About this project
Tribal Blogs, Professional Blog Network is gearing up for its very first blog conference June 24 – 25, 2011 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Bloomington, Minnesota. Tribal Blogs is made up of writers – humor writers, more often than not – who don’t necessarily fit into a particular niche. Founded on the philosophy "It takes a village to raise a blog", writers connect, network, share information, ask and answer questions, and offer support to other bloggers. A nearly even balance of men and women members provides well-rounded viewpoints, experiences and insights. Tribal Blogs is open to any type of writer, and non-members are encouraged to participate in the conference.
The
conference is focusing on helping writers promote themselves through a blog and
helping bloggers go from blog to book. Experienced, knowledgeable speakers have
already been lined up, and will present tangible and detailed information on
the subjects that matter to writers and bloggers.
Topics will include:
· Self-publishing
· Freelance writing
· Finding an audience
· Search Engine Optimization
· Branding
· Marketing
· Social
Networking
Some of the special guest speakers include representatives from Beaver's Pond Press, Hillcrest Media, Margaret Andrews, freelance writer and author of Nanny Goats In Panties, Kathy Frederick, author of The Junk Drawer, and Jen Emmert of the Prior Fat Girl blog.
While
conference fees will be covering a large portion of the costs, our goal is to
provide an affordable learning experience to as many writers as possible. This
means not all the costs are being covered by registration. Our objective is to
fulfill the remaining cost obligations, as well as sponsor several deserving,
struggling writers. We've set the funding limit low because this is an all or nothing funding method but the more we raise the more writers we can support.

Jennifer Brown is the founder and driving force behind Tribal Blogs, Professional Blog Network (www.tribalblogs.net). Jennifer, a single mother of 2 children, began blogging nearly 5 years ago. With no “Blogging For Dummies” available, Jennifer learned the ins and outs of online writing through trial and error, honing her skills and finding her audience. Along the way, she made some friends and realized so many writers were struggling to find credible information, the same as she had. A former business owner, Jennifer created Tribal Blogs to help writers learn how to market their blogs for their books, to provide a forum for them to ask and answer questions, to have a voice. Although she is the author of several blogs, www.redheadranting.com is her principal outlet. A smart, funny site, Redheadranting clearly demonstrates a love of writing, the English language, and warm weather! She has currently completed her first novel “Dancing Skeletons”.
