Upcoming events:
Sept. 27 -- PublicSource: Business of the Blog
WPC and Press Club of Western Pennsylvania are community partners for this event with PublicSource:
The blogosphere in the Pittsburgh region is alive and well, but so often bloggers are siloed, working alone with little direction. It can be difficult to even start writing, let alone gain an audience and earn money from the effort. This event, hosted by PublicSource, is designed for current and aspiring bloggers who want to learn of strategies to increase their blog’s reach and profitability. The event will feature three local bloggers who have found success in this area and want to share actionable tips with you.
Attendees will have a chance to network with other bloggers/writers over refreshments and ask questions of the speakers. The $5 ticket includes a drink on us (cash bar after that), snacks and an insightful evening: Register here.
