OUR PROPOSED PLAN OF 
BLOGGING ACTION 
FOR BLOGFEST 2013:

09:30 - 10:00 - Registration & Bacon Butties on Arrival
( (V) on request, please mention when booking)

10:00 - 10:15 - Welcome from Miss Sue Flay...
Of "The Secluded Tea Party" & an Intro into her Blogging world, of which she is stupidly addicted to, including an unhealthy obsession with Twitter & Pinterest... But it helps to get her name out there, inspires her magazine columns (of which she writes for The "Cambridgeshire Journal Magazine") & helps to gain her TV appearances, such as the "BBC One Show" & "Escape to the Country" of which she is very proud of!

10:15 - 11:15 - Guest Speaker: ReeRee Rockette of "Rockalily"...
Creating your social media strategy - from basics to upping your game

ReeRee Rockette returns to The Secluded Tea Party's Blogfest for her second time as a guest speaker, Motivating the room with her passion for doing business in her own way, and her more recent opening of her own hair salon (despite not being a hairdresser). She'll share her love and mild addiction to social media and marketing, and hopefully inspire you with her knowledge, thoughts & advice on all aspects of pimping your own business as she talks about her journey from blog to brand.

ReeRee Rockette believes that we live the life we choose, so when she got bored with her teaching career, she decided to change it. From being a blogger, to starting a lipstick brand, to running a business group and now opening a hair salon, she's ambitious and driven to succeed.
