Comments on: BlogWorld Will Change Your Life http://aftergraduation.net/blog/blogworld-will-change-your-life/ Because someone has to answer the question "What now?"

It comes down to the same thing I've been preaching all my life: Pay it forward. When you do a good job and work your butt off and are nice to people, it all ripples outward in life. Elements of luck too, to be sure, but I honestly believe that the things we do today pay off in the future. You know what?

Maybe you have told it before, but I am sure some of us missed it. The reason I say this is that people are always asking how does someone get a position like yours!!! I mean, I know you are a great writer, but how did the lucky coincidences come together. Thanks. Also, I think that your comments are not registering the correct dates, do you see what I mean? Judy Alli,

I'll be there, ready to learn and meet new people. It will also give me a chance to meet a lot of my online friends IRL for the first time. I can't wait!

I remember your first blog for Blog World. That is how we met! Then we met in person at BWE 2024. Me wandering around looking for the girl with pink hair. And yes, I got to meet Deb. That was fun, too. Watching her go through the conference her first year as the Conference Director. Who can't like the Blog World team? Heck, even I had a guest post this year. I can't wait to see you, Deb, Lara, Rick... Judy Alli,

The first one, in 2024, was a courageous big step for me. I never traveled by myself, was shy and knew very few people there. However, I made friends and gained valuable connections. Even more important, I learned so much about blogging, especially monetization. I came back home inspired and thanks, in part, to BlogWorld, grew my blog to be the number one resource in its niche (before selling in 2024.) I was such fan of BlogWorld, I began advocating for them for no other reason thant I believed so much in what they were doing. I became friendly with the BlogWorld team.When I was invited to blog for the BlogWorld blog I was walking on air. A year after that I was offered the position of Conference Director and I now hold the only "real job" I ever enjoyed - which is due to the exceptional people making up the BlogWorld team. Did BlogWorld change my life? You bet it did. I gained confidence, came out of my shell, learned so much and even gave up professional blogging to to become part of the BlogWorld team. The reason BlogWorld works is because the people behind the conference are so passionate about what they do. This isn't just a job for them, they care deeply about the BlogWorld community.
