Getting ready for the Cambridge Business Mums

I am getting really excited as I am off to Cambridge this weekend to enjoy the Cambridge Business Mums Conference and meet up with some friends and networking colleagues and listen to some fabulous speakers. 

Today I made up some 10 gram chocolate bars advertising my new business the Mums Business Directory which I will be launching soon. So if you are coming along to the conference I hope you enjoy the sweet treat you will find inside your goody bag!

I'm also managing to hide my husband in my suitcase and we are going to spend a couple of nights without the children and even fit in a film and a pre Valentines night meal out!

I started blogging for my chocolate business nearly 2 years ago. 

I thought it would help my regular chocolate newsletters I send out and allow me to be less formal and blog about my chocolate business and  some personal stuff at the the same time!

I always have a lot to say but I'm self taught and have been wanting to find out how to blog properly for my new business I am launching soon...

Do check back here again as no doubt I will unveil it here first!  

Having a blog and embracing the blogging community is a good place to start.

 I have met some wonderful blogging friends particularly at the CyberMummy 2010 conference last year and yes I will be going to CyberMummy 2011 in June

So recently just before Christmas I found Erica's blog at Little Mummy and signed up for her FREE blogging course. Erica has been blogging for 5 years and is very clever and makes money on her blog using her own sponsors just for blogging!

 

She sends me an email once a week I haven't finished the course yet but 

I am really impressed... the information she has included has been excellent, clear, concise and easy to follow. 

So if you are thinking of starting a blog, or you a seasoned blogger or want to start one for your own business but need a few new tips to sharpen things up?  do sign up for her FREE course via email  you have nothing to lose.

Erica has kindly offered to send me a copy of her ebook The Mum Blogger in return for my post and I can't wait to read it.
