Conference Sponsorship Information

Thanks so much for your interest in sponsoring Homeschool Creations and having your product promoted! You probably would like to learn a little more about me and my site before deciding if Homeschool Creations is a blog you would like to sponsor.

A Few Details

• Blog Beginnings ~ Homeschool Creations began on December 18, 2007 as a means for me to track the things we were doing during our school time with our children. I already had another blog in place, No Ordinary Moments, for general family fun, but my homeschool blog quickly grew as I began writing curriculum reviews and getting to know other moms through blogging.

• Primary Focus of Homeschool Creations: Currently I share about our geography studies, toddler and preschool ideas, Bible time and printables, and also various curriculum resources for families.

Homeschool Creations is written only by myself ~ Jolanthe Erb. I also write No Ordinary Moments, co-manage Totally Tots and occasionally write for Heart of the Matter Online. I am also active in our local homeschool co-op and activities.

The Relevant Conference

The Relevant Conference is focused toward Christian women bloggers and will be an opportunity for me to be face-to-face with other homeschooling moms. While I am a very social person, this excites me more than anything ~ being able to connect with other women who are at a similar place in life and being able to share and learn with them!

I am looking for a sponsor to assist in travel, conference fee, and hotel costs for the upcoming Relevant Conference in October 2010. If you would be willing to sponsor me for the Relevant Conference, it will give me the opportunity to make more connections in the blog world, learn even more about networking from some amazing ladies in the blogging world, and also teach me more about how to grow my blog ~ ultimately giving you more exposure!

        Estimated costs: 

• conference registration ~ $225 
• hotel ~ $185
• travel/fuel expenses ~ $65 fuel

Total: $475

There will be approximately 250 in attendance at the conference, many who have a large sphere of influence in the blog world and social media. You can see a list of the amazing speakers here.
