This past weekend I had the pleasure of learning from some very successful, creative, and inspiring people at SNAP blogger conference. I learned a lot of great hands-on technical blogging information, but some of the best things I learned this weekend were nuggets of wisdom that I like to call quotables. Here are a few of my favorites (some of these may be slightly paraphrased):

David Tutera
- Don’t just be trend-forward, teach people how to do something
- Be an expert in something; be specific in what you blog about
- Let your confidence and light shine through in your writing
- Make things more personal; make people fall in love with YOU
Desiree from The 36th Avenue
- Know your blog; know your partners; know your readers; know yourself
- It’s all about good content, not numbers
- Each page view is a human being you need to build a relationship with
- Be the type of person you’d like to meet
- The only person you should be better than is the person you were yesterday

Heidi Swapp (Um, yeah. Can you tell I needed to hear what she said?)
- Makers are: doers, dreamers, movers/shakers, willing to try new things
- Makers make things happen; makers make dreams; makers make the most of each day
- Recharge your battery every day; if your bucket is empty you have nothing to share
- It’s supposed to be hard!
- Pick a Top 5 for each day–set realistic attainable goals
- Notice the good
- Stop the blur–write down one memory from each day
- Be the best version of YOU
- What you have to offer is what the people you influence need to hear
- The people in your own home need your talents more than anyone else
I’m really grateful for such an inspiring experience! Now to put it all into practice. 😉
Such inspiring speakers! What a great opportunity for you!
