Win a scholarship to FinCon 19.

June 9, 2019 by Donna Freedman Leave a Comment

I’ve written before about FinCon, aka the Financial Blogger Conference, which I’ve been attending – and speaking at – since 2011. It’s full of programs that can help personal finance writers get better at what they do, and take their websites (and their earnings) to the next level.

However, the conference isn’t strictly limited to PF writers. Scribblers from other genres can also learn from programs that tackle topics such as writing in general, blogging, podcasting, smart use of social media, YouTube channels and affiliate marketing. The networking is huge, as is the opportunity to meet companies looking for freelance writers.

(Not sure you can write PF topics? If you’re a good researcher, you can. Personally, I fell into this kind of writing after 18 years in newspaper journalism – without any particular emphasis on money.)

FinCon 19 takes place from Sept. 4-7 in Washington, D.C. – and there are two opportunities to attend for free or on the cheap. Here’s how.

Attend FinCon18 without leaving home.

October 13, 2018 by Donna Freedman Leave a Comment

Every year I attend (and speak at) the Financial Blogger Conference (aka FinCon). It isn’t just for personal finance writers and devotees, though, because it touches on topics important to bloggers, vloggers and freelance writers of all stripes.

Topics such as good writing, effective interviewing (the topic of the panel I chaired), writing and publishing books, creating a niche brand, how to check a source’s credentials, social media, creating top-drawer YouTube videos, affiliate marketing and financial independence.

The conference took place in late September in Orlando, Florida. If you wanted to go but couldn’t, here’s another shot: The FinCon18 Virtual Pass.

You won’t get the in-person networking, the Freelancer Marketplace (which was great – kind of like speed dating for self-employed writers) or the chance to sit in the 16-foot inflatable flamingo. But here’s what you will get:

Meet pro bloggers and podcasters (and a rapper!) at Dallas writing event.

September 24, 2017 by Donna Freedman Leave a Comment

This year’s Financial Blogger Conference has something special planned for members of the public. Despite its name, the conference isn’t strictly for those who write about personal finance (more on that in a minute).

If you’re interested in freelancing writing and/or interested in getting a handle on your money – and if you’re in or near Dallas on Friday, Oct. 27 – then you need to check this out.

“Your Money, Live!” is an eight-hour event with workshops, speeches by (including keynote speaker David Bach), and something called Ignite FinCon, which is TEDx style speaking followed by a networking party where you can meet personal finance writers, bloggers and podcasters.

And did I mention the appearance by rapper Dee-1?
