I am really excited to be going to the Problogger training day in October. I’m going to take notes, pay attention and learn stuff. Unlike other blogging conferences, I will not be hungover or surviving on 1 hours sleep. It’s all business. All serious stuff.

I bought my ticket before they all sold out *phew!* And then I tried to sell a kidney on twitter to help pay for the ticket. Luckily, the lovely Louisa from Brand Meets Blog offered to sponsor me. She doesn’t even want my kidney in return. She’s lovely like that.

If you are a blogger and you like to work with brands, you must, must must be signed up with Brand Meets Blog. 
I have been to a few events with Brand Meets Blog and they have a really warm and intimate feel about them. Louisa is one of the most genuine people I have ever met and she has a wonderful way of connecting with brands and bloggers and setting them up in beautiful relationships together, based on compatibility and mutual benefit.

I have recently come on board as part of the team at Brand Meets Blog and I couldn’t be happier.

In a business sense, what I appreciate about Louisa most is her integrity. She has values that others only pretend to have. She works transparently and with respect to both the brand and the blogger, which is why she gets such great feedback and testimonials.

Louisa didn’t ask for anything in return for sponsorship. She just wanted to support a blogger. This post is not part of the deal, it’s just my way of introducing my sponsor and saying thanks.
