September 15, 2019 — The Power of Story

September 15, 2019 — With over 1.8 BILLION websites on the web, how do you make yours stand apart from the others? Solid tips from an experienced Public Relations and Publicity Pro will help you develop your brand online with organic growth.

September 15, 2019 — In the WordPress Community, we talk about community frequently. We know how to build community with WordPress, but what about with our own clients?

Retaining clients and parting ways with clients requires grace. This type of relationship maintenance is an important thing to learn for introverts and applies to new businesses to veterans. It’s an art and a science — soft skills for the win!

In this talk, I’ll discuss how I went from an employee to a business owner — with half of the clients I need in the first four months — because of soft skills. We’ll talk about relationship building tips for organic and sustainable growth — online and off.

September 15, 2019 — Speed matters. People are impatient. If your website or a client’s website doesn’t load quickly – within a just a couple of seconds – many visitors will abandon it completely. A slow site means lost time & revenue. But figuring out how to speed up a slow site can be HARD.

Everyone’s got a suggestion and an idea for how to fix your performance issues. Disable this plugin, try this, try that … usually just guesses, and not based on real data.

STOP GUESSING. If you have a performance issue, or just want to make your site faster, you need to KNOW exactly what is going on with your actual, live site in production.

We’ll start by with an overview of WordPress page performance, and then focus on server response times, and what affects them. We’ll take a look at tools that will tell you exactly what plugins are slowing down your site.

September 15, 2019 — There are thousands of themes out there and finding the right one for your website can be difficult. Is a free theme any good? Is it worth buying a premium theme? Will it work?

We’ll talk about what to look for and what to avoid in your search for a good quality theme. The right one will display your content beautifully, be responsive, load quickly, and have the features you need for your site.

September 15, 2019 — We’ve all been there. Maybe it was a live group setting or a Zoom call. Someone in the group drops a term, everyone else nods knowingly, your anxiety rises as you realize you’ve NEVER heard of this thing, that you SHOULD have heard of before! Everyone keeps nodding as the speaker rambles on about this term. You nod, too. You feel like a fraud, an imposter. You will hit Google at the next available moment, you vow. You do. You still can’t figure this out. Yikes!, you think, I suck.

Imposters Syndrome is real. A REAL DRAG. And it doesn’t have to be that way. You see, you probably weren’t the only one pretending. And the group wasn’t fortunate enough to have a Super Hero pipe up and say “I don’t know that term. Can you explain?”

In this Session, I’ll deconstruct Imposters Syndrome. I will give you a new mindset to try out, The Dunno Doctrine, so that you can be the Super Hero and this madness can stop!

September 15, 2019 — My business, online authority and SEO experience have grown significantly over the past few years in large part due to the blog communities I have managed.
