Lifestyle, food and drink, and our family life and travel adventures.
Basically, before 2020 hit, blogging was huge; it was slowly starting to fizzle out, but basically, during the 2010 era, blogging was super lucrative, and it seemed as if everyone had a blog. When it came to all of these blogs, there were so many different types of content coming out, like the Blogger Genius Toolkit, YouTube channels for blogging, Instagram profiles all about it, courses, Facebook groups, ebooks, and the list could keep going on and on.
So, with that said, something else that was major was bloggers of various niches would have conferences and trade shows to stay in the loop with one another. Honestly, back then, one of the biggest blogger mistakes was probably not attending these conferences.
But are they still relevant today? If you go to all of these booth exhibits, could it actually help make a difference with your blog/ business? Can you actually boost your brand by still going to these? Honestly, yes! These have not died out, and blogging is still pretty important! So, here’s exactly why conferences are still relevant for bloggers here in 2024!
One of the most significant benefits of attending conferences and trade shows is the opportunity to network with fellow bloggers, industry professionals, and brands. If you really think about it, building relationships in person allows for more meaningful connections than online interactions alone. Whether you’re seeking collaborations, mentorship, or simply like-minded individuals to bounce ideas off of, conferences provide a fertile ground for expanding your network and forming valuable connections that can propel your blogging career forward.
While yes, you can look into these online, you’re going to have waves upon waves of information just by going to these. Just think about it for a moment; you’ll get some great insight from keynote presentations, panel discussions, workshops, and so on. These events provide a platform for experts to share their expertise and insights.
Just by attending sessions and engaging with speakers, you can gain valuable insights into emerging trends, strategies for success, and innovative approaches to content creation, helping you stay ahead of the curve in a rapidly evolving landscape. If you have competition, then going to these will essentially be a tool to really blow them out of the way!
Blogging can sometimes feel like a solitary pursuit (especially nowadays, with other forms of content creation being more prevalent), but attending conferences and trade shows allows you to connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion for content creation. Surrounding yourself with fellow bloggers and industry professionals can reignite your creativity, inspire new ideas, and motivate you to push the boundaries of your craft.
You can usually expect this giant push for inspiration to come from engaging conversations, meeting fabulous bloggers (maybe some you look up to), keynote speeches, and, of course, just simply observing others. But these are truly fabulous sources for fueling your blogging journey.
