Do you have a blog? You have to read this!

There's nothing more discouraging than those little "0 comments" links on every blog post you write.

If you are like me, you have a blog and you'd love to grow your readership.

I, too, would like to spread the word about my blog to the world. So you could imagine how thrilled I was to see Lain Ehmann (of True Scrap fame) is teaching her secrets in a live webinar.

Then I was even more excited to see it's free!

In this workshop, on July 23, Lain will share her insights from years in the publishing industry, plus her many years online. Lain will:

1. help you avoid common mistakes before it's too late
2. debunk myths about Facebook and Twitter
3. show you where all the scrappy people are and how to get them to your blog
4. do it all with a healthy dose of humour

Can't make it July 23? there will be a replay available to registrants

Here's the lowdown - on July 23 Lain Ehmann will host a live webinar and teach us how to get more eyes to our blogs.

Can't make it July 23? there will be a replay available to registrants.

Hope to see you there.

Happy blogging!
