My #iBlog11 2-Day Blogging Summit Experience

Thursday, December 10, 2015



It was my first time attending a iBlog Blogging Summit and I am literally so blessed with the experienced. For the longest time I've been praying for a legit workshop/conference that I could attend to and will enhance my knowledge. 

And not only have I found the perfect conference for me, as a matter of fact it is two days and it's free.
