  • Laurent Maillard: Agile marketing – how we made our agency a better place

    WordCamp Europe 2022Speaker: Laurent Maillard

    July 1, 2022 — The software development world created agile methodologies to face the exact same problem most marketers face today.

    Scrum, Kanban, Lean, and many more were all answers to help developers work towards the end user needs and wishes instead of their own assumptions.

    The results have been amazing. In the marketing world, we face the exact same problems: we create years-long strategies, deliver tactics based on what we believe will work, and barely even know if those tactics actually delivered.

    Our day-to-day generally consists in jumping from one fire to another, from one meeting to another, while never actually looking into how could we reach our goals.

    In this talk, I’d love to present to the audience how we are creating a million euro business by applying the agile methodologies from the software world into the marketing world.

    I’ll share how we structure our workload in 10-days sprints and will go through the exact same steps we follow with our clients during planning, execution and reporting.

    I will also present how this has completely changed the scale of my business and some tips on how to sell this in form of retainers.

    It’s the talk I wish I’d attended 8 years ago when I started my own business.

  • Marco Berrocal: WP_Query: The power of flexibility

    WordCamp Europe 2022Speaker: Marco Berrocal

    July 1, 2022 — By default, whenever you visit a page, WordPress will run a query that will display… something. Depending on what that page is. So if you visit a normal page, then that page will display, but if you visit a blog page, then the latest posts should come up. This depends on something that we will reveal in this talk.

    But we will also reveal something powerful that makes WordPress so awesome: The WP_Query class. This class allows you to run custom queries that allow you to define what type of content you want to display.

    This talk will be an introduction to the WP Query class, and we will run custom loops for you to really see just how flexible, easy and powerful WordPress can be, in order to give you one more blade, into the huge Swiss Army Knife that WordPress truly is.

  • Nate Finch: Using WordPress as an API

    WordCamp Europe 2022Speaker: Nate Finch

    July 1, 2022 — WordPress is an incredibly flexible platform on which to build websites and web apps. Traditionally, WP has been used for blogs, publishing platforms, business websites and more. It offers an all-in-one package. But what if you want to use a framework like Gatsby (or Gridsome), NextJS (or NuxtJS), 11ty, MERN, Laravel, Ruby on Rails, RedwoodJS, etc. to build an application, but long for the WordPress editing experience?

    Or, what if you have a client that already has a web application running, and would like to incorporate a blog using WordPress to that application? There are many ways to “couple” other technologies with a “decoupled” WordPress publishing experience.

  • Rodolfo Melogli: Let’s build (and sell) an online course

    WordCamp Europe 2022Speaker: Rodolfo Melogli

    June 27, 2022 — Online learning has gone through an incredible growth during the recent pandemic.

    Although installing and setting up a WooCommerce LMS plugin to sell courses is a breeze, creating the actual online course content is a complex operation.

    From brainstorming possible topics to defining modules and lessons, from writing the sales page to picking the correct price, from designing the “course brand” to choosing a customer persona, from recording lessons to editing videos, and finally from selling courses to managing students, there is a lot of work to be done.

    We’ll use worksheets to create your very own online course, so that you can start recording tomorrow and put it for sale in a month.
