Pro Blogger will be co-hosting #Blogchat Sun nite!

This Sunday nite, I’m thrilled that @ProBlogger (Darren Rowse) will be joining us to co-host #Blogchat at 8pm Central.  Darren’s topic will be helping us learn how to monetize our blogs, and the schedule will break down like this:

From 8:00-8:30 PM Central – How to create blog content that can be monetized.  We’ll talk about how you decide what to sell (ads on your blog?  sponsored posts?), and whats your strategy for creating this content.  So if you’ve got questions about deciding what type of content to try to sell, this is when we’ll be discussing it.

From 8:30-9:00 PM Central – We’ll talk about ideas for selling existing content, such as, how do you create an ebook from existing posts, or repurposing existing content in new forms in order to sell it.  So if this is more what you are interested in, make sure you get your questions in here.

Darren will stay as long as he can, but as you can imagine, this #Blogchat should be extremely busy, and could be our most active ever.  So Darren will get to as many questions as he can, but won’t be able to get to everyone’s questions.  So my advice is if Darren doesn’t answer your question the 1st time you ask it, to try again after 9pm,  when the crowd thins out a bit.

And please make sure you are following Darren on Twitter, and subscribed to his blog, if you aren’t already.

Hope to see you all on Sunday nite!

#Blogchat Schedule for November

New to #Blogchat and want to figure out what the deal is with the hottest chat on Twitter?  Then click here.

After a stellar October lineup we’re going to start November off with a bang with another awesome co-host!

November 7th – Darren Rowse (@ProBlogger) co-hosting on “How to Monetize Your Blog”.  Darren will discuss ways we can monetize our blogging efforts, and also give us ideas for creating content that can be monetized.  The topic of ‘how do I make money off my blog?’ is one that #Blogchat regulars have constantly asked about, and I wanted to make sure we could get Darren to co-host this topic, as he’s probably the best person on the planet to help us in this area!  There will be a followup post here on Friday with more information about Darren’s session this Sunday, so please check back for that!

November 14th – Sponsored #Blogchat.  The second #Blogchat for this month will be reserved for sponsors, however, if a suitable one hasn’t been found by the 8th (Next Monday), then well have a ‘normal’ #Blogchat.  So if your company wants to pitch for sponsoring this slot, please email me with your topic ideas ASAP.  If you want to learn more about how the #Blogchat sponsorships work, click here.

November 21st – Topic TBA

November 28th – OPEN MIC #Blogchat! There still seems to be a bit of confusion from some people, especially those new to #Blogchat, over exactly what the OPEN MIC nites are about.  The last Sunday of every month is an OPEN MIC #Blogchat.  What that means is that there is NO set topic.  Everyone comes and discusses whatever blogging topic they want.  It sounds like it would be complete chaos, but it’s actually a lot of fun, and these are probably the most popular #Blogchats over the last 20 months.  So if you keep pitching a certain topic for #Blogchat that we aren’t covering, then come to OPEN MIC and get a conversation started around this topic!

Finally, if you aren’t already, please follow me on Twitter.  As the topics for the 2nd and 3rd weeks are set, I’ll be tweeting information out on those weeks, plus I always share links to the transcripts and other info about #Blogchat.  Hope to see you this Sunday!
