Recap 2022 MainWP Blog: The Q&A Articles

In June 2016 (yikes!), I wrote my first article for MainWP. It has been quite a ride. I have enjoyed it and enjoy the freedom to write articles I like to write. One of those types of articles are Q&A articles. I first learned to write these when I was a Startup & Tech writer for a statewide publication in Arkansas. I took the idea and created my own spin on it and I can often be found calling them a podcast interview in text. They are fun. I get to interview interesting people and showcase makers in the WordPress

November Toolbox: Your year-end evaluations can generate extra revenue

In this month’s Toolbox, we are going to talk about how you can help your clients and generate extra revenue. Gather around friends. I’m going to help you earn money during the month of December. December is typically a slow month for many people in the WordPress Web Care business. You likely aren’t building any new websites and you are spending most of your time taking care of your client websites using MainWP. But I have an idea. You can sell your client on an end-of-year evaluation of their websites to help them find improvement for the next year. If

Q&A with Kathy Zant Director of Marketing at StellarWP

In this month’s Q&A, we visit with Kathy Zant, a long time geek who started creating websites with Active Server Pages. Kathy is the Director of Marketing at StellarWP. When she isn’t wrangling WordPress products, she loves hanging out with her husband, her dog, and fosters kittens. What is your WordPress origin story? I actually started developing data-driven sites before it was cool to do so. Active Server Pages and SQL Server, but moved to PHP/MySQL around 2000 for my personal projects. It was even before PHPMyAdmin had to do everything on the command line. WordPress used the same PHP

5 lessons I learned from having a YouTube Livestream Show

Earlier this year, I started the Messaging Matters Show. I believe, you know, that your business message matters. I did a YouTube show a few years ago called Copychat. It was fun, but it was lots of work, and I was not very good at video editing. I recorded the show, uploaded it, and I had a little introduction. This time I decided I would do my YouTube show as a livestream. I felt there were advantages to doing the show as a livestream. I also gave it a new name and focus much more on copywriting and content marketing.

October 2022 WordPress Roundup: Deceptive marketing, superfans, and a history of page builders

In this month’s WordPress roundup we discuss superfans, the history of page builders, and deceptive marketing practices. Buckle up. Let’s ride. WordPress succeeds by embracing the superfans, not dismissing them Rob Howard from MasterWP wrote a nice article comparing some decisions by Automattic to abandoning superfans. He makes a very valid point. The article starts with the drama around removing the chart that showed data about free plugins and their popularity. You may remember that happening in the early part of October. What followed was quite a fallout and Automattic trying to explain the reasoning. Howard believes, unlike many, that

Value of a Blog post
WordPress Business
Todd Jones

How long does it take to write a blog post? One that “moves the needle.”

When it comes to writing blog posts, most people want to know three things: 1) How long should it be (how many words)? 2) How often should I post? and 3) How much should I pay? However, the better question you should ask, the one that helps you answer these questions is: How long does it take to write a blog post? Ultimately, business owners want to know how much they have to invest in content marketing. Content marketing is an investment, not an expense. To understand the value of something, there are multiple things to consider. For one, how
