In The Sphere: Blogging and Conferences

Some of the biggest names in the blogosphere converged in Las Vegas a short while back for Blog World Expo, including such Internet famous individuals as John Chow, Darren Rowse, and Wendy Piersall. Even though Blog World Expo is nowhere near as big as some other Las Vegas trade shows, it proved to be a great venue for networking and knowledge-building. For this reason, the focus of this week’s In The Sphere is on exactly that topic: blogging, conferences, and trade shows.

First off, we have Danielle Nagami. She decided to pop by the booth of Unique Blog Designs to catch a quick snapshot. Nate Whitehill was busy chatting it up, but Danielle managed to get quite the fantastic group shot. Do you know everyone in the picture?

But why would you want to attend conferences in the first place? Deborah Ng answers this very question with the appropriately named post Why you should attend conferences. There’s a lot to learn, many people to see, and it’s a great opportunity to extend your brand with real-world interactions!

Etienne Teo may not have been able to make it to Las Vegas, but he is still a respected blogger with a fair bit of knowledge about this blogging game. As such, he describes five protifable ways to recycle your blogging content. Why reinvent the wheel when you’ve already got a perfectly good wheel sitting there ready to be used?

Even though you may view your blog as a hobby, it is certainly worthwhile to get a proper business card for real-world interactions. Neil Patel highlights a number of creative business cards that will certainly grab your attention and make you look twice. Stick out from the crowd and get noticed.

It’s easy to point out some of the classiest hotels on the Las Vegas Strip, but even dot com mogul Jeremy Schoemaker has a reason to live off the beaten path. Instead of choosing the Wynn, Caesar’s Palace, or the Venetian, Shoemoney much prefers to stay at the Stratosphere. I don’t know. The Stratosphere just seems so far away from everything else.
