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 know I have lots of soon to be followers out there, *sings*:I just haven’t met you yet.

I want to go to Type A Mom because I heard really good things about it this year, and I like that is it fairly small. And because the Unexperienced Mom will be there!!!!!!!!!!! Whoot! Whoot!
Following via GFC!
I’m a type A mom because I’m not type B or C even my blood is type A! LOL. Kidding aside, I’m a Type A mom because I defy the norm and I’m always open to new possibilities and welcome challenges that helps me enhance what talents and skills I already have

Just want to say Thank you for doing this! I live about 2 hours away from Asheville but never been to this conference. It would be a great chance to experience a conference right in the “neighborhood”!

First of all, I am not a mom but want to go to the conference to find out how to put more zest into my blog. I feel the conference can teach me the do’s and dont’s of blogging.

I want to go to the conference for a few reasons: 1) I want to meet all my blogging, tweeting friends in person (including you!) <—- that is totally not sucking up
2) I want to learn a lot more than I know about blogging and all of the business aspects that go along with it 3) I want a vacation from everyday life for a few days that I can't really afford 
Love my family. Love my job. But I don't get much time to not be a working mommy who takes care of my house.
As for the other half of the question, I'm type-a because I work hard, have to do everything to perfection, and push myself to be the best "me" I can be

I also like the idea of a smaller conference and have loved what I’ve learned so far from Kelby and look forward to what she’s put together for us!

I need this because I am more Type A about everything in my life than anyone I know (hey, I’m already checking and freaking out that my comment about following you isn’t showing up), but the blogging thing? Yeah, I need help in this area to get properly up to par.

I would love to attend Type-A-Mom because I think Kelby Carr is an invaluable resource and I heard amazing things about last year’s conference! I also love that families are encouraged to come along. That would make it much easier!

I believe I am a Type A Mom because of the way I order everything in my life. Including, but not limited to, my children, my home, my blog, my office, my email…down to the last detail. I like organization and details.
I think a smaller conference might be a great jumpstart for a newbie like me, and I am interested in learning more from the amazing moms out there that are making it work for them.
I’m subscribed by email.
I want to attend Type-A-Mom to connect with other bloggers, and learn how to improve my blog. A smaller conference appeals to me, because it seems like it would allow for more interaction between everyone.
