To be fair, though, I would suppose that a bookseller's conference is more about selling books than the quality of the books themselves. And yes, too many hawkers...Rickflixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00851091100831706043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119893162712599171.post-37432294042113734092011-11-06T07:18:59.987-08:002011-11-06T07:18:59.987-08:00Very interesting.

At least from your review, there doesn't seem to have been any talk about providing *good* content (only a pass at analysis for profitable content). And for an "industry" where only 63% of full-time practitioners actually earn their living from it, perhaps a few too many people hawking "how to make money blogging" schemes. Thanks for the report - I do not regret not attending.Ken Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14352088132228110064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119893162712599171.post-22144982244643962662011-11-06T03:20:16.412-08:002011-11-06T03:20:16.412-08:00Vidcon was actually more than a thousand dollars l...Vidcon was actually more than a thousand dollars less for the entire event. Vidcon only dedicated one day to the "business" of vlogging, though, and was probably more a celebration than a trade show. It also skewed MUCH younger than BlogWorld. Partly because of that, and the fact that the Vlogging community is much newer, it was a more forward looking crowd. <br /><br />I think the blogging community could learn from the vlogging community. Interestingly enough, even though Blogworld called itself a new media conference, many young vloggers would have been turned away at the door.Rickflixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00851091100831706043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119893162712599171.post-82823065272658076712011-11-06T03:01:14.488-08:002011-11-06T03:01:14.488-08:00Interesting post Rich.

As your interviews have shown, many vloggers are looking for new ways of increasing their viewership & money making potential.<br />At least YT gives them the choice and opportunity should they want it. They seem to be forward looking.<br />Just out of interest, how did the cost compare to VidCon?Andy Guntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00402607157584209849noreply@blogger.com
