Animax Blogging Workshop
Been invited to give a small blogging workshop in Singapore with Animax Asia (I had nothing to do with the design of that landing page!) and would love to invite Singaporean bloggers who are dannychoo.com members to attend.
In the workshop I will cover such topics like:-
- Userbility and design
- How to monetize
- Nettiquette (sharing)
- How to generate traffic
- Tools to help bloggers
- Take questions
- And more
Would love to share the learnings I've had running dannychoo.com and get to meet you in person.
If you are interested in attending then send mail to [contests at animax-asia.com] and cc [support at dannychoo.com] with "Animax Blogging WorkShop Application" as the title of the mail and include:-
- Name
- E-mail address (in the body of mail)
- Contact number
- Blog url
- When you started to blog
- Blog genre
- dannychoo.com profile page url ( http://www.dannychoo.com/home/eng/danny/ )
The workshop date is November 19th and all applications should be in by the 14th of November. Looking forward to meet you!
Just a few things:-
- Dont have to be an anime/figure blogger.
- You must have been blogging for a while and be a regular blogger. Applicants who have just set up a blog or don't blog regularly wont qualify.
- No I'm not bringing my armor ^^;
- Venue location will be sent to attendees.
- Looks like seats are limited so they are making it a first come first serve thingy.
- its at 1:30 in the afternoon on a Wednesday which is probably not ideal (sorry) but Animax has already set the date.
- I am not staying for AFA as I need to be back in Japan for another event.
- Will be tied up in interviews before and after the event and head out to further meetings in the evening.
- Some folks have mentioned that they want to bring me stuff but please don't - just bring yourself.
- Not sure when I arrive or leave SG as more n more meetings are being scheduled ToT
- Hopefully you will bring your business card (name card) as I encourage you to network with other bloggers and the folks at Animax too.
Photo is of Animax Asia on the display with my lovely Tenko Kuugen - will post pics of her on the GSC site later today. Other photo taken from previous speaking engagement in Germany Trend Day earlier this year.

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.
If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

Someone bring a video camera when you go. I want to check this out, but as I live in the states, I won't be going.

I agree, I would love to see a torrent, or even a low quality version of this on youtube. Sounds pretty interesting.

Lots of interesting topics I really want to hear Danny's opinnion on.
I'd actually be willing to buy if it was made into a "video lesson" or something. :P

I fourth it! :D
A video would be great for us who can't be there.

I agree! If I had the money I'd buy a ticket to Singapore just for this, but since I don't, I'm just going to wish that Danny would have a similar event here in the Philippines. :D

Cause anime blogging has not been that prominent here in our country. That's the sad truth about it. If I also have my time, I want to spend my November 19 there with other bloggers who wants to know more.

Sounds awesome...any plans to do something like this in the U.S. Danny?...oh and have a blast there!

Oh dear..would love to attend but i'll be tied up with reservist at that week :(
I'd love to go but no offense but it's just not worth the money to me right now to go travel abroad just for a blogging workshop. If you were to come to the US to do this in the future I'd gladly get a plane ticket and fly to w/e state it was in and attend it.

Well, I am not sure if I will be overseas during that period, but I might go. I am personally not interested in monetizing THAT or any of the topics discussed at hand, but it will be fun nonetheless.
I wonder how many seats are available. I might just bring my video camera to record (needs to find that SD card @_@)

That said, I think there might be copyright issues if I record the whole event. Does Danny provide access for recording devices perhaps?

Sounds interesting. I never realised that blogging was such an industry until I came along to your site. To me, hosting websites and now blogging was always a hobby, and to share my creativity with the rest of the net. Seeing how the pros do it would be quite entertaining. Unfortunately, I'm deluged in work and don't travel much, unless it's a work thing ^_^;;
