I’m not planning on attending any blogging related conferences this year. Being new to the pf blogosphere I’d like to be up and running for at least a year before I invest significant money into conferences and such.

@moneymatters I definitely hear you about the sponsors, and would like to pursue that more.  It would just be a shame if i could power through my to do list instead of the conference and get things done that I’ve put off for months.  There’s no telling whether I will get those things done, though, or not.
 
Also I’m not sure if you’ve met him, but there is some PF blogger in Minnesota who has years of experience and has done meetups here that have been incredibly valuable.  He’s had a few years of success under his belt and has a lot of good info to share.  Maybe you’ve met him? Haha ;)

@Beachbudget I wish I could meet you and everyone else as well!  I hope that everyone is still blogging in 2014 (assuming I pass this year) since if I’m still blogging then I will definitely want to meet everyone and hopefully will be making more revenue and looking to get connected with more sponsors.

@JustinatTheFrugalPath I actually am in the same boat where I am much better at networking online than I am in person.  Networking in person is tiring for me (even worse is the phone!) so I can definitely appreciate your viewpoint.

@Eyesonthedollar I think it’s great you are going to FINCON and I definitely think it’s always good to re-evaluate whether to continue a project or not.  I’m not sure if you used to read Veronica at Blue Pelican loans, but it looks like she decided at the beginning of the new year that it just wasn’t worth the time investment.  It’s always best to only continue a money-making venture if it’s a good use of your time.

That is the only kind of conference I’ve ever really attended. Usually, it gets you pumped up again to do your job, which can get boring at times. I am going to try FINCON this year to see what direction I want to go with the blog. It will be right after the one year mark, which I think is make or break on whether I continue with it or not.
