Domestic Debacle is going to Blogher ‘10 and needs your help! For those that don’t know, Blogher is a very popular event as well as the largest convention for bloggers and brands to network, socialize, build stronger online communities and form lasting relationships. Being able to attend the conference with the assistance of sponsors not only helps me build new relationships and strengthen existing ones, but it’s an excellent way to get your business, product or service noticed by the Internet’s most influential social networkers and bloggers in the world! By sponsoring me for the conference, you would be hiring someone who will work her butt off to get your name out there and who will properly represent your company and brand. Not to mention that through DomesticDebacle.com you’ll be reaching an average of 15,800 visitors per month, and over 7,900 subscribers (current as of 2/28/10). I also have over 200 Facebook Fans and more than 1,900 Twitter followers!

What is Blogher ‘10 anyway?

Blogher is one of the largest conventions for bloggers and businesses to network and create relationships. During the convention there will be speakers that share their expertise on leadership, micro blogging, mommy blogging, social media, SEO, publishing, online networking and keynote speakers. There will also be down time during the convention where bloggers and companies can meet together and connect, promote and exchange ideas.

Building on the momentum of four consecutive sold-out annual conferences, BlogHer ’10 will bring bloggers from every corner of the blogosphere together for hands-on learning, rich discussions, opportunities to meet with the brands that support them and plentiful networking opportunities. BlogHer ’10 will take place on August 6-7, bringing nearly two thousand attendees together.

One of the number one reasons we all attend BlogHer every year, whether coming for the first time or as an old-timer, is to meet our online community “in real life”. It is a great time to celebrate the fact that our blogging, whether personal, professional or political, has brought us real work, real friends, real satisfaction and is most definitely a significant part of our real life!

BlogHer is open to anyone and everyone who considers themselves part of the blogosphere; BlogHer is particularly focused on highlighting the skills and talents of women who blog. All genders, ages, ethnicities, and levels of blogging experience are encouraged to attend! We promise there’s something for everyone. (And in case you’re curious, about 10-15% of attendees are men.)

Sounds like a great opportunity! What’s it cost?
