We hope last month many of you learned some new tips and tricks on SEO and are ready to bring your game on twitter. Whether you are new to the social media game or a true genius at it we are looking forward to each of your answers and even further questions on Saturday. 

Here is what we are serving up for Brunch:

2. What’s the best way to gain new followers?

3. TMI? What will you or wont you share on twitter?

4. What are some of your favorite twitter apps? Or ways to manage your friends and followers? What about tweet tracking?

5. Who are your must follows on twitter for blogging, inspiration or just for fun?!

We are always looking for new ways to make our electronic devises work better for our blogs and brand so when we came across Stamped we knew we had found a real gem. Stamped is a great way to connect with people and let people know what you love and suggest. With traveling a lot and going to many new cities what a better way than to hear from other tastemakers what is the best of the best. So head over and check it out! At the very least it looks very pretty :)

We are suckers for the sweet sounds of the radio while we work and are curious if you had any great recommendations for your favorite podcasts?

When working for yourself or on your own in your own home office even if it is after your day job it can be hard to get motivated to keep plugging away at what you love! It always good to have something to give you a little nudge that you can do it. All these prints do just that and should give you just the motivation you need in the moment you need it most. 

We wanted to make sure that anyone who missed Brunch last Saturday would be able to see everything we discussed! There was some killer conversation and great info to improving your SEO for your blog and website. Lots of questions were answered so head over and check out what was said!

Well Hello There,

Happy Blog Brunch Eve Everyone! We are on pins and needles for our second Brunch tomorrow and hope you are too! After we announced our topic of Search Engine Optimization we were flooded with suggestions and questions, and as a result we have a super sized twitter meetup we think you all will enjoy!

Last month we brunched about a topic that we all deal with on a daily basis CONTENT, but we realized that SEO is somewhat of a different beast. Take comfort that all of us are on various levels of expertise, so whether you are a SEO-Vet or a first-timer we invite you to engage, enjoy and experience a few “a-ha” moments ;)

The Menu for Brunch is as follows:

1.     What can SEO do? How has it helped you? What (if anything) are you doing for your blog’s SEO right now?

2.     Meta Content: What’s it for? What method do you use for writing it, and how do you know the right thing to say?

3.     Share some tools to manage/monitor your blog’s SEO.

4.      We all love a pretty picture- can images be SEO friendly?

5.      Is original content important to SEO?

6.     How much does the usability or design of your site affect SEO?

7.      What role does social media play in SEO or your websites ranking?

We hope to see all of you bright eyed and bushy-tailed Saturday morning at 10 am PST and 1 pm EST for a hearty talk and of course to hang with a bunch of great bloggers.
