Glenda’s recap of day two sessions covers major points from several sessions, including book deals, digital assets and corporate sponsorships
Ducksnorts, a sports blogger, summed up blog and book marketability highlights: “The panelists focused on the importance of marketability, with the two big lessons here being that price is all about perceived value and that you always want to keep your end game in mind, ensuring that everything you’re doing is pulling you in that direction.”
