Event Overview

Oh hey.

You write about tech. You write about cats. You write about fashion. You write about sports.

Whatever topic you blog about, it's obvious that you want to captivate your readers, and also (rightfully so) get as much compensation out of your fans as you can while serving them.

This class will focus on how you as a content creator can motivate your readers to donate to you as a artists to keep you producing the writing/music/video/podcasts they love.

Len Kendall, blogger, and founder of new company CentUp will talk about lessons he's learned as a blogger and startup founder focusing on helping content creators earn money for their work. No sales pitch, promise!

Minimum age

All ages welcome

Prerequisites

1) Watch this amazing video by Amanda Palmer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMj_P_6H69g

2) Have a blog/site with at least 100 active readers. Note: This class isn't focusing on growing your audience, it's more about leveraging the one you already have. (Granted many of the points discussed will leader to the former)

3) Voluntarily: Follow the "teacher" Len on Twitter: twitter.com/LenKendall

4) I'd like half the session to be a bit of "show and tell." If you're comfortable presenting in front of others, please email me (prior to the class) with a link to your most popular blog post and a few short sentences on why you think it was such a successful post. We'll likely go through 3-4 examples so please don't be offended if yours doesn't get picked.
