travel, classes, etc. I would be open to things that came my way. I would invest in myself. So I leapt and gave notice.

A year later, I’ve mentored more than 50 women on challenges such as idea clarification, goal setting, execution strategies and career transition. I also pick and choose strategy projects that I find interesting. I work on what I want, when I want. I’m meeting new people. I’m writing. I’m exercising more. I’m sending old friends notes. I’m making new friends in New York. I’m generally loving life as opportunities find me.

I’m not advocating that everyone quit their jobs to do this. But I am giving you permission to listen to that little voice that’s saying somethings off, evaluate the situation and take a leap. As much love and support family and friends give you, no one knows what you need more than you. In the wise words of my sister, “you only get one life, you might as well make it a good one.”

So I’ll leave you with my favorite quote: “Faith is believing that one of two things will happen she said. That there will be something solid for you to stand on or that you will be taught to fly.”
