How soon is too soon to start attending conferences and events?
I have a 2 month old travel blog that I have been working very hard to establish. What I am trying to figure out is how soon is too soon to start attending travel events and conferences?Will it be a boost to my blog at this point, or will it be a relative waste of time? Is it too soon to start networking and making contacts? What do you think?Have any of you attended any conferences or events, and what was your experience?Thanks so much for your input,Shanna…See More
