w How did you come up with the idea of the workshop? I began receiving emails from people who wanted to attend our in-person conference, but weren’t able to because of time, money, or family circumstances. I wanted to offer the same great content in a more flexible environment - year round, and in people’s homes - and was thrilled to realize there were affordable ways we could do this using the same format as distance learning. w What is the focus of your workshop? Why is it different to others? Our core purpose is to give bloggers tools and inspiration to improve their businesses. On the Alt Channel we do that by offering a variety of classes ranging from blogging basics to working with sponsors, basic web design to digital photography, and everything in between. It’s different because it’s very affordable and completely flexible and convenient.
