Women at work and their tips, challenges, advice, complaints, and experiences

Hey you!  Pssst.  Pssst!  Look over to the sidebar there.  See that really neat logo for the Blogworld & New Media Expo?  Click on it.  You get a 25% discount for pre-registering.  And it's in Vegas.  What happens in Vegas and all that, right?

Obviously if you're a blogger, vlogger, podcaster, or producer of any sort of new media you'll want to be there.  Not any of the above?  Doesn't matter.  You Workerettes are coming here because you're working women.  Movers and shakers.  Business owners and women in business.  Entrepreneurs, writers, folks who market to women in business - you know your stuff.  That's why you need to be at there come November 8th and 9th!

Not convinced yet by my pom-pom waving and hooahs?  Okay, in all seriousness, there are some excellent reasons to attend this fantastic event, and it's not just because you can get a special rate if you pre-register by October 19th. 

You should attend the Blogworld and New Media Expo because:

• More than 50 million Americans read blogs - that is ONLY the Americans, folks!
• 22% of the 100 most popular websites out there are - you guessed it - blogs.
• Blog readers shop online and spend a lot of time online in general: 20+ hours a week!
• If you are affiliated with business at all, it's time to understand exactly how much potential traffic a well-written blog can add to your company's website.  You deserve to know the ins and outs of blogging, advertising on blogs, marketing to bloggers (and their readers), how to use a blog to recruit potential employees (and how to find their blogs so you can decide whether to keep or cull their resume) - the works.

Let's face it, the blogosphere is a powerful place with loads of options for business people.  With a blog, you can get the buzz going about your brand, you can market yourself, you can create a pathway to your clients, customers, or colleagues that is viable, flexible, professional, and fun - all in one. 

Oh, enough excuses.  Tell the travel personnel to book your ticket and get packing.  Maybe I'll make it there and we can meet up at the Know More Media booth.  They are not just the folks bringing you Workerette.com and a bunch of other fantastic blogs.  They're one of the exhibitors, media partners, and sponsors of Blogworld.  And they love Pez - but then, who doesn't? 

Will I see you there?
