Want to monetize your blog? How about save money? I have fresh ideas on both topics that I’d love to share at your next event! I’ve spoken at writer’s conferences, entrepreneur summits, public libraries, college classes, bookstores, and to writing groups, private social groups and religious organizations. I cater my talks to the size and specific needs of your group.
Blogging - My presentation on 68 Ways to Monetize Your Blog or Website is in hot demand! I cover how to sell and price your own ads, affiliates and daily deal sites, writing for pay, offline events, selling your site, and the ethnics of monetization. I’ll also share a few examples of great rate sheets.
As far as blogging goes, I have given talks on everything from the basics to advanced ethical and business concepts, writing for print versus blogs, how to set up a blog, the basic technical skills you need to blog, how to promote your blog and network online, and the value of social networking.
Saving money - I discuss how to save on groceries, meals out, household bills, vacations, and much more. Includes hands-on activity where participants learn how to make a monthly budget. Talks include handouts with top money-saving Web sites and resources.

Testimonials
“As I knew would be true, you did a fabulous job last night! Thanks so much! Two students shouted to me, “Great speaker!” as they left the classroom last night. And a third said, don’t forget to post Julia’s presentation. You bring alive the reporter-to-entrepreneur transformation with such clarity and insight.” – David Westphal, professor, USC Annenberg School of Communications
“Your event was a big hit! The customers gave great feedback. Thank you.” – Tracy, Borders books in Thousand Oaks, Calif.
“Your presentation was outstanding. Thanks again for making time for our students.” – Linda, professor at California State University Northridge
“I’ve seen lots of speaker-type programs presented to various groups and yours would certainly rank in the Top 10! My friend, Mickie, couldn’t believe me when I told her that we were your first, you were so well prepared and poised.” – Marsha, Knesset B’nai Brith in Tarzana
“For such a young gal, you are very focused, you make your talk very interesting, and you bring in the audience as you’re speaking. I was very impressed with your demeanor, style, and content. You didn’t mince words and you didn’t waste words. You covered a complex topic in simple terms. The most important thing to writers is to glean something we didn’t know before. And, of course, to be entertained. You did both, and I can only applaud you. I would highly recommend you as a speaker!- Ethel, California Writers Club
