What I Learnt At Britmums Live 2015

It seems like so long ago since I attended Britmums Live 2015 thanks to my wonderful sponsor MAM UK. I wrote about my experience of Britmums Live soon after the event and I came away with a notebook full of tips and a head full of ideas on how to improve this little blog of mine.

The sessions I attended were Google +, Social media, Bloggers and brands, Beginners SEO and Photo styling. So this will be a quick rundown of little things I learnt in each of those sessions.

How To Grow Your Pinterest Account And Get More Blog Traffic

AD - I attended an event by Pinterest. 

I love Pinterest and could happily spend hours looking at amazing cakes or children's bedroom decor, but I don't really use it to promote my blog. I am also guilty of going on once every so often pinning tons of pretty things then neglecting my account for weeks at a time. 

So when I heard that Pinterest UK was holding an event for bloggers in Newcastle at the biscuit factory, I knew I had to attend and find out how Pinterest actually works. The event was held by Lizzie who works for Pinterest UK and this is what I learnt.

Introducing My Britmums Live 2015 Sponsor

AD

In two weeks time I will be off to London to attend Britmums Live which is a two-day blogging and social media event. It will be my very first time attending any kind of blogging event and is a bit out of my comfort zone, but I know that I will learn a lot, which will hopefully in turn help me to improve and grow my blog in the future. 

And it is thanks to my amazing sponsor that I am able to attend this event.  I am so pleased to announce that my sponsor is MAM UK. A brand that I am sure will need no introduction as I bet all parents and parents-to-be are aware of the brilliant baby and toddler products they make.

Why Write A Blog?

Hello I am Lindsay, just an average mam from Newcastle. I have two daughters and I am currently pregnant with baby number three. I am currently on maternity leave from my job as a learning disability support worker - a very challenging but rewarding job. I will be honest and say that I am a little bored being home all day on maternity leave so thought I would give blogging a go. 

By chance I came across blogging, someone I know has a family blog (Sam from North East Family Fun) and I always thought it was a nice idea to have a record of places you have been, I have even visited a couple of places recommended on the blog. Then by chance one day on twitter I came across lots of other family related blogs and I started to think maybe it was something I would like to do one day.
