Speaking About FTC Rules and Ethical Blogging At Lavish!

Hello!

I have been neglecting this blog because I am so busy these days. Which is a good thing and I am not complaining.

So here is an update on my activities for the last month. I attended another social media conference, Blogalicious. It was a good time and of course I learned a few things. Most importantly, individuals are using social media in such creative and business savvy ways. It is amazing. There is a lot of intellectual property being created through social media and individuals have to become educated about protecting their intellectual property.

I was invited to speak at the Lavish Experience Conference. It is a conference conceived and produced by Shameeka Ayers of The Broke Socialite and focuses on the Lifestyle blogger. Lifestyle blogging is Big Big Business and mainstream media and corporations are taking note! I will discuss how to navigate offers of paid income to blog or advertise on beauty and fashion blogs while also adhering to the revised Federal Trade Commissions Regulations regarding disclosure of paid advertising and product endorsement on social media platforms. Yes disclosure is required on all blogs, Facebook updates, Twitter feeds, etc.

The conference will take place here in Atlanta, GA at Mansion Hotel from December 10-12.

If you can not attend, please follow my tweets on that day. My tweets will include all the good information you need!
