Luxurious accommodations for Food Blog University!

Just think if you went to a conference in the states how much you would spend between hotels, transportation, drinks with friends, childcare, etc.  You would wind up spending the same amount or more…..except this time you’ll be in paradise and learning in an intimate atmosphere (tickets are limited to 50 bloggers to give you individual time with the speakers).

So who are these fabulous Food Blog University speakers?

Food Blog University has an all star line up of speakers!  Each of the speakers has taken their blog and turned it into a successful family business.  The men behind the women were able to quit their corporate jobs and are now passionate about helping their wives be as successful as possible and share the secrets to that success with YOU!

Food Blog University Conference

I don’t think you can log onto Pinterest without seeing a delicious mouthwatering treat from Pinch of Yum!  Lindsay is an amazing food photographer and taught herself everything she knows.  Her passion lies in sharing those secrets with you.  Lindsay has written several books including Tasty Food Photography (my bible!), Everyday Healthy, and The Creamy Cauliflower Sauce ECookbook.

Bjork started sharing Lindsay’s income reports and saw a thirst from bloggers for more knowledge about how to achieve success so he started Food Blogger Pro.  He was able to quit his job and now they are a power blogging couple that reports incomes in the high six figures.  Can you imagine making $30,000 in ONE month…yes, what most teachers make in a year the Ostroms make in a single month!  I know I want to learn their secrets to success….don’t you?!

Join us at Food Blog University where Lindsay will be sharing tips and tricks for improving your photography skills.  There will be hands on sessions and a chance to work closely with Lindsay to really learn and improve your photos.  Bjork will be sharing the technical side of blogging and ways to make money beyond sponsored posts and ads.

Lisa and Jason Leake of 100 Days of Real Food and Pro Blog School

Lisa is the New York Times Best Selling Author of 100 Days of Real Food where she chronicles her journey and shares recipes on how she improved her family’s eating habits by giving up processed foods.  Her passion lies in teaching others the simple steps they can take to lead a healthier lifestyle and pay attention to what they eat.

As 100 Days of Real Food continued to grow Lisa started enlisting the help of her husband Jason.  As he started helping her with the technical and business side of her blog he started placing his entire paycheck into a savings account to see if they could live off her income alone.  After just 8 months he was able to quit his job because her income surpassed his own.  They have turned 100 Days of Real Food into a family business and even have help that they regularly employ.

Seeing the need of transparency in the blogging world Jason decided to start Pro Blog School.  He loves sharing and helping other bloggers reach their full potential with their blogs.

Have you ever thought about writing a book? Lisa is going to share her secrets to publishing success!  Don’t miss out….you could be the next New York Times Best Selling Author with her as your mentor!

This sounds like an amazing conference to attend! I am not a good food blogger (I focus mainly on parenting and family, but I do need to feed them!) I am always trying to learn more food blogging tips!
