Business Blogging Seminars

• “I know all about blogs, but there’s no way I’ll ever convince my boss our company should be blogging.”
• “Yeah, I read blogs sometimes, but nobody actually uses them for business, do they?”
• “We know we need to be blogging, but it’s hard to figure out where to even start.”

I’ve worked at Six Apart for a few years now, so I get to hear sentiments like these every single day. If you’re reading this, you already know about the potential of blogging. But getting a company to start blogging can be a tough job. We’ve created our new series of Business Blogging Seminars to help solve the problem.

We think it’s important to bring blogging to real businesses, the kinds full of people who just want to make their day at work easier, or who want to help their company grow. So we’re coming to see you.

We’re visiting major cities all over the United States to explain the real, practical benefits of business blogs, along with advice on how to get started. We might mention things like Ajax or RSS or podcasting, but if you’re looking to skip an afternoon of work to hang out with people talking about tech toys, don’t bother. This is real productive advice for professionals who value their time.

You’ll walk out of the seminar with some straightforward benefits:

• A solid understanding of the different ways you can use blogging.
• Real-world case studies of how other companies in your line of business save time and money using blogs.
• Simple, effective tips on how to make the case for blogging to your coworkers, team, or management.
• All the resources you need to start a trial deployment of a business blog.
• Introductions to peers and experts in the community who can help share ideas or provide assistance.

We’ll be joined by expert speakers in every city, focusing on particular industries that have the most to gain from blogging. Our agenda includes Washington D.C., Detroit, Boston, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, and Miami. Early registration is discounted 50%, to just $75.

So get moving: It all starts in two weeks in Washington, DC (early registration for the D.C. event ends today!) and we’ve sold out at every seminar in the past, so you’ll want to sign up as soon as possible. Just fill out the registration form to get started.
