										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gehst Du auch so wahnsinnig gerne auf Konferenzen oder Blogger Veranstaltungen? Ehrlich gesagt gibt es für mich fast nichts Schöneres als Neues zu lernen und mich mit Menschen auszutauschen, die ähnlich ticken wie ich. Da darf mein Tag ruhig prall gefüllt sein mit Keynotes, Workshops und Mini Sessions. Je mehr Input, desto besser. Und wenn ich zwischendurch noch Zeit fürs Netzwerken bei einer Tasse Kaffee habe, ist die Veranstaltung für mich perfekt.</p>
<p><span id="more-3142"></span></p>
<h2>Blogger Veranstaltungen 2017 und 2018</h2>
<h3>Blog Big in München</h3>
<p>Jetzt am Wochenende ist es für mich endlich wieder soweit. Am Samstag findet zum ersten Mal die <a href="https://blogbig.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Blog Big</a> in München statt. Ich freue mich ganz besonders auf die Keynote von <a href="http://www.meinesvenja.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Svenja</a>, hoffe Antworten auf aktuelle rechtliche Fragen zu bekommen, informiere mich über E-Mail-Marketing, mache einen Video-Workshop. Ach, und am meisten freue ich mich darauf, viele bekannte Gesichter wiederzusehen.</p>
<p>UPDATE: Die nächste Blog Big findet am Samstag, den 20. Oktober 2018 statt. Das Thema? Deine Marke.</p>
<h3>Blogst in Köln</h3>
<p>Verpasst habe ich 2017 die <a href="http://www.blogst.de/blog/blogst-konferenz-2017-blogst17-blogstlove/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Blogst</a>, die im November in Berlin stattfand. Aber Dank Instagram, Twitter und Facebook (#blogstlove) und den teilnehmenden Bloggerinnen bekommst Du einen richtig guten Einblick in die Veranstaltung. Besonders informativ finde ich den Rückblick von Lisa von <a href="https://meinfeenstaub.com/blogst17/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Mein Feenstaub</a>. Und den Vortrag von Jette aka Me Supermom kannst Du Dank <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mesupermom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Facebook</a> sogar jetzt noch live miterleben.</p>
<p>UPDATE: Die nächste Blogst findet am 4.11.2018 in Köln statt.</p>
<h3>ALT Summit in Palm Springs / Kalifornien</h3>
<p>Gestern tauchte in meiner Inbox noch eine weitere Blogger-Konferenz auf: ALT Summit – für mich DIE amerikanische Konferenz für Blogger– findet Ende Februar 2018 in Kalifornien statt. Vor <a href="https://tinabusch.com/online-world/blogging/alt-summit-2016-this-is-what-i-learned/">zwei Jahren war ich auf der ALT</a>. Und was soll ich sagen: <em>I was blown away</em>! Wie gerne wäre ich jetzt wieder dabei! Aber für eine Konferenz nach Kalifornien zu fliegen? Das ist selbst für mich zu viel Aufwand&#8230; ABER – und jetzt kommt&#8217;s: Vielleicht können wir das Event online mitverfolgen! Gerade ist die Online-Konferenz <a href="http://www.altitudesummit.com/online-conference" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>ALT Together </strong></a>noch<strong> </strong>in Planung. Denn nur wenn sich genug Interessierte anmelden, werden die Inhalte der Konferenz online verfügbar sein. Für 279 USD bekommst Du Zugang zu den beiden Keynotes und sechs Sessions mit jeweils zwei bis drei Vorträgen und Workshops. Du kannst Dich ab jetzt bis zum 22. November registrieren. Bist Du dabei? Dann lass es mich wissen, damit wir DIE Blogger-Konferenz im Februar gemeinsam erleben. Vielleicht bei einer Tasse Kaffee am Computer!</p>
<h3>Projektin und denkst in Nürnberg</h3>
<p>2018 stehen noch zwei weitere Veranstaltungen in Nürnberg auf meinem Programm: Die <a href="http://projektin.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Projektin</a> findet am 10. März 2018 statt und richtet sich in erster Linie an Unternehmerinnen. Aber mal ehrlich: Kennst Du eine Bloggerin, die nicht auch Unternehmerin ist? Auf Social Media habe ich die letzte Konferenz mitverfolgt und war so begeistert, dass ich mir den Termin 2018 gleich vorgemerkt habe.</p>
<p>Im <del>Mai</del> September fahre ich zum zweiten Mal zur <a href="https://denkst.net/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">denkst</a>, ein Elternblogger-Treffen mit vielen Themen, die mich als Bloggerin und als Mama bewegen. Update: Die #denkst18 findet nicht im Mai, sondern am 29. September 2018 statt. Es gibt ein limitierte Anzahl von Early-Bird Tickets für 88 Euro – also hurry!</p>
<h3>Weitere Veranstaltungen für Blogger</h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://blogfamilia.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Blogfamilia</a> / 5. Mai 2018 / Berlin</li>
<li><a href="https://www.rock-the-blog.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Rock the Blog</a> / 15. Juni 2018 / Hannover</li>
</ul>
<p>Da kommen in den nächsten Monaten also viele schöne und inspirierende Blogger Veranstaltungen auf mich zu. Wenn ich es jetzt noch schaffen würde, zumindest einen kleinen Bruchteil der Tipps, Tricks und Ideen in die Tat umzusetzen, wäre mein Blog keine Baustelle mehr. Und mein Blogger-Leben fast perfekt. Aber wer will schon ein perfektes Leben???</p>
<p><strong>Welche Veranstaltungen, Workshops, Events stehen für 2018 in Deinem Terminkalender?</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ich kann&#8217;s kaum glauben: Da scrolle ich gestern morgen im Halbschlaf durch mein Instagram-Feed. Und sehe bei einer amerikanischen Bloggerin, dass sie Anfang September (Danke, Instagram, für Deinen merkwürdigen Algorithmus) bei einer <a href="https://www.sxsw.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SXSW</a>-Veranstaltung war. In Frankfurt. Und wem hört sie zu? Sheryl Sandberg.</p>
<p><a href="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/2017-09-Veranstaltungen.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2955" src="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/2017-09-Veranstaltungen-1024x1024.jpg" alt="Veranstaltungen in München – www.tinabusch.com " width="600" height="600" srcset="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/2017-09-Veranstaltungen-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/2017-09-Veranstaltungen-150x150.jpg 150w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/2017-09-Veranstaltungen-300x300.jpg 300w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/2017-09-Veranstaltungen-768x768.jpg 768w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/2017-09-Veranstaltungen-210x210.jpg 210w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-2887"></span></p>
<p>Aha. Eine SWXS-Veranstaltung findet in Deutschland statt. Sheryl Sandberg, deren Bücher &#8222;Lean In&#8220; und &#8222;Option B&#8220; ich damals und heute verschlungen habe, steht auf dem Podium. Und ich weiß nichts davon? Wie kann das sein? Warum tauchte keine Vorankündigung auf meinen Social Media Kanälen auf? Waren keine deutschen Blogger, deren Blogs ich lese, auf dieser Konferenz? Was für eine exklusive Veranstaltung war das?</p>
<p>Eine kurze www-Recherche bringt etwas Licht ins Dunkel: Bei dem Event handelt es sich um die <a href="https://www.me-convention.com/de/mercedes-benz/event/me-convention/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">me convention</a>, eine von Mercedes-Benz und SXSW organisierte Konferenz. Mit internationalen &#8222;Pionieren, Vordenkern, Abenteurern, Künstlern und Grenzverschiebern&#8220;. Drei Tage waren gefüllt mit Vorträgen, Workshops und Podiumsdiskussionen über zukunftsweisende Themen. Da wäre ich wirklich gerne dabei gewesen. Zwei Wochen später kann ich nur noch das Internet nach den Hashtags #meconvention und #createthefuture durchstöbern und mich von kurzen Snippets inspirieren lassen. Oder mich durch das Archiv der <a href="http://www.faz.net/suche/?query=me+convention&amp;resultsPerPage=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">FAZ</a> klicken.</p>
<p>Warum ich mich darüber ärgere, dass ich dieses Event verpasst habe? Weil es nicht das erste Mal ist, dass ich im Nachhinein von einer spannenden Veranstaltung erfahre. Ich sehe Fotos auf Instagram oder lese Recaps auf Blogs. Die Konsequenz? <em>Serious FOMO</em> und der Wunsch, dass die Vorankündigungen (und nicht nur die tatsächliche Berichterstattung <em>nach</em> der Veranstaltung) präsenter gewesen wären. In Form eines Blogartikels, Facebook-Posts, Terminkalenders (so wie Svenja das auf ihrer <a href="http://www.meinesvenja.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Homepage</a> macht). Oder einer persönlichen Markierung auf Social Media (&#8222;Hey, Tina, hast Du schon von diesem Event gehört? Vielleicht wäre das ja was für Dich!?&#8220;). Denn machen wir uns nichts vor: Die Online-Welt ist noisy. Da bekommen wir nicht alles mit. Ein paar Tage Social Media Abstinenz – die ich mir häufiger gönne – und ich habe den Anschluss verpasst.</p>
<p>Damit Dir das nicht passiert, schreibe ich heute über ein paar Veranstaltungen in München, die ich im Herbst 2017 besuchen werde. Für manche Events habe ich schon ein Ticket, bei anderen überlege ich noch.Vielleicht ist auch für Dich ein Event dabei!? Und wenn Du von einer interessanten Veranstaltung in München und Umgebung hörst, dort teilnimmst oder sie vielleicht sogar selber organisierst, lass es mich gerne wissen. Markiere mich auf Instagram oder Facebook oder schick mir eine kurze Mail an info @ tinabusch.com.</p>
<p>So, nun aber zu meinem herbstlichen Terminkalender.</p>
<h3>Veranstaltungen in München im Herbst 2017</h3>
<h4><a href="https://www.her-career.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">hercareer</a>, München<br />
12./13.Oktober 2017</h4>
<p>Los geht&#8217;s in zwei Wochen mit der &#8222;hercareer&#8220; in München. Die Messe habe ich schon letztes Jahr besucht und viele wichtige Infos über meine Selbstständigkeit mitgenommen. Zufällig traf ich dort auch ein paar Online-Bekanntenschaften in &#8222;real life&#8220;: <a href="https://sinawillmann.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Sina Willmann</a>, Andrea von <a href="https://die-anderl.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Die Anderl</a>,  Nadja, die bis vor Kurzem auf <a href="http://healthandthecity.de/nadjasabschied/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Health and the City</a> gebloggt hat, und Dominika von <a href="https://frommunichwithlove.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">From Munich with Love.</a> Letztere hat sogar einen Vortrag übers Bloggen gehalten. Mal gucken, wer dieses Jahr dabei ist. Zur Vorbereitung auf die Messe werde ich auf jeden Fall in den &#8222;hercareer&#8220; <a href="https://www.her-career.com/category/podcasts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Podcast</a> reinhören.</p>
<h4><a href="http://www.buchmesse.de/de/fbm/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><strong>Frankfurter Buchmesse</strong></a><br />
11.-15. Oktober 2017</h4>
<p>Parallel zur &#8222;hercareer&#8220; findet die Buchmesse in Frankfurt statt, die ich eigentlich mit meinem Blog-und-Business-Buddy Jonna von den <a href="http://www.expatmamas.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Expatmamas</a> besuchen wollte. Die Terminkollision mit &#8222;hercareer&#8220; und eine Anreisezeit von über 7 (!) Stunden führten dann aber doch zu einer Planänderung. Falls Du die Messe am Sonntag besuchst und Dich für Kinder- und Jugendbücher interessierst, möchte ich Dir die <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/487816704906427/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Lesung</a> von meiner lieben Freundin Katja Frixe ans Herz lesen. Ihre &#8222;<a href="https://www.amazon.de/zauberhafte-Wunschbuchladen-Katja-Frixe/dp/379150021X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1506409732&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=Frixe" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Wunschbuchladen</a>&#8222;-Reihe um Klara und Frau Eule, Lene, Leo und den Hamster Harry ist genau der richtige Lesestoff für alle Mädchen ab 7 Jahren.</p>
<h4><a href="http://www.kinderkunsthaus.de/werkstattgespraeche/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Werkstattgespräche im Kinderkunsthaus</a>, München<br />
8. November 2017</h4>
<p>Fest eingeplant habe ich auch den dritten Teil der Vortragsreihe &#8222;Erwachsen sein. Neugierig bleiben&#8220;. Dieses Mal spricht Prof. Dr. Joachim Bauer über Erkenntnisse aus der Hirnforschung für Eltern und Lehrer. Die ersten beiden Werkstattgespräche mit Prof. Dr. Brohm-Badry und Dr. Jan-Uwe Rogge haben <a href="https://tinabusch.com/travel/kinderkunsthaus/">bei mir eine nachhaltige Wirkung</a> hinterlassen. Deshalb ist diese Veranstaltung ein &#8222;must do&#8220;.</p>
<p>Psst! Wohnst Du in Burghausen, Mühldorf und Umgebung? Dann kannst Du jetzt noch einen lehrreichen und unterhaltsamen <a href="https://www.kreisbildungswerk-mdf.de/programm/kbw/muehldorf/veranstaltung/-/34795.html?tx_kebprogramm_pi1[showdetails]=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Abend mit Jan-Uwe Rogge</a> verbringen. Am <strong>20. November 2017</strong> spricht er um 20 Uhr über das Thema &#8222;Was Kinder und Jugendliche heute brauchen&#8220;.</p>
<h4><a href="https://blogbig.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Blog Big</a>, München<br />
18. November 2017</h4>
<p>Bei dieser Blogger-Konferenz wird es um aktuelle Themen, wie E-Mail-Marketing, rechtliche Fragen, Podcasting und Videos gehen. Besonders freue ich mich aber auf ein Wiedersehen mit vielen Blogger-Kolleginnen aus München. Die ein oder andere war sogar schon zu Gast im begleitenden <a href="https://blogbig.de/category/podcast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Podcast</a> – hört doch mal rein.</p>
<h4><a href="https://learndigital.withgoogle.com/zukunftswerkstatt/f2f#/september" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Google Zukunftswerkstatt</a>, München (und andere deutsche Städte)<br />
fortlaufend</h4>
<p>Geplant habe ich auch einen weiteren Besuch der Google Zukunftswerkstatt, ganz in der Nähe vom Münchner Hauptbahnhof. Da gibt es für mich und Dich noch einiges – kostenlos! – zu lernen, vor allem zu den Themen SEO und Analytics.</p>
<p>Außerdem möchte ich endlich wieder an einem <a href="https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/MomPreneurs-Munchen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><strong>MomPreneurs Meetup</strong></a> in München teilnehmen.  Eine Fortsetzung des <a href="http://www.meinesvenja.de/2017/04/11/light-up-your-future/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><strong>Light Up Your Future</strong></a>-Workshops bei, von und mit Svenja und Uwe Walter ist auch geplant. In München natürlich. Mit meinen Kindern steht ein Besuch der <a href="http://www.digitalwerkstatt.de/muenchen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><strong>HABA Digitalwerkstatt</strong></a> auf dem Programm, die – wie soll es auch anders sein – in München sitzt. Und ich frage mich zum wiederholten Male: Wie schaffe ich es, dass ich nicht ständig nach München fahre, sondern zumindest eine klitzekleine Auswahl dieser Veranstaltungen in meiner Nähe stattfinden? Da gibt es noch viel zu tun&#8230;</p>
<h4>Geplante Termine im Winter / Frühjahr 2018</h4>
<p>Und für das neue Jahr habe ich auch schon ein paar Termine in meinem Kalender vorgemerkt:</p>
<ul>
<li>Handlettering Workshop, Burghausen – Anfang Januar 2018</li>
<li>Münchner Mom Blogger Treffen im Kinderkunsthaus – Januar 2018</li>
<li>kreatives Networking Retreat in Schleswig-Holstein – Februar 2018</li>
<li>Leipziger Buchmesse – 15.-18. März 2018</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Lieber Herbst, ich freue mich auf Dich! Auf viele Wiedersehen mit inspirierenden Menschen und tolle Vorträge und Workshops, die meinen Horizont erweitern. Denn für mich gibt es nichts Schlimmeres als mit Scheuklappen durch <del>Burghausen</del> die Welt zu laufen und auf der Stelle zu treten. </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Liebe Leserin, lieber Leser: Bist Du dabei? Sehen wir uns? Welche Veranstaltungen stehen in den kommenden Wochen und Monaten auf Deinem Programm?</strong></span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>UPDATE May 2020: Listen to <a href="https://tinabusch.com/sonstiges/10-anne-haeusler/">my interview with the organizer of the challenge, Anne Häusler</a>!<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Are you on Instagram? If not you missed something really fun! <a href="https://www.annehaeusler.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Anne Häusler</a>&#8217;s #meetthebloggerde challenge. During this 2-week-long challenge Anne asked 14 questions and all German bloggers were invited to answer them on their Instagram account. Which I did. Along with hundreds of other German bloggers. I had so much fun to not only post consistently and to come up with photo ideas every single day. But I also loved the feedback from my followers, old and new, and I discovered quite a few new blogs and inspiring Instagram accounts. </strong></p>
<p><span id="more-2770"></span></p>
<p><strong>So here are the 14 questions with my photos and answers – especially put-together for my English-speaking readers and those blog readers who are not on Instagram yet. And at the end of the post I&#8217;ll reveal my 3 favorite new blog discoveries!</strong></p>
<h2>The 2017 Instagram challenge #meetthebloggerde</h2>
<h3><span style="color: #008080;">1 &#8211; About me</span></h3>
<p><a href="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/2017-about-me-web.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-2774 size-medium" src="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/2017-about-me-web-300x300.jpg" alt="The Instagram Challenge #meetthebloggerde – 14 questions and my answers – www.tinabusch.com" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/2017-about-me-web-300x300.jpg 300w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/2017-about-me-web-150x150.jpg 150w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/2017-about-me-web-210x210.jpg 210w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/2017-about-me-web.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a>My name is Tina and on my blog I&#8217;ve been sharing my personal journey of adjusting to life in Germany after 5 years in the United States. You also find a lot of information and interviews about expat life in the US. In addition I&#8217;m on a mission to inspire my blog readers to listen to <a href="https://tinabusch.com/podcast/podcast-app-overcast/">podcasts</a> while I also frequently share my love for coffee with them.</p>
<p>When I don&#8217;t write for my blog, I translate, write and research for a living. Very soon I&#8217;m also going to add &#8222;teaching English&#8220; to my list of services. I&#8217;ve been a freelancer for only 4 months now and often feel overwhelmed: projects get cancelled over night, but then at the same time I need to watch my finances carefully because of taxes and health insurance issues. I&#8217;ve embraced the underestimated power of online connections. And I&#8217;ve learned to trust my gut when it comes to accepting an offer or not.

Unfortunately, it&#8217;s not. I used to write mainly about our expat life. But since I&#8217;m no longer an expat, I&#8217;m kind of stuck in the mud. I have many topics I&#8217;m interested in, but so far hardly anything is really dear and close to my heart. I promise that I will keep looking for the gold, but <del>when</del> if I will find it, only heaven knows&#8230;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #008080;">3 &#8211; My biggest success as a blogger</span></h3>

<p>How do I define success? If I only take likes, visits, comments, and followers into account, my blog wouldn&#8217;t be considered to be successful. But numbers don&#8217;t play a big role in my life. It&#8217;s people and personal connections that matter. When I reach and meet people who share my interests and who I would have never ever met without my blog, that&#8217;s success for me. An example?

I only know that my blog and my business can&#8217;t be separated from my name. That&#8217;s one of the reasons why I chose my name when I registered this domain 3 years ago. I also didn&#8217;t want to limit myself topic-wise by chosing a blog name that was related to my life abroad. Knowing already that my life as an expat would come to an end sooner or later. Now I&#8217;m dreaming of my name written in handlettering or calligraphy, spiced up with a touch of turquoise. And I can tell you now: this dream may come true pretty soon!</p>

<p>To make money translating, writing, coaching, teaching, researching by nurturing this online presence. To create and teach an online class. To write my second book. A book that appeals to a broader audience than just language nerds and very passionate linguists.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #008080;">6 &#8211; What inspires me</span></h3>
<p>People and their personal stories which they share on blogs, podcasts and social media, in articles and books. I love to share these sources of inspirations with my blog readers in my more or less bi-weekly Friday Link Love series. My wish is to inspire my readers with my online finds. And this might also be the main reason of why I write a blog: I want to invite my readers to be curious, to think things through, to look beyond, to risk / hear / read / listen to something new.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #008080;">7 &#8211; I can&#8217;t blog without &#8230;.</span></h3>

Ich finde, Social Media muss Spaß machen und deshalb bin ich hauptsächlich auf Instagram unterwegs. Um selber zu fotografieren, mich visuell inspirieren zu lassen und mich zu vernetzen – das alles kann ich auf Instagram machen. Viele meiner Fotos schaffen es leider nicht in meinen Feed – und ich weiß nicht, woran das liegt ????????‍♀️ Facebook nutze ich auch regelmäßig, aber fast nur für den Blog oder für meine Facebook-Gruppen.</a></p>

<p>&#8230; FUN! And that&#8217;s why I mainly use Instagram. Here I can share my passion for photography, I get inspired while browsing through my feed, and I also meet so many like-minded people. A look into my photos file tells me though that I could (and should) post more often – there are so many good pictures that have never appeared in my feed. Apart from Instagram I&#8217;m also using Facebook on a regular basis, mainly to share my blog posts or to participate in my Facebook groups. <em>And psst!</em> <em>I&#8217;ve heard that Facebook is about to launch <a href="https://media.fb.com/2016/12/20/introducing-live-audio/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Facebook Audio live</a> – interesting news for all podcast enthusiasts like me!</em></p>

<li>I don&#8217;t like wine, but I never say no to a beer.</li>
<li>I often have a heart-to-heart talk with people I just met.</li>
<li>I always have ear plugs on my nightstand just in case that my kids start coughing in the middle of the night. If that happens, I know that sleep will never come back to me. And ear plugs have proven to be the solution.</li>

<p>Just do it. It doesn&#8217;t need to be perfect because blogging is learning while doing it. And that&#8217;s why I am reading <a href="https://www.amazon.de/Most-Magnificent-Thing-Ashley-Spires/dp/1554537045/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1495119435&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=the+most+magnificent+thing" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">this kids book</a> every.single.day.</p>
<p>14 questions, 14 answers. If you are still looking for more, you can always look up #meetthebloggerde on Instagram to discover new blogs and to read more answers. This is exactly what I did during the challenge and these are my 3 favorite new accounts:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/geniesserspecht/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bettina</a> and her blog <a href="http://respektherrspecht.de/kategorien/aufgebrueht-cafe-eroeffnen/interviewserie/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Respekt Herr Specht</a>. As a coffee addict I love her interview series &#8222;aufgebrüht&#8220; in which she talks to coffee shop founders all over Germany.</li>
<li>Sindy and her blog <a href="http://www.meingewissesetwas.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Mein gewisses Etwas</a>. Looking at her <a href="https://www.instagram.com/meingewissesetwas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Instagram</a> photos makes me want to start sewing again.</li>
<li>Suse and her blog <a href="http://www.ichlebejetzt.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ich lebe! jetzt!</a> – <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ichlebejetzt1/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Suse</a> blogs about kids, family, and trying to find the balance between family and job life. And most importantly she is one of the organizers of the blogger conference <a href="https://denkst.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">#denkst</a> in Nürnberg. Which is in 2 days! And guess who will be there??? Follow along on my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tina_busch/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Instagram</a> if you are interested in what&#8217;s happening in Nürnberg.</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>If you have any questions that you would like to ask me – blog- or expat-life-related, personal or related to business, let me know! I&#8217;m more than happy to answer your questions and to get to know my blog readers a little bit better. </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Always wishing you lots of sunshine, fresh flowers, and your kids&#8216; laughter :-)</strong></span></p>

<p>On Sunday, March 12, 2017 the Expat in the City fair opens its doors from 10 am to 5 pm to all internationals living in Munich. The tickets are free if you order them <a href="http://www.expatinthecity.de/tickets/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">online</a> in advance; after 10 am they are EUR 10,- at the door.</p>
<p>In preparation for this post I asked Elisabeth Egger and Barbara Bijvank, the event organizers, about their own expat experience. This is what they had to say:</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>What is your personal Expat experience?<br />
</strong></span><strong>Barbara:</strong> I&#8217;ve basically been an expat all my life. Through my father&#8217;s job we ended up in Qatar and later I lived in Oman for 8 years. As a student I lived in the USA, Canada and Surinam and finally as an adult I ended up in Munich.</p>
<p><strong>Elisabeth:</strong> My parents moved to Spain when they were young. I was born and grew up there. So I was already kind of born as an expat ;-) I moved to Munich 21 years ago.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Why did you decide to organize the Expat in the City fair?</strong> <strong>Was there a key moment in your personal life that made you see the need for such an event?<br />
</strong></span><strong>Barbara:</strong> When I moved to Munich, I found myself pretty &#8218;lost in the city&#8216;. I was looking for a job, but didn&#8217;t know how or where. I didn&#8217;t speak German as good as I thought I did :). And meeting people wasn&#8217;t so easy in a city. When Elisabeth and I met, we found out we had very similar ideas about what was missing in Munich for the international community. It took some time to get from idea to an actual Fair, but when it did it was a pretty amazing ride!</p>
<p><strong>Elisabeth:</strong> I moved to Munich 21 years ago where I learned what it is like to set up a new life away from friends, family and an own support network. This journey led me to set up my own language school where I taught German to Expats and helped them set up a network abroad. This is where I met Barbara. She started to learn German with me, we threw together our experiences, strengths, passions and ideas and we ended up setting up an Expat fair for Munich. As Barbara says, a pretty amazing ride!</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>What do you love most about Expat life?<br />
</strong></span><strong>Barbara:</strong> What I like most about expat life is the chance to meet people from all over the world and experience new things. It can be challenging at times, but I think it is so worth it!</p>
<p><strong>Elisabeth: </strong>I think Expat life allows us to discover and be curious, to reinvent ourselves and to write our own stories. I think this is a wonderful opportunity to have and this is what we aim to encourage.</p>

Child care is also available so you can always bring the whole family!</p>
<p>The blogger event takes place from 3:30 to 5:00 pm in the Bavaria Room and is hosted by Dana from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/WantedAdventure" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Wanted Adventures</a>. My talk about the challenges of repatriation is scheduled for 4:05 pm. I will be joined by Isil from <a href="http://www.movetomunich.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Move to Munich</a> and <a href="http://www.munichmom.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Munich Mom</a> blogger Laura. The blogger presentations are followed by a 30-minute Q&amp;A session. So please stay, say hi and ask us all about expat life and blogging!</p>
<p>At this point I also would like to give a shout-out to Dominika from <a href="http://frommunichwithlove.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">From Munich with Love</a>. She was the one who introduced me to the Expat in the City team and made my participation possible. Thank you, Dominika!</p>
<p>For more information on the programme, the venue and the free tickets please hop over to the <a href="http://www.expatinthecity.de/tickets" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">website</a>!</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>I hope to see you on Sunday!</strong></span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>It&#8217;s been two weeks already that I went to Hamburg for <a href="https://tinabusch.com/blogging/blogst-2016-before/">my first German blog conference</a>, <a href="http://www.blogst.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Blogst 2016</a>. I&#8217;m still recovering from a very busy weekend while connecting to the many creative people I&#8217;ve met, browsing through freshly discovered Instagram feeds and processing the ton of information and inspiration that I gathered over the course of 3 days. I&#8217;m sure this blog post is going to bring some structure into my brain since I learn and remember best when I write things down. As I did with my <a href="https://tinabusch.com/blogging/alt-summit-2016-this-is-what-i-learned/">ALT Summit review</a> I&#8217;ve decided to walk you briefly through the schedule and share my biggest takeaways with you. Ready? Let&#8217;s go!<br />
</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-2016-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2408" src="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-2016-2.jpg" alt="Blogst 2016" width="600" height="600" srcset="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-2016-2.jpg 600w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-2016-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-2016-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-2016-2-210x210.jpg 210w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-2393"></span></p>
<h4>FRIDAY</h4>
<p>The conference started on Friday night with a casual welcome party at the <a href="http://www.25hours-hotels.com/de/number-one/home/home.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">25hours Number One Hotel</a> in Hamburg Altona, the hotel Jonna from <a href="http://www.expatmamas.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Expatmamas</a> and I and many other attendees stayed at for two nights. It&#8217;s a very stylish hotel (it sells the popular <a href="http://www.gin-sul.de/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Gin Sul</a> in the little lobby shop!), but unfortunately it also has paper-thin walls, at least on the first floor. So glad that I never ever travel without my ear plugs. At the party I met Enja and Sandra from <a href="http://www.moka-publishing.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">MoKA</a>, a beautiful print and online magazine for book worms, Stephie from <a href="http://www.whatdoyoufancy.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">What do you fancy</a>, a beauty blogger who filled me in on all the popular beauty You Tuber, and Nina from <a href="http://www.labelfrei-me.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">labelfrei me</a>, a fellow creative from Munich with a very inspirational design blog and Instagram feed. Make sure to check them out!</p>
<h3>SATURDAY</h3>
<div id="attachment_2405" style="width: 610px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-170.jpeg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2405" class="size-large wp-image-2405" src="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-170-1024x682.jpeg" alt="Blogst 2016 Opening" width="600" height="400" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-2405" class="wp-caption-text">Photo credit: <a href="http://silkezander.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Silke Zander</a> for #blogst16</p></div>
<p>Day 1 started with a warm welcome by Ricarda (<a href="http://www.23qmstil.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">23qm Stil</a>) and Clara (<a href="http://www.tastesheriff.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">tastesheriff</a>), the two organizers of the conference who did an amazing job putting the whole event together! Chapeau! And then the talks and workshops started.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The topic?</strong></span> The Future of Blogging<br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The speaker?</strong></span> <a href="http://www.justk.nl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Kirsten Jassies</a><br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>My takeaway?</strong></span> Video is the future! In 2 years 85% of all online content is going to be video. Focus on interaction with your followers. Only use the social media channels you like. Tell a story with a beginning, middle, and end. Chose collaborations wisely. Network and help each other grow. If you want to dive deeper into the topic, you can watch her talk <a href="https://www.facebook.com/justkirstenjassies" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">here</a>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The topic?</strong></span> Blogging as a Brand<br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The speaker?</strong></span> <a href="http://mamablog-mamamia.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Halima Lohbeck</a><br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>My takeaway?</strong> </span>Your blog is your brand and a mirror of your personality. What moves you on a personal level, is the driving force of your blog. This makes your blog unique and special and attracts <strong>your</strong> readers. So continue to go out there, write about your life and share your world with your audience! Such a motivational speech for all bloggers who deal with self-doubt! Thank you Halima!</p>
<p><a href="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-coffeebreak.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2410" src="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-coffeebreak.jpg" alt="Blogst 2016 coffee break" width="600" height="600" srcset="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-coffeebreak.jpg 600w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-coffeebreak-150x150.jpg 150w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-coffeebreak-300x300.jpg 300w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-coffeebreak-210x210.jpg 210w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The topic?</strong></span> Instagram for Bloggers<br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The speaker?</strong></span> <a href="https://twitter.com/heiko" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Heiko Hebig</a><br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>My takeaway?</strong> </span>After hearing from Kirsten that video content is the future, Heiko convinced me to give Instagram Stories (good-bye Snapchat that I&#8217;ve hardly ever used) a try and to switch to a business profile (hello analytics!). What else? Frequent posting makes you more visible as does interacting with your followers. Also Instagram is continuously working on the algorithm of the feed. Yeah! There is hope that chronology returns!</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The topic?</strong></span> Social Media Law for Bloggers<br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The speaker?</strong> </span><a href="http://www.socialmediarecht.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Nina Dierks</a><br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>My takeaway?</strong> </span>Every (German) blog needs an imprint and a data privacy statement; a disclaimer is unnecessary. Any form of advertising (e.g. sponsored post, affiliate link, collaboration) needs to be clearly identified and emphasized visually at the beginning of the post. The average blog reader doesn&#8217;t know what an affiliate link is; clearly labeling these as <em>Amazon-Partnerlink</em> or <em>Werbelink</em> is good practice.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The topic?</strong></span> Facebook Ads for Bloggers<br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The speaker?</strong> </span><a href="http://www.kunecoco.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Jennifer Kosche</a><br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>My takeaway? </strong></span>Use the Facebook Ads Manager. 1) Define your goal (e.g. more likes for your Facebook page or increasing interaction on a single post?). 2) Determine your target group / budget / time period / location. 3) Design your ad. Be aware that Facebook makes the final decision regarding design and target group. If you have more questions, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/blueprint" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Facebook Blueprint</a>, an E-Learning platform, is a good resource.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The topic?</strong></span> Collaborations – Why a briefing should become your favorite tool<br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The speaker?</strong> </span><a href="http://www.gourmetguerilla.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Mel Buml</a><br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>My takeaway? </strong></span>When collaborating with an agency / company, a briefing helps the &#8222;professionette&#8220; blogger to avoid misunderstandings and to be successful. The briefing should determine key information, including the company&#8217;s reasons and goals for the collaboration, a description of the company / product, the scope of the collaboration, terms and definitions to be used (or not!), timing, budget, and administrative issues.</p>
<p><a href="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-expatmamas.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2411" src="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-expatmamas.jpg" alt="Blogst 2016 Expatmamas" width="600" height="600" srcset="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-expatmamas.jpg 600w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-expatmamas-150x150.jpg 150w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-expatmamas-300x300.jpg 300w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-expatmamas-210x210.jpg 210w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p>Jonna&#8217;s and my first Blogst day did not end on this beautiful couch in the <a href="http://eu.farrow-ball.com/?lng=de-DE&amp;ctry=DE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Farrow &amp; Ball</a> living room, but with a delicious cheeseburger and Parmesan fries from <a href="http://www.25hours-hotels.com/de/number-one/restaurant/burger-de-ville-hamburg.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Burger de Ville</a>, a cool food truck located right in front of the hotel. While enjoying our dinner I experienced first hand how much Social Media and the Internet are influencing my life – in a good way! While my blog brought Jonna into my life, a comment on one of my Instagram photos turned out to be a great conversation starter. &#8222;Have you met Désirée from <a href="http://jokihu.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Jokihu</a> yet?&#8220; asked <a href="http://www.meinesvenja.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Svenja</a>. I looked at Désirée&#8217;s profile picture and realized that she had been sitting right across from me at the table all this time. What a great way to connect!</p>
<h3>SUNDAY</h3>
<p>Armed with a cup of tea (because: first tea, then coffee!) and a <em>Franzbrötchen</em> (yummy!) I was ready for the second day of talks, conversations and more talks.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The topic?</strong></span> Blogging on the Holodeck<br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The speaker?</strong></span> <a href="http://www.growthbystory.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Christian Riedel<br />
</a><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>My takeaway?</strong></span> Don&#8217;t be scared of the future of blogging. Storytelling is king, and always will be. Remember to look inside yourself – your heart, your personality, your emotions, your interests. That&#8217;s the story you should tell. And remember: content without a strategy is art. Content with a strategy is advertising.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The topic?</strong></span> How passion leads to a community and a book<br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The speaker?</strong></span> <a href="https://www.urbanjunglebloggers.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Igor Josifovic &amp; Judith de Graff</a></p>
<div id="attachment_2407" style="width: 610px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-1697.jpeg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2407" class="size-large wp-image-2407" src="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-1697-1024x684.jpeg" alt="Blogst 16 Urban Jungle Bloggers" width="600" height="401" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-2407" class="wp-caption-text">Photo credit: <a href="http://silkezander.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Silke Zander</a> for #blogst16</p></div>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>My takeaway?</strong></span> I only wrote down one thing (What do people ask you all the time? Put that in a book), the rest of the time I was magnetized by Igor and Judith&#8217;s success story. Of course I decided to get the English version of their book <a href="https://www.amazon.de/Urban-Jungle-Living-Styling-Plants/dp/3766722441/ref=sr_1_3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Urban Jungle</a> – makes a great Christmas present by the way – and to add more plants to my home.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The topic?</strong></span> Time Management<br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The speaker?</strong></span> <a href="https://relleomein.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Heike Niemöller<br />
</a><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>My takeaway?</strong></span> Create your own weekly blog schedule. Make sure to divide your time between planning and production days. Find the tools that work for you (e.g. Trello, Coschedule, Later). Photoshop: save recurrent steps as actions; create templates for blog photos. Want to dive even deeper into that topic? You can find Heike&#8217;s <a href="https://relleomein.de/2016/11/bloggen-strukturiert-organisiert/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">presentation</a> on her blog!</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The topic?</strong></span> About blogger superheros and your blogger super powers<br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The speaker?</strong></span> <a href="http://ffluid.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Jörn Hendrik Ast</a></p>
<p><a href="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-Superhelden.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2413" src="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-Superhelden.jpg" alt="Blogst 2016 Superhelden" width="600" height="600" srcset="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-Superhelden.jpg 600w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-Superhelden-150x150.jpg 150w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-Superhelden-300x300.jpg 300w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-Superhelden-210x210.jpg 210w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>My takeaway?</strong></span> There are four types of blogger superheros: entrepreneur, maker, fighter, helper. <a href="http://superheldentraining.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Identify who you are</a>, come up with a clear strategy / goal and do your thing.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The topic?</strong></span> Reach, fame &amp; glory – How influencer relations should work<br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The speaker?</strong></span> <a href="https://danielrehn.wordpress.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Daniel Rehn</a>, <a href="http://mein-feenstaub.blogspot.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Lisa Tihanyi</a> &amp; <a href="http://berlinmittemom.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Anna Luz de Leon</a><br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>My takeaway?</strong></span> A very heated discussion with controversial opinions on: Is it ok for bloggers to do content for free (to be featured in a magazine or blog for example)? What amount should bloggers get paid for a blog post (there was lots of talk about a basic allowance plus reach but a concrete number was never mentioned)? How should agencies approach bloggers? Why do bloggers and journalists have such a controversial relationship? Lots of food for thought, for sure.</p>
<p>And then – Blogst 2016 was over!</p>
<p>I headed back to the airport right away, completely exhausted, full of new ideas, and ready to hug my family and sleep in my own bed.</p>
<p><a href="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-welcomeback.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2414" src="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-welcomeback.jpg" alt="Blogst 2016 welcome back" width="600" height="600" srcset="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-welcomeback.jpg 600w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-welcomeback-150x150.jpg 150w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-welcomeback-300x300.jpg 300w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Blogst-welcomeback-210x210.jpg 210w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Thank you Clara and Ricarda for organizing this event! You did an amazing job! And thank you Jonna for being my Blogst partner – it was so much fun to be there with you!<br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Back in February I put together a list of <a href="https://tinabusch.com/expat-life/99-things-list-3/">99 things</a> I wanted to do before I went back to Germany. One thing on the list was to get a ticket to the <a href="http://www.blogst.de/konferenz-2016/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Blogst</a> 2016 conference in Hamburg. Which turned out to be almost impossible! The tickets literally sold out in milliseconds. But luckily I have my online-now-real-life friend <a href="https://tinabusch.com/expat-life/expat-interview/ein-kleiner-kern-bleibt-immer-fremd-expat-interview-mit-jonna-von-expatmamas/">Jonna</a> from <a href="http://www.expatmamas.de/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">expatmamas.de</a> at my side. Back in June (when I was frantically refreshing the Blogst-page on my phone while watching my daughter&#8217;s cheerleading performance) Jonna made the impossible possible: she snatched not one, but two tickets to Blogst 2016. One for her, one for me! </strong></p>

<p><span id="more-2375"></span></p>
<p>So this Saturday and Sunday it is finally time for me to attend <del>a</del> the (?) German blog conference. And I&#8217;m so so excited! I&#8217;m going to travel to Hamburg today to catch up on everything (life, kids, work, and, of course, the outcome of the election) with my really good friend who I haven&#8217;t seen in forever. Three years to be precise. To a night of great conversations, lots of laughter, and gin tonics!</p>
<p>After Friday night it&#8217;s going to be all about blogging, social media, networking, creativity and inspiration. I can&#8217;t wait to get to meet <a href="http://mamablog-mamamia.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Mama Mia</a>, <a href="http://berlinmittemom.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Berlin Mitte Mom</a>, <a href="http://www.gourmetguerilla.de/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Gourmet Guerilla</a> – to name only a few of the speakers – in person. I have been following them online for a while, but it always makes such a difference to meet an online persona in real life. And who knows which fun, creative, inspiring blogging enthusiasts I&#8217;m going to add to my blog reading list after the weekend!</p>
<p>It was only at the beginning of this year that I attended my first blog conference ever: <a href="https://tinabusch.com/blogging/alt-summit-2016-this-is-what-i-learned/">ALT Summit</a> in Salt Lake City which is THE conference for bloggers in the United States. It was a hugely inspiring event that I&#8217;m still profiting from today. Now I&#8217;m hoping that my bar for Blogst is not raised too high&#8230; And that bloggers in Germany are as welcoming, supportive, and positive as their American counterparts.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Time to pack my business cards, the glitter outfit, and tons of reading material for the long journey up North. Make sure to check back on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tina_busch/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Instagram</a> to get a real-life update on my Blogst experience. </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>See you back here real soon! </strong></span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Panera Bread, P.F.

It happens again and again. And it&#8217;s always really exciting! Will they recognize me? Do they look like the picture they send me? Do I look like the picture on my blog today? What do I do if we don&#8217;t have anything to talk about, if we run out of topics after only a few minutes? By now you might be wondering what I&#8217;m talking about. Well, about blind dates, of course! I&#8217;ve had several since I started this blog. And I&#8217;m loving it!</strong></span></p>
<p><a href="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/2016-05-blind-dates.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-2155 size-full" src="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/2016-05-blind-dates.jpg" alt="personal connections" width="600" height="600" srcset="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/2016-05-blind-dates.jpg 600w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/2016-05-blind-dates-150x150.jpg 150w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/2016-05-blind-dates-300x300.jpg 300w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/2016-05-blind-dates-210x210.jpg 210w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-2152"></span></p>
<p>Writing a blog is a very solitary activity. You spend hours at your computer, writing, sharing, researching, taking pictures, curating, editing photos, reading, commenting, learning, tweaking, brainstorming, crafting, styling&#8230;</p>
<p>Interaction with or feedback from readers do not happen on a regular basis, not just on your blog. And in your offline life you tend to avoid talking too much about your blog because your family and friends are a) not as enthusiastic about blogging as you are, b) maybe not really interested in the topics you are writing about or c) generally don&#8217;t read <del>your</del> blog(s).</p>
<p>So on these rare occasions that someone reaches out to you and makes the effort to actually send you a personal e-mail asking you for advice, information, recommendations, a translation or wants to meet you in person, this entire blogging journey suddenly makes sense! Of course, you say &#8222;YES&#8220; to a cup of coffee (especially if you are a coffee lover like me), a lunch or dinner date. Yes, it feels weird to meet someone who only knows your &#8222;online&#8220; identity and you don&#8217;t know anything about. Yes, you make sure that you tell your husband where you are going. And no, you won&#8217;t regret it!</p>
<p>Because it&#8217;s these personal connections that are important and that keep you going. Not the Zillion (or 5) Likes or Shares on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. It&#8217;s that single person you are able to help, who you can connect to other people, for whom you can make (expat) life a little bit easier just because you&#8217;ve been sharing your story and your experiences on the internet.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve met the most friendly, inspiring, wonderful people on my blind dates. And I would like to thank each and every one of you (and if you think that I&#8217;m talking about you, I probably am ;-)): thank you for finding me on the internet, reaching out to me and meeting me in person (or on Skype). These blind dates where I get to listen to your life story, am inspired by your thoughts and ideas and might even be able to answer your questions or move you in the right direction, all of this means much more to me than you might imagine! Thank you, thank you, thank you for your e-mails, Facebook messages, and WhatsApp texts. And, of course, thank you for all of your comments, likes, and shares! Without these, no-one would ever be able to find me and my blog in this confusing and humongous world-wide web of today&#8217;s internet!</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>So here you have it: I go on blind dates. And I&#8217;m loving it! Have you ever been on a (non-romantic) blind date? Do you have online connections that became actual real-life friendships? I would love to hear your stories and you are more than welcome to shoot me an e-mail at info@. Who knows – you might be my next blind date!<br />

Und so geht&#8217;s dann immer weiter in der bunten Blogger-Welt!</p>
<p><strong>Hier sind Nancy&#8217;s Fragen und meine Antworten:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Was ist das Verrückteste, das du jemals gemacht hast?</strong></span><br />
Ich bin als 16-Jährige mit meinem kleinen Bruder alleine zu Verwandten nach Australien und Neuseeland geflogen. Rückblickend hat dieser Trip entscheidend meine Zukunft geprägt, meine Reiselust geweckt und  – um es mal ganz kitschig zu beschreiben – die Liebe für die englische Sprache entfacht.</li>
<li><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Welche drei Schlagworte beschreiben deinen Blog?<br />
</strong><span style="color: #333333;">Expat Life, USA, Rückkehr nach Deutschland<strong><br />
</strong></span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Wie sieht ein perfekter Samstagabend aus?</strong></span><br />
Bei Kerzenschein mit einem eisgekühlten Bier den Crickets auf unserer Back Porch lauschen.</li>
<li><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Wie lautet Dein Ratschlag an neue Blogger?</strong><br />
</span>Einfach loslegen und sich ausprobieren. Den perfekten Post, das perfekte Design, die perfekte Strategie gibt es eh nicht. Am besten lernt man on the way.</li>
<li><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Welches Reiseziel hat dich besonders beeindruckt und warum?</strong></span><br />
Überraschenderweise hat mich Disneyworld besonders beeindruckt. Die Reise haben wir eigentlich hauptsächlich für die Kinder gemacht, hatten selber keine hohen Erwartungen und auch nicht wirklich viel Lust. Und dann? Dann war es einfach MAGICAL! Wenn man als Eltern die Vorfreude der Kinder miterleben darf, in glückliche Kindergesichter blickt, wenn sie die Arme um Mickey Mouse, Elsa oder Ariel schlingen und auch ein Jahr später noch alle ganz beglückt von diesem Urlaub erzählen – das war und ist einfach was ganz besonderes.</li>
<li><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Gibt es einen Blogtext, der dir besonders am Herzen liegt und warum?<br />
</strong> <span style="color: #333333;">Wenn es um meine eigenen Texte geht, dann sind das auf jeden Fall die <a href="https://tinabusch.com/expat-interview/">Interviews</a>, die ich mit den Expat-Partnerinnen über die Rückkehr in die Heimat geführt habe. Es macht mir total viel Spaß, mehr über Menschen, ihre Lebensgeschichte und Erfahrungen und ihre Zukünftspläne zu erfahren.<strong><br />
</strong></span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Was wolltest du als Kind von Beruf werden und was machst du jetzt beruflich?</strong></span><br />
Gute Frage. Eine Zeit lang wollte ich mal Anwältin werden – das lag vielleicht an Ally McBeal – und ich wollte schon immer die Welt entdecken. Deshalb habe ich auch Anglistik mit dem Schwerpunkt &#8222;Interkulturelle Kommunikation&#8220; studiert. Heute arbeite ich als Übersetzerin, Autorin und Bloggerin.</li>
<li><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Hat sich deine Art zu bloggen im Laufe der Zeit verändert?</strong></span><br />
Absolut! Ich gehe meine Posts mittlerweile strategischer an, überlege, mit welchen Themen ich ein größeres Publikum erreichen kann. Doktore nicht mehr tagelang an einem Text rum und hab auch kein schlechtes Gewissen, wenn es für ein paar Tage mal nichts Neues zu lesen gibt. Bei mir ist das Bloggen sowieso ein Prozess, der sich ständig verändert, weil ich fast jeden Tag etwas Neues dazu lerne. Gerade deshalb macht mir das Bloggen so wahnsinnig viel Spaß!</li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #008080;">Welche drei Dinge dürfen auf dem perfekten Frühstückstisch nicht fehlen?</span> </strong><br />
Ciabatta Brötchen von Publix, Gouda und eine Kanne mit frisch aufgebrühtem Ostfriesen-Tee.</li>
<li><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Wann und wo bloggst du am liebsten?</strong></span><br />
Vormittags an meinem Schreibtisch mit einem Cafe Latte neben dem Computer.</li>
<li><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>Was waren deine Vorsätze für 2016 und hält du dich daran?</strong><br />
</span>In diesem Jahr habe ich keine konkreten Vorsätze aufgeschrieben, obwohl ich damit 2015 sehr gute Erfahrungen gemacht habe. Aber da sich in diesem Jahr alles um unseren Umzug nach Deutschland dreht, versuche ich mich an mein Jahresmotto &#8222;Be present&#8220; zu halten. Ich genieße das Hier und Jetzt, speichere die schönen Momente ab und konzentriere mich auf die Menschen und Situationen, die aktuell Bedeutung haben.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Meine Nominierungen für den Liebster Award 2016:<br />
</strong>Unter meinen Nominierungen finden die regelmäßigen Leser meines Blogs einige bekannte Blogger-Gesichter, aber auch ein paar neue Entdeckungen:</p>
<ul>
<li>Jonna von <a href="http://www.expatmamas.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Expatmamas.de</a> lade ich mit der Nominierung &#8222;offiziell&#8220; in die Blogging-Welt ein.</li>
<li>Yasemin von <a href="http://yps-world.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">YPs world</a> ist meine liebste <a href="https://tinabusch.com/expat-life/tina-und-yasemin-ein-briefwechsel-2-0-uber-das-expat-leben/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Blogger-Brieffreundin</a> und darf auf dieser Liste nicht fehlen.</li>
<li>Tanja von <a href="http://tafjora.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Tafjora – einmal Frankreich und zurück – c&#8217;est ma vie </a>hat mich mit ihrem Post über die <a href="http://tafjora.blogspot.de/2015/03/you-will-never-be-completely-at-home.html?m=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Rückkehr nach Deutschland</a> sehr bewegt.</li>
<li>Nicole von <a href="http://dailydress.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">dailydress</a> wollte ich schon lange wieder kontaktieren, weil wir letztes Jahr so viel Spaß mit der #wfmsayitselfie-Challenge auf Instagram hatten.</li>
<li>Und meine real-life Freundin Megan möchte ich ermuntern, mit ihrem Blog <a href="http://slattonfamily.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">The Slattons</a> den nächsten Schritt zu wagen.</li>
</ul>
<p>Meine 11 Fragen für Euch:</p>
<ol>
<li>Welche Ziele hast Du mit Deinem Blog?</li>
<li>Über welches Thema schreibst Du am Liebsten?</li>
<li>Gibt es ein Thema, über das Du gerne schreiben möchtest, Dich aber nicht traust? Wer oder was steht dem im Weg?</li>
<li>Wo siehst Du Dich und Deinen Blog in 2 Jahren?</li>
<li>Wie viel Zeit steckst Du in Deinen Blog?</li>
<li>Was ist aktuell Dein größtes Blog-Problem?</li>
<li>Welches Buch, welcher Artikel hat Dich in letzter Zeit zum Nachdenken gebracht und warum?</li>
<li>Wie heißt Deine aktuelle Lieblings-TV/Netflix/Amazon Prime etc.-Serie?</li>
<li>Wo befindet sich Dein Lieblingsplatz?</li>
<li>Ohne _____ geht bei Dir gar nichts.</li>
<li>Was ist Dein Herzenswunsch?</li>
</ol>
<p>Vielen Dank für&#8217;s Mitmachen!</p>
<p><strong>Und hier nochmal die Regeln für den Liebster Award 2016:</strong></p>
<p><em>Der Liebster Award unterstützt besonders neue Blogs, um in der Bloggerwelt bekannter zu werden. Aber auch für alte Hasen ist der Liebster Award natürlich eine gute Möglichkeit, noch bekannter zu werden. Der Liebster Award ist eine Vernetzung zwischen Bloggern und funktioniert ganz einfach: Ein Blogger wird von einem anderen Blogger nominiert, beantwortet die gestellten Fragen auf seinem Blog, stellt selbst wieder Fragen und nominiert erneut Blogs für den Liebster Award.</em></p>
<ul>
<li><em>Beantwortet die 11 Fragen, die euch gestellt wurden und veröffentlicht sie auf eurer Seite. Wer über die Fragen hinaus Fakten über sich präsentieren möchte, kann dies in einem eigenen Blog tun: Fakten über mich (bis zu 11 möglich); wer mit den Fragen gar nichts anfangen kann, darf sie ausnahmsweise auch mal gegen Fakten austauschen; sollte das dann aber auch entsprechend begründen.</em></li>
<li><em>Bedankt euch bei der Person, die euch nominiert hat, und verlinkt sie auf Eurer Seite. Falls möglich, hinterlasst auf ihrem Blog einen entsprechenden Kommentar, in dem ihr auch für andere sichtbar den Award annehmt.</em></li>
<li><em>Kopiert das Emblem oder holt euch ein zu euch passendes aus dem Netz und stellt es sichtbar auf die Award-Seite, so dass der Liebster Award nach außen hin sichtbar ist und bleibt.</em></li>
<li><em>Denkt euch 11 neue Fragen für die Blogger aus, die ihr nominieren wollt und stellt die Fragen auf euren Blog.</em></li>
<li><em>Kopiert die Regeln und stellt sie ebenfalls auf euren Blog, damit die Nominierten wissen, was sie zu tun haben.</em></li>
<li><em>Nominiert zwischen 2 und 11 neue Blogger, die ihr gerne weiterempfehlen wollt. Das sollten möglichst solche sein, die noch wenig bekannt sind, aber empfehlenswerte Inhalte bieten. Wer möchte, kann sich dabei an die 200er – 3000er Follower / Leser Regel halten, also solche Blogs empfehlen, die unterhalb dieser Zahlen liegen.</em></li>
<li><em>Stellt die neuen Nominierungen auf eurer Seite vor und gebt den jeweiligen Bloggern eure Nominierung persönlich bekannt. Empfohlen wird, dafür die Kommentarfunktion auf den jeweiligen Blogs zu nutzen, falls diese passend ist. </em><em>Empfohlen wird auch, die jeweils Nominierten vorab zu fragen, ob sie überhaupt mitmachen wollen, damit sie sich nicht überfallen fühlen. </em><em>Viel Spaß!</em></li>

And it was so much more than that: incredibly good and professional speakers, a schedule packed with tons of information, all sorts of goodies from sponsors open for collaborations, cool fun parties every day (all day), and the most inspiring, creative and stylish (!) crowd I&#8217;ve ever been a part of. My head is still spinning, my office is still a mess, and I still have the biggest smile on my face. </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Want to know more about <a href="http://www.altitudesummit.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ALT</a>? I thought I&#8217;d walk you briefly through the conference day by day, since I know that a lot of you have no idea how a blog conference (in the United States) looks like. Guess what? Neither did I! I&#8217;m also going to share my biggest takeaways from the sessions I attended. Let&#8217;s go!<br />
</strong></span></p>

<h3><span id="more-1689"></span>ALT Summit 2016 – Day 1</h3>
<p>I flew out to Salt Lake City, Utah, on a Wednesday, checked into my hotel and walked two blocks to the conference venue: <a href="http://www.grandamerica.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">The Grand America Hotel</a> – one of the most beautiful hotels I&#8217;ve ever seen (I&#8217;ll write a separate post about it later). Bright yellow ALT signs led the way to the registration desk where I got my name tag and swag bag (= a goodie bag).</p>
<p><a href="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT-signs.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-1704"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-1704 size-full" src="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT-signs.jpg" alt="Alt Summit 2016 sign" width="600" height="600" srcset="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT-signs.jpg 600w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT-signs-150x150.jpg 150w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT-signs-300x300.jpg 300w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT-signs-210x210.jpg 210w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p>The Early Bird Sessions had already started, so I dived (dove for Non-Southeners ;-) right in:</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The topic?</strong></span><strong> Designing a Life you Love</strong><br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The speaker?</strong></span> <a href="http://www.samanthaettus.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Samantha Ettus</a><br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>My takeaway?</strong></span> Share your personal story and explain what holds you back. A solution might come from the person sitting next to you.</p>
<p>Samantha asked for volunteers in the audience who would be willing to share their stories. Looking back now I&#8217;m really surprised that throughout the conference I connected with almost all of these women who volunteered beyond a simple business card exchange. Must have been so much easier for me to approach them since they had already given me a glimpse into their personal life.</p>
<p>After that I attended a delicious dinner sponsored by <a href="http://www.minted.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Minted</a> and took my first ever (!) <a href="https://www.uber.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Uber</a> ride back to my hotel.</p>
<h3>ALT Summit 2016 – Day 2</h3>
<p>The next day started with four keynote talks in the Grand Ballroom. My favorite keynote was given by Mariam Nacify, the CEO of <a href="http://www.minted.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Minted</a> – she talked about the history and the future of shopping and how we as bloggers are going to be the content curators for the masses. Loved it!</p>
<p><a href="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT-MariamNacify.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-1705"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-1705 size-full" src="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT-MariamNacify.jpg" alt="Alt Summit 2016 Mariam Nacify Minted" width="782" height="600" srcset="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT-MariamNacify.jpg 782w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT-MariamNacify-300x230.jpg 300w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT-MariamNacify-768x589.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 782px) 100vw, 782px" /></a><span style="color: #999999;"><em>Photo taken by <a style="color: #999999;" href="http://www.JustinHackworth.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Justin Hackworth</a> or <a style="color: #999999;" href="http://www.ThePhotographerandTheMusician.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Brooke Dennis</a> for <a style="color: #999999;" href="http://www.altitudesummit.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Alt Summit</a></em></span></p>
<p>And sorry that I have to name drop here, but Sarah Michelle Gellar was also one of the keynote speakers, presenting her company <a href="https://foodstirs.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Foodstirs</a>.</p>
<p>My day continued with these breakout sessions:</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The topic?</strong></span> <strong>How To Find Your Way To Your Dream Job</strong><br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The speakers?</strong></span> <a href="http://supermakeit.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Jodi Levine</a>, <a href="http://amandakingloff.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Amanda Kingloff</a>, <a href="http://www.rachelhofstetter.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Rachel Hoffstetter</a><br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>My takeaway?</strong><span style="color: #808080;"> Do everything that you do well. You never know who is watching. / Just ask. If they say no, ask again. Eventually someone will say yes. / Allow yourself time to step away and play.<br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The topic?</strong></span> <strong>The First Steps to Making Money With Your Blog</strong><br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The speakers?</strong></span> <a href="http://www.onelittleminuteblog.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Miranda Anderson</a>, <a href="http://www.sycamorestreetpress.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Eva Jorgensen</a>, <a href="http://www.copycatchic.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Reichel Broussard</a>, and the one and only <a href="http://thealisonshow.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Alison Faulkner</a><br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>My takeaway?</strong><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="color: #808080;"> Brand don&#8217;t only need numbers – they need your creativity. / Keep a spreadsheet of all the companies you would like to work with. / Sign up for an affiliate program; embed the code directly to your blog and not to every single post.</span> <span style="color: #808080;">/ With online courses you can connect to your audience on a completely new level.</span> <span style="color: #808080;">/ Become a problem-solver for your audience.</span><br />
</span></span></p>
<p><a href="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT_breakout-sessions.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-1700"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1700" src="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT_breakout-sessions.jpg" alt="Alt Summit breakout sessions" width="1834" height="1836" srcset="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT_breakout-sessions.jpg 1834w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT_breakout-sessions-150x150.jpg 150w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT_breakout-sessions-300x300.jpg 300w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT_breakout-sessions-768x769.jpg 768w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT_breakout-sessions-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT_breakout-sessions-210x210.jpg 210w" sizes="(max-width: 1834px) 100vw, 1834px" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The topic?</strong></span> Podcasting 101<br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The speakers?</strong></span> <a href="http://www.bossgirlcreative.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Taylor Bradford</a>, <a href="http://www.thebirthhour.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bryn Huntpalmer</a><br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>My takeaway?</strong><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="color: #808080;"> How to start a podcast, get noticed on iTunes, which equipment I would need and that I could either edit the podcast myself (in Garageband) or hire a freelance editor. Oh, and also that nobody likes to hear their own voice in the beginning, but everybody gets used to it eventually!</span><br />
</span></span></p>
<p>The day ended with a party. The theme: Starry Starry Night!</p>
<h3>ALT Summit 2016 – Day 3</h3>
<p>On my third day I headed straight to the help desk where you could talk to various experts and ask for advice. I talked to <a href="http://sayyes.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Liz Stanley</a>, a blogging coach, and asked her in which direction I should go with my blog in terms of reaching a bigger audience and broaden my topics. She had some really good advice and I think she pushed me in the right direction. Hopefully you will be able (and approve of!) to see the changes here soon.</p>
<p>After that I headed straight to the Roundtables – 19 experts covering various blog-related topics in very short mini sessions. I won&#8217;t bore you with the details; you get a good impression of my direction by simply scanning over the topics.</p>
<ul>
<li><b>All about the Google AdWords Keyword Planner</b> <a href="http://www.creatingreallyawesomefreethings.com/author/jamie/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Jamie Dorobek</a> (pictured below)</li>
<li><b>Write a Book Proposal That Can’t Be Ignored</b> <a href="http://&gt;&gt;&gt; http://tinkerlab.com/blog/ &gt;&gt;&gt; Kid craft round-up" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Rachelle Doorley</a></li>
<li><b>How To Get a Book Deal, Make The Book And Promote It</b> <a href="http://mermagblog.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Merrilee Liddiard</a></li>
<li><b>What You Need To Know To Hire a Website Designer</b> <a href="http://joannadee.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Joanna Dee</a></li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT_roundtables1.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-1701"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1701" src="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT_roundtables1.jpg" alt="Alt Summit roundtables" width="600" height="600" srcset="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT_roundtables1.jpg 600w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT_roundtables1-150x150.jpg 150w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT_roundtables1-300x300.jpg 300w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT_roundtables1-210x210.jpg 210w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p>As if my head wasnt&#8217;t already full of ideas, there were still three more breakout sessions to got to:</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The topic:</strong> </span><strong>Beginning Social Media</strong><br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The speakers:</strong></span> <a href="http://sparrowsoireesblog.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Asia Rau Vinton</a>, <a href="https://www.bloguettes.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Lorena Garcia</a>, <a href="https://www.bloguettes.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Sakura Considine<br />
</a><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>My takeaway:</strong></span> Treat your Facebook page as a landing page since everybody is using it. / Brand your grid on Instagram. / Pinterest works. It just takes time. / Share the love by curating content throughout the week.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The topic:</strong> </span><strong>How To Win At Content (In a Platform Driven World)</strong><br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The speakers: </strong></span><a href="http://apracticalwedding.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Meg Keene</a>, <a href="http://apracticalwedding.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Maddie Eisenhart<br />
</a><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>My takeaway:</strong><span style="color: #333333;"> Nowadays everything is a blog. So how do I get people to me? L</span></span>ook at the metrics to find out what really works. Focus on that. Update, optimize and repurpose (good) old content on social media. Promote your page by paying the minimal advertising amount. Otherwise it will NEVER show up in people&#8217;s feed. That&#8217;s just how Facebook works.</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The topic?</strong></span> <strong>Workshop: Build Your Business Like a Boss + Learn How To Charge What You Are Worth</strong><br />
<span style="color: #008080;"><strong>The speaker?</strong></span> <a href="http://www.thecollectiveofus.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cyndie Spiegel<br />
</a><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>My takeaway?</strong></span> You get back what you put out there. / Become comfortable in talking about finances. / You can always change the price – it&#8217;s your business.</p>
<p>And finally,<a href="http://elleluna.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Elle Luna</a>, the speaker of the closing keynote, gave a very inspirational, almost spiritual talk on creativity.</p>
<p>ALT Summit 2016 ended with 7 Mini Parties, one more fun than the other: Paparazzi Ready, Bring Home the Bacon, Marshmallow Mingle&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT-MiniParty1.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-1702"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1702" src="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT-MiniParty1.jpg" alt="Alt Summit Mini Party Marshmallow" width="600" height="600" srcset="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT-MiniParty1.jpg 600w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT-MiniParty1-150x150.jpg 150w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT-MiniParty1-300x300.jpg 300w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT-MiniParty1-210x210.jpg 210w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p><a href="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT-MiniParty2.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-1703"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1703" src="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT-MiniParty2.jpg" alt="Alt Summit Mini Party emoji" width="600" height="601" srcset="https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT-MiniParty2.jpg 600w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT-MiniParty2-150x150.jpg 150w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT-MiniParty2-300x300.jpg 300w, https://tinabusch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ALT-MiniParty2-210x210.jpg 210w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p>I flew back to Atlanta on Saturday, but not without saying good-bye to the beautiful Grand America hotel and getting a surprise (or two) for my family.</p>
<h4>My Steps Forward?</h4>
<p>I have at least 1.000 new ideas for blog posts. I also want to write a book, pitch an article, produce a podcast, sign up for affiliate programs, hire a web designer, design an e-course, approach sponsors, collaborate with other bloggers&#8230; Oh, the places I could go!!! Haven&#8217;t I told you that my head is spinning??? Yes, I know the truth. I won&#8217;t be able to realize all of the above mentioned. At least not at the same time. Ha! Stay tuned.</p>
<p>Next blog conferences on my list? <a href="http://www.blogst.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BLOGST 2016</a> in Berlin, Germany, <a href="http://www.altitudesummit.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ALT Summit 2017</a> in Palm Springs, California, and <a href="http://blogtacular.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Blogtacular</a> 2017 in London! Hey, a girl can dream, right?</p>
<p><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>PS: You know what the best part of the entire trip was? Coming home in the middle of the night, sneaking into the kids&#8216; rooms and seeing their cute little faces. There might have been a tear or two ;-)</strong></span></p>

<p><span id="more-1662"></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;">I&#8217;m excited, I&#8217;m nervous, I know but a single person (hey Autumn ;-)), I&#8217;m overwhelmed already and I don&#8217;t have a plan (which is so not me). So today I&#8217;m going to:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #808080;"> print the schedule, </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #808080;">sort out all my outfits (with a last-minute trip to the mall to buy a skirt for the &#8222;Starry Night&#8220; party), </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #808080;">pack my bags, </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #808080;">update my podcast library and Kindle with new material, </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #808080;">and try not to worry about my family (strep throat, coughs and runny noses, work and more work). They&#8217;ll be fine! </span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color: #808080;">As for me, my plan is to learn a lot, meet new people, make some great connections and have a LOT of fun! If you want to follow along, head over to <a href="https://instagram.com/tina_busch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">my Instagram account</a> where I&#8217;ll keep you updated on what&#8217;s happening at ALT. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;"><span style="color: #008080;"><strong>See you back here next week :-)</strong></span><br />
