I’m sure you’re all aware of the Type-A Mom Conference.
So what makes this conference a must-attend? Type-A Mom is a unique conference that covers blogging topics such as finding your voice, utilizing social networking, increasing traffic and readership, branding, monetizing, working with brands, and discussing current relevant topics in the blogosphere. The popular “Speed Dating” networking session, Mom Market which showcases mom-made products, and the Blogger Town Hall Meeting are also hallmark features that will be present this year. Also new this year is the additional Friday sessions focusing on passions, practicalities, dad bloggers, and tribes (i.e. niches).
You’ve most likely seen the tweets announcing that all the details have been set for this conference, which takes place September 24-26th in Asheville, NC.
And you’ve probably also had the thought, “I really want to go, but how can I afford it?”
If this sounds like you, then you’ll be glad you came to visit Blog Conference Newbie today! I’m going to tell you about a couple of ways that you can save BIG on your ticket to the Type-A Mom Conference.
1. Currently, you can purchase your Type-A Mom Conference ticket for a fraction of the cost. Instead of paying $249, you’ll pay $149…saving you $100! But this Super Early Bird rate is only valid through 4/23, so act quickly. At the time this post was published, there were only 52 tickets left at this rate! (I even got mine yesterday to make sure I take advantage of the savings!).
2. Win a ticket! Another option is to enter to win a ticket to the Type-A Mom Conference. That’s right; Blog Conference Newbie is giving one lucky reader a conference ticket to help you make it to this fabulous conference. You all have been so supportive of this site that it’s time to give back and help you out!

I’m a Type A Mom because I think I can do it all–blog, keep my home, take care of my kids, tweet, cook, etc.–but it’s good to ask for help once in a while. I know I’ll learn a lot at the Type A Mom conference!

I am a Type-A-Mom because I make lists for EVERYTHING. On my “to-do” list on any given day is an item reminding me to do something that reminds me of something else. I set my iPhone alarm to remind me to bring the baby’s sippy cup to church. And STILL I walk into the kitchen, open the fridge, stand there for 5 minutes, then realize I was looking for my cell phone, which is not in the fridge (or, depending on the day, might be in there, after all). And I need my phone because it has my to-do list and reminders in it!! Were I NOT a Type-A-Mom, I would be rocking back and forth in a corner, going to my “happy place.”

I am a TypeAMom. I may not be the most organized or the most efficient mom. I may not cook gourmet meals. I may not have a nonexistent laundry pile. I may misplace a permission slip from time to time. I am not the classic TypeAMom, but…
…in my own way I am a TypeAMom. My kids are well-rounded. I provide extracurricular activities to enrich their learning. I sign my kids up for sports, take them to practice, practice with them at home, and cheer for them on the sidelines. I commiserate when a kid gets a bad grade if effort was made. I figure out why a grade is low if there are effort issues. I consult with teachers. I provide a loving home for my kids.
And I am a TypeAMom writer! I write about Preteens. I would dearly love to go to TypeAMom ’10, but I am a little cash poor right now. Having a hard time justifying expenses. Trying to find more ways to earn money. The conference was a highlight of 2009. Would really like to do a repeat for ’10.

The Type-A Mom is me – I am that mom who set up a blog for fun and enjoyment and is finding it even more enjoyable to actually be able to monetize it, increase my readership, and expand my reach – all while keeping my own voice!
