Q&A With WordPress power couple Cate & Topher DeRosia of HeroPress

Somewhere along the way –I can’t say when– I ran across the HeroPress website. As you all know, I really like stories and the telling of overcoming adversity. HeroPress tells those stories, so I was immediately attracted to the platform. Over the past several years I have been fortunate enough to meet Topher and Cate (virtually) DeRosia, the couple behind HeroPress. I have worked with them in various settings. In the past few months, HeroPress expanded with new projects and looking to be a bigger player in the WordPress space. HeroPress has been around for about six years now. Originally,

October Toolbox: Various ideas for video calls

Communication. It’s kind of important. I learned one time that communication is derived from the same word as a community. So, if you want community, there has to be good communication. I have a friend who played an FBI Analyst on the hit show NCIS New Orleans one time. Her role was during crunch time and she played someone trying to get a trace on a call with a kidnapper. Communication can be critical. That’s why in our industry, we often take video calls. Seeing someone face to face is important to building trust. Thanks to several different tools, we

3 ways to use Audiograms + 5 apps to make them

One of the biggest mistakes we make when it comes to creating content is not distributing that content. Marketer Ross Simmonds says: “Many marketers will spend 20 hours to create a masterpiece and spend 20 minutes to promote it. Then they’re left wondering: “Hmm… Why didn’t that take off? “Distribution folks. Embrace it…” Source So, promotion is key and one way to promote is by using audiograms. Over the past few years, I’ve seen my share of audiograms online. Cool. I never really had a use for them, or so I thought. Then I started regularly creating podcasts, the Storyteller

September Toolbox: Audiograms, transcriptions and social management

The time is now! That is, the time is now for the September Toolbox. Now, if you knew me well, you might know I would rather watch professional wrestling than do anything with regular tools for fixing things. In other words, don’t ask me to remodel your kitchen. But, the tools in the Toolbox are different types of tools, and they save me time, which allows me to watch wrestling. So in today’s September Toolbox, we are going to discuss a tool for transcribing, a tool for having some fun, a tool for audiograms, and a robust tool for your

How do you get business? There are so many ways to generate leads. There is no shortage of options. But many of us would like the leads to come to us. For many, that’s a pipedream.
