Free Hour Long Call with Andy Wibbels on Blogs and Social Media

Posted: 05 Oct 2009 03:03 AM PDT

Long term readers of ProBlogger will know of Andy Wibbels - the two of us put together a course a couple of years back called Six Figure Blogging - one of the best learning experiences of my life.

Funnily enough we’d never met until this time last year at Blog World Expo but it felt like I knew him really well as we’d spent so much time together.

Andy went on to work at SixApart (makers of TypePad and MovableType - among other products), he’s the author of one of the first blogging books ‘Blog Wild’ and he has a wealth of knowledge in the space of blogging.

Andy’s about to run another course called Blogs and Social Media for Instant Global Impact and is offering a free one hour call on the topic. The call is on Wednesday for those who register (there will be a recording for those who can’t make the live call). I’ll be listening in myself because Andy’s got a habit of packing his calls with useful stuff.

I didn't get much satisfaction from it because I was always thinking of the business name and my business partner and I was representing all three. I was holding back and wasn't being true to myself or my personal opinions, I was playing it safe.

However I was enjoying the writing or blogging process and believed in what I was doing so I thought "I need to be 100% myself, I need a title."

It's like when you call a business do you like to talk to a machine or a person?

A person of course,

The exact same goes when you're blogging and with that Bra Queen was born. I soon become more at home at my blog then at my business so I sold my business to pursue Bra Queen.

Once I gave myself freedom to be… Bra Queen Sky rocketed, I became so passionate with my writing and the topics. I was like a mad woman frantically typing at the keyboard and 80% of the time I was doing so through tears because I felt so strongly about the topics.

I write everyday because you have to be consistent but I vow to write honestly and passionately, everyday.

I look at blogs that I once loved however when they started blogging everyday I felt they lost their passion and drive. You can always tell just by reading them. I really try to just let myself be when I write.

The beauty of blogging is it gives people a chance to express themselves. You have a voice and you can be 100% you and people will either like you or they won't, their choice. But at least you have given yourself permission to be.

I have learnt that in order to have a successful blog you have to be:
