We all have hopes and dreams in our lives. As a blogger,there is always something to learn and so much to stay on top off. Trends change and social media has become crucial in the world of online presence. “Bloggy Conference was created to enable the members of the blogosphere to attend a conference where family can come along and enjoy the trip as much as conference attendees. Attendees will walk away from Bloggy Conference with a better sense of authentic self,community,education and direction” via Bloggy Conference. I am seeking a partial or full sponsorship to cover the cost of the event,as well as travel accommodations and other expenses.

Although I have maintained this blog since 2007,I have just recently been able to get more involved with it to market it. I am a part of several mom blogging communities such as Blog Frog,Social Moms,Bloggy Moms,SITS Girls and more. As well as other sites such as Our Milk Money,Pitch It To Me,Business 2 Blogger,and Clever Network. Reviews and giveaways are the main focus of 7 on a Shoestring. I enjoy reviewing products from reputable companies and then sharing my honest opinion with my readers. In turn,I am able to share with the reader as I offer a giveaway based on product reviews on my blog.

I actively engage in various Social Media outlets to get the word out to others. My blog is fed directly to both Facebook and Twitter to potentially reach thousands of readers. All views expressed are 100% mine and are factual based on my personal experience,along with that of my review team{otherwise known as my family}. I am always honest and fair when representing a brand to my loyal readers and followers. I believe everyone deserves to know the truth about a brand before making an informed buying decision.

By attending BloggyCon’11 from July 13-16,2011,at Great Wolf Lodge in Mason,Ohio,I am hoping to learn from the extensive panel of experts and to increase my blog traffic. Readers are eager for information and reviews that are relative to their lifestyle. I attempt to relate to my followers on a personal level as a mom,a woman and a consumer in general. The anticipation of possibly attending my first conference is overwhelming and I am eager to promote a sponsor willing to give me the opportunity.
