Alabama Blogger Meet-Up September 6!

After a short summer break, it's time to get back together to talk about blogging!

Our next Alabama Blogger meet-up will be on September 6 at 11:30 at Railroad Park.  Feel free to bring your own lunch, or take advantage of George's Boxcar Cafe like I will be doing. There is covered seating, so we will meet regardless of the weather unless James Spann is telling us to go to our safe place.

Everyone is invited, so please spread the word! The hashtag for the event is #AlaBlogMeet.

We will have a roundtable discussion on how to strategically use Social Media Tools to promote your blog effectively yet without being pushy. Platforms that we will discuss include Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and more, so be thinking about how you use them and questions that you might have on using them more effectively.

Please RSVP on this post or on the invite in the Alabama Bloggers Facebook Group. And if you're not a member yet, be sure to request it!
