Ann – I felt the same way. But, in the end, I got to hang out with some awesome people, made a to-do list with a few quality things to help improve my business, and got refocused. And if you can get that out of a conference…it was well worth the ticket price.
Ann says
Kelly your session was a big part of what made this such an amazing conference! You really helped a lot of people with your easy to do instructions on what brands want, and what bloggers should deliver, in a media kit.

Ann,
Thank you so much for coming this year. I too wondered if you would attend given all that has happened in the past year, but I’m glad you did. As always I wish I had more time to actually get to know you at the event, but I’ll probably have to do that somewhere else!
I’m glad the monetization session wasn’t a total bust for you :). Hope to see you again soon!

Ann says
Toni you ladies do a fabulous job putting on what is in my opinion, the best blogger learning conference available.
I actually enjoyed the monetization session very much – especially your bravery in defining what a “big blogger” is in each niche.

Andrea @ SavingsLifestyle says
Oh Ann, you said it right here:
“the reality is that for every hour I spend writing, I spend at least three on the back-end…”
Amen to that! The “other” stuff can be so draining at times. I’m glad you walked away re-energized. I actually did too!
P.S., last year wasn’t the same without you. I’m so glad you decided to come this year!!
Ann says
Thank you, Andrea! I so appreciate the amount of work you ladies put into presenting Savvy Blogging. You definitely deliver something for everyone!

Lauren says
Someday our paths will meet again Ann 🙂 So happy you had a great conference and you didn’t walk away from blogging!
Ann says
Thanks Lauren! Maybe next year?

I have to admit, since your interest has been fading so has mine! The deals are just not there and I have a huge stockpile to use up. The Tops doublers and gas points will get me going, but that is about it. 🙁
RA and Walgreens are just awful……….bring back the good old days!
Ann says
The “golden age of couponing” is over Lea Ann. It really was the first decade of the 21st century. It took rebates 10 years to cycle back after that early 90s disaster, but I don’t expect deals to take anywhere near as long to make a comeback.
Like you I have a giant stockpile and only two people to plow through it. I figure by this time next year I might have to start up again. 😛

I didn’t really realize you were actively posting at Coupons Deals and More. I follow you on twitter and facebook, but I never see any links posted except to here.
Ann says
When I switched all the social media over to Ann’s Entitled Life, I didn’t want anyone to think I was a psycho by switching back. Coupons, Deals and More is not what it once was, Shell. The only social way to follow is the Coupons, Deals and More Google+ page. I also do a “these are the unexpired weekend deals” link in the newsletter, but that is only once a week.
