Top 10 Reasons Why I Love Bloggy Boot Camp
- “If it isn’t hell yeah, it’s NO!” – Danielle Smith (speaker/presenter at Bloggy Boot Camp Las Vegas). Tiffany’s Epiphany: it’s okay to say NO.
- Being surrounded by people who “get it”. Everyone was there because they understand the blog world.
- Networking. Meeting so many fun, smart, intriguing women.
- Ford Warriors in Pink. Moved by the courage and strength of these warriors.
- Free wine. Love my wine and even better when I don’t have to pay for it.
- Uninterrupted sleep. As a mom of two littles, enough said!
- Inspiration/Motivation. I felt the belief that YES, we can do this!
- Education/Information. Learned so much in one day/ can’t wait to put it into action.
- Becoming part of a tribe. Met so many peeps and I look forward to being a part of their tribe.
- SEO, baby! Search engines watch out; TS4T is gonna get you!
P.S. Some of the above Top 10 deserve higher rank, but there can’t be 10 #1’s!
Here’s a short video of me picking up my girls after returning from Bloggy Boot Camp.
Note: Please forgive the shakiness this was my first vlog and I was excited to see my littles. Also, I was driving my mom’s car, explaining why I didn’t know how to turn it off.
Tootles,

How cool is that? Your very first vlog… and I got to be a part of witnessing it — awesome! I haven’t attended a BBC yet, oh but one day… it’s in my plans for the future. I think it sounds like a rockin’ time and of course a wonderful experience too.
But congrats on your vlog! I made a few and had to pull them from my blog when I smartly remembered to ask the unions that I’m in (Screen Actors Guild and Am. Federation of Radio & TV Artists) if it was an okay thing to do. “No”, they said — not unless I pull union contracts on my own online recorded stuff. So that quagmire lead into email attachments from the union that explain everything. There’s been so much going on that I haven’t yet gotten around to reading through all of the stuff that they sent me. But, I will! I have to! I’m just glad I thought to inquire about it, first — before I went traipsing off, recording even more than I did (I didn’t create that many videos, thankfully. It took a lot of my time to qualify to become a member of SAG/AFTRA and I would’ve been just sick and heart broken had I jeopardized my union membership status. Crazy, huh?
I love your blog. I love, love, love your enthusiasm. And I love that you’re one of my SITS-ters! Have a wonderful weekend; what’s left!
PS Grab a copy of the eBook I created for the SITS Girls who stopped by my blog when I was recently a FB (featured blogger); it’s linked to my comment!
Carlo-Thank you so much for the nice comment, it really has me smiling ear to ear!! The SITS Girls has been an amazing thing that I am so grateful we discovered in these early days of our blog! I feel that I have some really great SITS-ters to help us soar!
I hope that you eventually get a chance to get your vlogs out there, I can’t believe how many details there are to think about and follow through on!
I subscribed to your e-mails and really look forward to reading your eBook! Once again, thank you so much!!!
Love this post! I was thinking about attending bloggy boot camp next time! this helps to encourage me! Love the vlog too! Your littles are adorable!

Bloggy Boot Camp was everything it promised and more! Maybe I’ll meet you there in the future! The vlog was on a whim and a little bold for me, but I’m so glad I did it! Hopefully I will find a way to get more vlogs out there! I can’t wait to find out how you have been staying on top of things with sticky notes, and what is a birchbox? I will check back on your blog to find out! 🙂
All I need to hear is “Free wine” and “awesome people” and I’m so there. Bloggy Boot Camp Vegas was such a blast. I walked away having learned so much and discovering some confidence desperately needed.
So glad you had a great time as well!
Kim-I LOVED your post and left a comment on your site telling you so. Thanks for reading here. I agree about walking away with some much needed confidence, now if only I could find some much needed time! 😉
{Melinda} Oh, I’m so jealous … would love to get to a Bloggy Boot Camp or other blogging conference, but haven’t made it yet. I’ve been to numerous speaking/writing conferences and LOVE them. I totally understand about the thrill of being part of a “tribe.” It’s very motivating and inspiring!
Visiting from Saturday Sharefest!
Thanks for the comment. It was such a wonderful experience and I highly suggest going to Bloggy Boot Camp if you every get the chance. Within the first hour I knew it was worth every penny and more!
I grew up eating dinner with my family at the table and Sunday dinner is still at my parents house, now with our spouses and kids! I agree that coming together as a family at dinner makes a family so much stronger. Thanks for sharing!
I love your top ten list! Congratulations on your first vlog! Your kids are adorable!
I loved hearing Danielle Smith talk at Bloggy Boot Camp. I got so much out of it! It struck a chord with me and my husband is a big fan of setting business hours.
I wish we met at BBC, but the good news is that you are in San Diego, so I’ll be seeing you around!
Laura, I’m so glad you left a comment! Thanks so much for the compliments! I think I would love doing more video, just not sure what to do them about yet! I’m still struggling with office hours, so much to do, so little time! You are in SD too?
Wow, I’m seeing lots of changes already. My new word for the day “VLOG.” Free wine sounds good I might have to join you two next year. Looking forward to hearing what you two learned. Love you!
It would be so great for you to come with us! We will have to start planning as soon as we hear about the next one! We got so much out of this and had such a good time too! Thanks for letting us stay at your condo, it was great! Love you!
Hurray for your first vlog! And who wouldn’t like to hear “do you want cake?” when coming home from a blogging conference? 🙂
Thanks Ginny! Hearing “Do you want cake?” always makes me happy! 😉
Free wine!!???!! Okay, I’m there next year. LOL! I’m just starting to get more focused on my blog so I look forward to boot camps and conferences in the new year. Thanks for visiting my fb page for blogtober – I followed you back here!
Renee, Thanks for following us back! Yes FREE wine and it was good! Bloggy Boot Camp was nothing but great and worth every penny and minute! Hope to meet you at a future conference!
I’m so glad you had a wonderful time at BBC – I love it for some of the very reasons you mentioned as well….. thank you for including the reference to my talk – I’m grateful. Excited to see where you go – and Love that you are embracing video (it’s my favorite!)
Thanks for reading Danielle! It means a lot to me, I think I’ve told you numerous times now, but you really spoke to “ME” and I really got what you were saying! I’m so happy to be a part of this amazing “tribe” that support each other! Oh and I can’t believe I forgot to add your link, but I fixed that! 🙂
