Help Me Attend Blog World Expo 2010

Posted on Sep 23, 2010 in Conferences & Networking |

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.
