Bloggers to meet in Birmingham, Huntsville

Lawanda Stevenson and Wade at the Rocket City Bloggers networking event

Blogging is more fun with a friend. I may have started out on my own, but I’ve learned just about everything from other bloggers.

They know how to build big fan bases, design themes, excite readers and make money.

Let me introduce you to two groups in Alabama that bring bloggers together.

The first group is Birmingham Bloggers, which took off earlier this year. Beth Branch, Meredith Davis and Molly Moon feature local blogs and bloggers on their site and have held two meetups.

The group is planning a gathering for later this month: Check the event page for details soon. Follow @BhamBloggers on Twitter, or follow the Facebook page.

The second group is Rocket City Bloggers, founded in 2011. It features Huntsville blogs and bloggers on the site and holds monthly dining meetups.

Last week, I stopped by for the Connect! event, a networking event at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center for businesses and bloggers. I had a great time catching up with my Huntsville friends and meeting new ones.

The next two events are the July 22 lunch “bloggle” at I Love Sushi [Facebook event page] and an Aug. 16 social media workshop [Facebook event page]. Both are free.

Follow @RCBloggers on Twitter, and join the Facebook group or follow the Facebook page.

I hope to meet you soon at a blogger event!
