Hundreds of plus-size fashion stores and more Ultimate Plus-Size Shopping List!

If you missed it last night I had the pleasure and privilege of being involved in the 1st ever Plus Size Business Tele-Summit. The goal of the telesummit is to give those looking to start a business in the plus size industry some insight into what it takes to transform a full time hobby into a serious business.

My part in the series that will spread out over the next month was to explain some of the ins and outs of being a full-time or professional blogger.  Topics included the look and feel of a blog, free versus paid web hosting, overall commitment to your blog, traffic, and voice.

I must say when I was preparing for the call I had no idea that there were so many people out there hungry for information to get their blogs up and running.  Though I do not consider myself an expert in all of the technical aspects of running a blog  I have learned a lot over the years and it felt great being able to share that knowledge with others.

Kimmoy did a great job of keeping me on point, because I have a tendency to ramble.  She was an outstanding moderator and did an excellent job of putting my industry lingo into words that could be understood by  by callers from as far away as Toronto, Canada!  The caller questions were great covering many different aspects of blogging and finding your inner blogging “voice”.  The call lasted for over an hour and let me tell you I was worn out, but I had a great time and would do it all over again knowing that I was helping someone fulfill their dream of breaking into the plus size blogging industry.

Don’t quote me, but I think there will be a recording of the tele-summit calls available soon which means you have no excuse not to be a part of this ground breaking series specially tailored for plus size business owners.

The line up for the rest of the tele-summit calls can be found here.  I encourage everyone to sign up for these calls.  The information that has and will be shared goes for thousands of dollars in some circles.  The call is free the information is priceless.  As I stated on the call if you have any question feel free to drop me an email via the contact form on this blog.  I will answer any and all questions to the best of my ability.  Thanks again Kimmoy for letting me speak!
