Join me as I a joined in this session where I chat to friends and colleagues about how to get started blogging and choosing your platform. We cover off the reasons why we all blog, the benefits we’ve found from doing so. Choosing the right blogging platform can also be a big challenge for anyone starting out and we share our thoughts on our blogging platform choices and why we’ve went with them.
Sharing our success stories and thoughts from our years of experience in this fun session!
