South Florida Bloggers: February Meetup Recap

By Nikki Novo @nikkinovo · On February 22, 2016

South-Florida-Bloggers-Travel-Blogger South Florida Bloggers’ February meetup was madness — but in a good way. We had more members than chairs, which is always a good nice. Speaking of those chairs, each was extra special because they had goodie bags filled with samples from brands like Neutrogena, Kendra Scott, Zonin Prosecco, and Books & Books.

The Blogger Union founder, Paola Mendez, kicked off the packed event with news, updates, and a beautiful reminder to keep the kind collaboration among all of us.

Veteran blogger Annie Vazquez of The Fashion Poet gracefully shared her blogging wisdom, while The Blogger Union’s co-founder Nikki Novo moderated the inspirational talk. Some of Annie’s tips included:

To embrace our uniqueness rather than worry about competition
Invest in a photographer
Blogging can be your full time job! Woohoo!
Make some noise for yourself in your city by hosting events
And to really make sure you love what you do before embarking on this sometimes-turbulent journey

The informative sesh ended with a Q&A, photos, and lots of hugs.

Sad you missed it? We missed you, too. But don’t fret. We have this class coming up and our April meetup to look forward to. Oh, and if you’re in Ft. Lauderdale, join us on April 2 for the chapter launch event.

Wishing you growth and kindness.
