Making the Most out of WordCamps

Posted: 18 Jun 2012 07:02 AM PDT

This guest post is by Austin Gunter of WPEngine.com

If you've spent enough time working with WordPress, you've come across the ubiquitous "WordCamps" and probably asked the question, "What the heck is a WordCamp?" Hopefully at this point you're considering attending a local one, and you want to know, "How can I make the most out of my weekend?"

This is a good post to read before you go. It will help you make a conference plan to maximize your weekend. There's a lot you can get out of a WordCamp, so let's help you decide what that is!

Before I leave for a conference, I always start by understanding what sorts of people will attend. Depending on the city, a WordCamp will have 50 to ~1000 folks attending. This will include expert WordPress developers and designers, site owners, marketers, sponsors, and complete and total noobs. A common misconception is that WordCamps are for expert users, but that's not true! WordCamps are perfect for newbies just getting started.

The local WordPress rockstars will show up, and the people who are still getting their feet wet will show up too….BUT…

Everyone attending WordCamps has the same four goals:

  • To learn more about WordPress
  • Share their knowledge with others
  • Connect with more people in the community
  • Grow their WordPress-based business

Which of those four goals fits your current goals? As you think about that, it becomes easy to make a conference plan, but you'll still have some basic questions about the conference.

Questions like:

What should I wear to a WordCamp? Follow the culture of the conference. WordCamps are casual affairs. Shorts, graphic t-shirts, and even flip-flops are going to be acceptable at most WordCamps. Think open-source or startup software developers dresscode. That means dress in a way that makes you comfortable. As long as you don't show up in a suit and a tie, you'll fit right in.

Should I bring my laptop to the event? Yes. Every screen you have that can tweet, email, post blogs, whatever, bring it. You want to be able to interact with your WordPress site while you're there. For example, you may want to ask questions at the Happiness Bar, and make changes to your site on the spot!

What about Twitter? Tweet every chance you get. Find out what the event hashtag is, and start sharing the highlights from each talk you go to, or tweet hi to the people you've just met in person. Twitter is an amazing way to keep in touch with all those people long term, and you'll gain some followers along the way.

Can I meet developers and designers at a WordCamp? WordCamps are amazing places to meet potential developers for a WordPress site. If you need a developer for a project, set a goal to meet 5 developers (which should be easy), get their contact info, and then discuss your project over email with them.

How can I learn to develop a business on WordPress? WordCamps are designed to freely spread information, so it's an appropriate place to come and ask questions about how to use WordPress for your business. This year at WordCamp Austin, I met some marketers who came with a set of objectives they wanted to achieve for a new site. They knew some of the the objectives could be met with plugins, and wanted advice about which plugins were optimal. For example, which plugin should they use to collect emails? Or, which plugin will add a social network aspect?

These folks weren't shy about asking for help, and you shouldn't be either! If you can do all the work yourself, awesome! If you need help implementing a solution, ask them what their rates are!

Should I give advice to other folks? Helping people start something by giving them advice or insight at a WordCamp is good karma, and it will always come back to you in spades. If you have expertise in something, share it with the community.

What about after parties? My rule on after parties is to go if you have the energy left. You've already invested the time and money to attend the conference, so you should take advantage of everything offered. You never know who you will meet. I typically organize an impromptu after-after party, as long as it doesn't conflict with the official party (Check with the organizers!). Recently, I helped set up "CigarCamp" after this years WordCamp in Austin.

Should I speak at WordCamp? The answer to this question is always yes. If you have a topic that you're an expert on, and it relates to WordPress, or it provides value to people who are using WordPress to create things, then you should always submit a topic. Speaking is one of the best ways to build your brand and your business.

Before you start making excuses, you don't have to be a WordPress genius to give a talk at a WordCamp. You just have to know how to do something cool with WordPress. For example, there are a LOT of people who are better at developing WordPress than I am. However, I've spent the last 3 years of my life using WordPress to build communities, and I have spent a lot of time testing the right ways to integrate social media into WordPress. I've taken that expertise and give a talk at WordCamps called "Developing Digital Marketing into your WordPress." Ask yourself, "What do I know that I can contribute to the community?"

There you go. That's a good overview of how to make the most out of WordCamps. If you think I missed something, or you've got another tip for other folks, leave it in the comments! We'll read all of them.

The Function of All Casino Bonuses


by Krista I. Burt


Online gambling entertainment is quite well-known these days. Lots of people see wagering all casino bonuses to be quite the recreational activity. Some people play simply to pass the time while others play with purpose. As opposed to various other online activities, casinos have a unique patronage because it provides both the possibility to make a lot of money by chance and also the chance of losing it in the same way.

There are two kinds of online gambling establishments. The first one is the download type online games software. They are the ones wherein you'll first need to download a program, the user's interface where you would really play. The second type would be the one wherein you can play on the web browser itself, they're known as the internet based online gambling games. These sites are recognized to be the ones that offer all casino bonuses in general.

The rewards are basically free cash or playing credits with which you may play to win real cash. They're promotional devices meant to inspire users just like you and me to play or continue playing. All casino bonuses differ in frequency and size.

There are several casinos that offer incentives which are up to four times the amount you will place in to qualify for. These are meant to stimulate fresh cash flow into the online gambling house pool. In addition, it motivates the player to spend or add to what he or she has already spent to keep on playing.

There are also some casinos giving bonuses at random. They are fascinating promotions whereby you qualify for just being registered. This is similar to the bonuses that are offered for playing. You qualify for this incentive by just playing online. These house credits are made to encourage you to keep on playing and using whatever amount you've put in the system along with those you have already won.

These all casino bonuses are mostly bore from marketing strategies by the companies owning the online gambling sites providing them. They are originally designed to increase the casinos revenues that consequently raises their earnings. However, the fact that these promotions ultimately benefit the online casino companies themselves does not automatically imply that they're bad for you and also the rest of the clients of these gambling sites.

These bonuses cannot be farther in nature to frauds or schemes intended to defraud users. These perks provide the users or online players wagering online with a good deal of benefit which makes these promotions equally good for them.

These bonuses are real and can just as simply be converted into cash or perhaps be utilized as playing credits and stand to win real money. These are not traps or fake guarantees that only seek to take more and more from the players. In relation to these genuine cash promotions, you might have to do some type of investment, but rest assured that you stand to win or enjoy real rewards. It's really a matter of appropriately managing your investments and winnings for you to get the most out of wagering all casino bonuses.

SEO Copyrighting - Enhancing Your Business


by David Dischler


Online writing can give your business an edge over the others and make a true authority in the web platform. SEO copywriting includes inclusion of beneficial keywords in articles, social media, photographs and other content in web pages. All that is necessary is a legal usage of all of the favourable elements. Keywords can properly gather the interest of search engine robots and if they find you more regularly your business is instantly listed higher for a dominant net presence.

In the present time market, almost every business is finding it easy and profitable to have an online foothold. In this way they are noticed by a larger audience, and greater is the likelihood of revenue generation. So it is crucial to hire a SEO professional for maintaining your web platform.

A copy writing service has writers who are experienced with having the correct keywords. However it's also crucial to have a controlled number of keywords. Far too much of it will create a terrible impression of inorganic content with search sites, and too less of it will not do any good for your promoting.

The very first thing that you need to keep an eye open for is a company that has satisfactory credibility and experienced writers. Experience counts as they'd know the various essential components of the SEO job. While articles must be aptly stuffed they also need to be of high quality.

If you can organize for an author who focuses on the field of writing that you are operating, the output automatically becomes of the best quality. Make sure that you are continually in touch with the writers and that they deliver the work on time. While SEO writing isn't everyone's cup of tea, an expert can properly deliver your essentials. So you must be careful about hiring the right content writer for your campaign.

Internet Marketing Sales - Steps To Make It Happen


by Reed Slidell


Have you heard of internet marketing sales? Although many people have already benefited from it, many are still wondering if they can utilize it for the success of their businesses. This process is a combination of different process which are all directed to achieving a common goal.

There are four stages you must undergo before you can receive that much-needed sales or profit. Preparation for the initial stage, acquisition of highly-convertible traffic, automation of repetitive tasks and building relationships are the essential stages which you must not miss.

The good news here is that the world wide web is rich with a great number of tools which can improve your internet marketing sales. A website comes first in the list of tools. Its two major functions include easy communication to your customers and effective selling of your products and services. Additionally, you can use Skype and the top social media sites to disseminate information about your business.

How should your website look like to ensure that it will work to your advantage. Firstly, it must be filled with valuable content. This content can come in the form of text or motion pictures. It must be effective in capturing the attention of all your potential clients. Include a squeeze page where visitors can fill in important information that would be useful for your lead marketing strategies. Lastly, ensure that you dedicate one page for your order form. Herewith, provide different modes of payment.

Perhaps, you have already heard that increase in website traffic means increase in sales. With this, certain procedures must be observed to ensure the continuous flow of website visits. A few of the tactics which you can include in here are posting of helpful blog entries and SEO videos that could be produced in the form of tutorials. You can also join online forums on discussing relevant topics in your niche. Trying different kinds of advertisement campaigns can work for you as well.

There are specific parts of the sales process which can be automated. And the good thing about automation is you can spend a huge amount of your effort and time improving your marketing tactics as you let the repetitive procedures covered by tools such as autoresponders. For one, the capturing of the contact details for your website visitors can be automated and so is the process of sending an email to each person in your list of contacts.

It is a given fact that people would never buy from a brand they do not trust. This is where the importance of building relationships with your current and future customers sets in. Again, you can get the attention and trust of these people by providing helpful information that can remove the recurring problems they have at the moment. Aside from emailing updates to your contacts, do share blog entries, free e-books and videos that are useful.

As the term sales and marketing strategy suggests, there would definitely be a lot of selling that will be done. However, all the processes mentioned above do not advocate hard selling - the type of selling which most people hate. They give way to the kind of selling that is done in a natural way where in people purchase products or subscribe to services because they believe in the benefits.
