If you’re a boutique owner, designer, photographer, stylist or just a lover of fashion and design you may have thought about starting your own blog to share your new ideas or promote your business. If you’ve thought about it…and that’s about as far as you’ve gone, I have a great resource for you!

When I first got started in the world of blogging and social networking I was incredibly overwhelmed. Do I use Blogger or Wordpress? To link or not to link? What is SEO and why should I care? What do all of these html buttons mean? And then I met Lucy Beer, a consultant to new bloggers who explained (in English) what the “blogosphere” was all about.

Lucy regularly teaches workshops called “Blogging for Your Business.” If you are in the L.A. area, this is a great opportunity to learn the basics of blogging, ask her questions, and learn how your business can benefit from being in touch with your customers regularly. She was a huge help to me and I know she would be a great resource for all of you, too.

What’s even better: She is offering LDB readers $10 off her regular $40 rate! Click here for more details about the workshop and make sure to tell her that I sent you (to ensure you get the discount).

You’ll be so glad you did! And when your blog is up, please let us know. I would love the opportunity to follow your business.

Best of luck!
