You are right, I did noticed that some people lost interest after I sent out the details about the event, and I agree with you!
But also think that it's worth giving it a shot, I think that in order to get something you have to give something in return. People like free stuff, and a way both (the reader & blogger) win is by promoting their site on something as simple as a business card, pen/pencil, pins, magnets, etc...
I want people to take it one step farther by putting a lil more interest/meaning to their blog by promoting it outside of the World Wide Web.

The requirement to bring something, other than themselves, could be a bit of a barrier to many, Arie. I like the idea of being able to offer attendees something but I think it could end up preventing people from coming along unless they specifically have an array of schwag to select from.

Hi,

Nice Article. I need your advice on something. I'm a blogger for KMPblog.com, and I am planning a Blogger Event in NYC, for bloggers and blog readers to network. I am asking bloggers to come up with 50 promo items to be put in a gift bag to give to the first 50 guests to arrive to the event. The event is also to help promote our blogs and get more traffic. I am also trying to get some sponsors or other bloggers that cannot attend the event to provide items for the gift bags as well. I want your opinion on whether you think this event is a great idea and where/who I can ask to sponsor my event.
Thanks in advanced,

Arie Rich

A 'fancy cocktail'? Ha! Gin & Tonic will be just fine thank you very much... :P

Joking aside, glad you put this list together - genuinely good advice. The key thing to take away from this is that we all have day jobs. MIR doesn't pay the bills, we do it for the love of the thing...

We *want* to write about COOL STUFF. Show us COOL STUFF and we'll write about it!

If after all that you are still confused about how to engage with bloggers and influencers, talk to the two gentlemen above (Patrick Smith and Will Mcinnes). They are both thoroughly nice chaps who will get your product in front of the correct people.

Some very good pointers indeed.

I echo James on item 17. We are only Human after all. Same interests, different points of view, and experiences, its this which makes it more fun, challenging, and innovative.

Nice! No. 9 is my personal favourite!

Only kidding, obviously No.17 is the most important.

Ewan, nice article and a few good pointers there - thanks.

All, I'd just like to point out that my website is currently an embarrassment and while I appreciate Ewan's link I'm actually going to ask that you hold off from visiting it for a while - I'll come back on here and let you know when it's up properly. :-)
