The Florida Blogger & Social Media Conference (FLBlogCon) began in 2011 and was an instant success.
(The conference used to the Central Florida Blogger & Social Media Conference, or CFLBlogCon, but dropped the “Central” this year.)
I attended the conference in its inaugural year and was so impressed. At last year’s conference, I left with tons of notes and can honestly say that it was the most educational blogging conference I have ever attended.
I detailed a bunch of my takeaways in my conference recaps which you can see below:
The conference addresses blog growth, search engine optimization, growing your presence in social media, making money through blogging, marketing your blog and more. There’s so much to learn!

I’m interested. I started a blog a year and a half ago, but I would like to start posting more frequently on it, and making better use of it. I think this conference would be extremely beneficial. Safe travels 🙂
I’d love to learn how to begin blogging professionally and regularly and increasing the number os readers I have.
I would like to learn about organizing my blog better, keeping it focused, and increasing readership.
I’d love to learn about the professional and business side of blogging. From reading your experiences, there is so much legwork with privacy and finances that are way beyond my realm of knowledge. I think that would be very beneficial for any journalist or writer, since our main focus during school is developing our writing techniques.
I’d like to learn more about blog organization. I blog infrequently right now, but haven’t ruled out the possibility of becoming a more regular blogger in the future so any insights I can tuck away would be helpful!
I would love to learn about growing my blog and advertising on my blog! 🙂 Have fun on vacation.
Social media for advertising! and using pictures!
I would love to learn more about search engine optimization and how to use it more effectively. I used to live in Ocala myself and also worked as a personal trainer while we lived there! I’m living in Jax now and love reading PBF. Thanks, Julie!
I’d love to learn how to increase my readership and how to better work with companies!
I went last year and loved it! This year I’d love to learn about how to switch my blog over to wordpress and maybe how to convert it into more of a website.
As someone who has worked on the re-branding and re-launch of an Orlando events blog, I’m looking for ways to collaborate with other blogs in the area- be they fashion, restaurant/foodies, music, etc. We focus on quirky events <$20 and have had a great response, but we need to harness that into building a group of cooperative bloggers that elevate/cross-promote, and interact.
I can't wait for the conference! (www.theORLANDOAN.com, facebook.com/theorlandoan)
I’d love to look for multiple ways to make money with my blog. I’d also like to SEO demystified. Time to go to the next level!
Started my blog almost three years ago and I’m still toying with self-hosting. I’m want to know how I can take my blog to the next level with giveaways and becoming a brand ambassador. This month, I became a brand ambassador for Earth Fare. I want to fully optimize that opportunity to give them the exposure they deserve while getting exposure myself. Plus, Florida has some pretty awesome bloggers, especially health bloggers! I want to connect with them as well!
I’d like to meet other bloggers and find out ways they overcame thier challenges.
I would like to learn how to make money with my blog.

Let’s see what would I most like to learn about…probably just increasing reader comments, so I can interact with them.
I’d love to learn about ways to drive traffic/readers to my blog! Great giveaway, thanks!! 🙂
I’m trying to do a lot more photography (food and nature) so a good class for beginners using DSLR would be great.
I’d like to learn about different ways of earning income without having the site cluttered with ads.
I’d love to learn about increasing readership for my blog.
How to make taboo topics acceptable for the general public to read and make money from them.
I would like to learn some tricks on increasing readership. I’d love to draw more readers to my blog and haven’t quite figured out how. Can’t wait to go to the conference again this year! 🙂
Thanks for helping promote and share! I can’t wait to see all the great submissions and new things for this year. It’s only getting better and better. Maybe everyone will see a Widget and Gadget Take 2!
I would love to win. I write columns and reviews for 2 different blog and I have a small personal blog. That would be a great opportunity!
I’d love to go this year since I missed last year. I learned a ton the first year I went, looking forward to this year’s conference to learn more about blogging overall, social media efforts & networking.
I would like to learn ways to make money with my blog! e
I graduated from Full Sail University last year and have now made social media my career. I would love learn how to learn how to increase my friends/follower and interact with them on the restaurant pages that I manage. I know how to post but I want to get everyone’s attention when I do!!
I LOVED attending last year and would love to attend again this year. I think this year I would like to attend a session relating to how to vary/improve my content to keep increasing my followers!
I would love to learn more about monetizing.
I would love to learn more about using my blog to bring social awareness to heart disease in young women!
I have been looking for a Blogging Conference in the Central Florida area and I am so excited about this! I am a new blogger and really enjoy it and would love to learn anything and everything about creating a successful and influential blog. It would be great to win entry to the conference, but either way I am really looking forward to it!
Oh my, I would love to learn more about becoming self hosted and marketing my blog. Still very confused on how to do that. Thanks for the opportunity!
At the urging of some friends, I went last year. WOW! I never wrote a blog before but because of the encouragement and success stories shared last year, I launched my blog in early February. This year I hope to learn how to get more ‘likes’ on my page and how to monetize. Free or not free -(free would be better – I haven’t monitzied it yet!) I wouldn’t miss it for anything!
Hello,
Social media is the best way to share your pictures and followers if you want ti increase your likes and followers then you can use this software for increase your followers.
I would love to learn more about SEO. The networking is fantastic too!
I usually go to the big summer conference, but I’m taking a year off to get back in touch with why I began to blog in the first place. I have 2 blogs, and I want to get better at managing them and do some networking with fellow Florida bloggers.
