I’m on my knees, people! I’m looking to raise some funds so I can attend Blog World Expo & New Media Conference this year October 14-16 in Las Vegas. It was highly valuable for me when I went in 2008, and a lot has changed since then! I’d love to go get an update on some of the trends in blogging. But I can’t do it alone. I’ve determined that I can easily cover the flight to Las Vegas to attend, but I can’t cover the $500 registration fee and the $500 it’ll take to stay in Las Vegas for the duration. So that’s where you come in.
A friend of mine clued me in today on a little thing called ChipIn. ChipIn allows anyone to raise money towards any endeavor so long as they have a PayPal address. This is excellent for charities, schools, community organizations, or poor bloggers like me to ask for donations! So my goal is to raise $1000 (or as close as possible) by 10/8/10 so I can register before the show possibly sells out. Below is my widget, and I’d be eternally grateful if you chipped in a few bucks towards my goal.
What do you get out of this, you ask? I’ll tell you!
- Better content from me on TrishaLyn.com
- Notes from all the great sessions I attend.
- A plethora of photos from the event.
- New tools you can use on your WordPress powered blogs and websites.
- A faster, more efficient TrishaLyn.com since I’ll be looking to switch hosting providers.
- My eternal gratitude and gratuitous public thank yous with links to your company or personal website on my Twitter stream, Facebook page, this blog, etc.
