Where In The World Is Deb?

Hi!  

I'm the editor of www.readhampton.com. My name is Deb Brown.  Today I'm in Chicago at the SOBCon 09.  That is Successful Outstanding Bloggers Conference.  It is actually a 3 day business school for bloggers.  

Why?  

Let me tell you a little about the conference and what I'll be learning.  Today we have successful, interesting bloggers presenting and then having a conversation with the attendees.

  The topics covered today are: 

trust in building community and participation in a 21st century business

Power positioning: from personal branding to online assets

what to do, know and expect from a blog based business

explore the changes that come with ramping up from business person to CEO

ins and outs of writing for your readers and search engines

expand the conversation into audio and video

tools and strategies for keeping the back office on track

tailoring your web content for the accessibility market

We publish this online newspaper using a blog.  I am learning how to monetize my blog, how to have excellent content and keep my advertisers happy, how to add audio and video, and how to garner more readers.  

I'll keep you updated!
