It isn’t going away, but we have to learn to adapt to its changes. That’s why it is so important to follow a social media blog that gives thorough,

Finding women to speak at your WordPress event

Three places to find the women speakers for your WordPress event

I remember when I started to discover the power of WordPress. I had a football blog (American brand) and needed more help. Working at a bookstore, I had access to books, lots of books. As employees, we can check out books and read them or we could buy books for a nice discount. We had some perks. And I took advantage of those perks. For example, I checked out the latest books about college football and wrote reviews. Writing reviews lead to a few authors sending me copies of their book to review. Another thing I took advantage of was

Three ways that WordPress consultants can use social media to help promote their business

Like Google, social media has changed a lot in the past few years. Many business owners love the approach of set it and forget it, but the owners of various social media platforms are also using algorithms to leverage getting paid advertising.

This has made social media a bit of an enigma for WordPress business consultants. Should

The Valentine’s Day method of wooing your clients and creating customer loyalty

Well, February 14th is Valentine’s Day. Have you gotten your special someone a gift? Maybe you bought him or her chocolate or flowers. I remember as a kid that we had these “parties” where we decorated a shoebox to make a little postbox. Then we would go to the store and buy these little Valentine cards that we would give to our classmates. Maybe your office will exchange Valentine Cards and chocolate.
