Blogging for the Masses with Blogging Expert Bill Belew

March 30th, 2012 Lynne.Leite

Bill Belew aka The Traffic Professor

Anybody can blog. If you can write an email, you can blog. However, people who want to be read are the ones who should blog. People who have a product or service they want to offer should blog. People who need a platform where others can find them should blog. Bill Belew

Whether you are an experienced writer or an aspiring one, you need a blog. Julie & Julia and One Thousand Gifts are two bestselling books with very different themes but they do have something in common; both authors, Julie Powell and Amy Voskamp, were able to translate successful blogs into bestselling books.  So if you have ever thought about blogging as a way to grow your writing career, then you do not want to miss this year’s all day interactive workshop on blogging at the OC Christian Writers Conference.

Led by blogging expert Bill Belew, aka The Traffic Professor, the workshop entitled, “Blogging for the Masses” will be held on Friday, May 18th from 8:30am to 4:30pm.  Bill is a published author and has 10 different blogs that have each generated over one million unique visitors.  In addition to blogging, which earns enough revenue to cover his sizable mortgage, Bill speaks around the world teaching others how to be successful bloggers.  The workshop will be a hands-on experience for attendees who will leave with a fully functioning blog.

At the workshop Bill will reveal:

  • The real potential that exists for the diligent blogger/writer
  • The personality of the successful blogger
  • The obstacles to getting a blog up and running as well as the solutions
  • Why a blog or other dynamic web site is the clear platform of choice for writers
  • The key elements of a search engine and reader-friendly post/article
  • The timeless absolutes for a successful blog that will  attract tons of readers and earn real income at the same time

Here’s what others have said about Bill’s workshops:

“The presentation was fabulous. Bill was engaging, interesting and passionate. I learned a ton and look forward to hearing more.”

“When I met Bill Belew I could barely spell BLOG, but with his help my blog has gone from a vague dream to one of the top 1% of blogs world-wide. I cannot recommend Bill highly enough for technical and inspirational guidance.”

“Let’s just say that after attending two lectures from Bill Belew, this one for the second time (I lost my notes from the first one), I am now a die hard Bill Belew groupie!!! When Bill Belew speaks, I take good notes, and I suggest you do too!”

This workshop is a must for any writer wanting to build their platform but don’t wait to sign up – the class is limited to only 10 participants.

Ken Kuhlken writes about crime and other sorts of mysteries.
Ken writes about all kinds of love and about California, north, south and baja…about cars, curses, babies and about fame, fortune and failure.
He writes about the famous, the overlooked and the forgotten.
He even writes about God, joy and (sigh) money.

Ken Kuhlken will be doing double duty at this year’s OC Christian Writers Conference to be held on May 18-20 In Newport Beach, California. On Saturday, Mr. Kuhlken will share his inspiration and insights with conference attendees during his keynote speech entitled, Writing and the Spirit.  In addition to his keynote, Ken will be spending Friday leading a small group of 10 participants in an all-day, intensive workshop on fiction writing.

A prolific fiction writer, Ken’s stories have appeared in such well-known publications as Esquire Magazine and his work has garnered numerous awards.  Participants in the fiction writing workshop will receive hands on instruction on such techniques as constructing effective scenes, dialogue and use of narrative and voice.  Intermediate to advanced writers who have a novel in progress would best benefit from this workshop.

Here’s what other writers have said about Ken Kuhlken’s writing:

“Elegant, eloquent, and elegiac, Kuhlken’s novels sing an old melody, at the same time haunting and beautiful.” Don Winslow, author of The Winter of Frankie Machine
