Credentials in WordPress / The Tech Space
- Thrive
In technology, and specifically WordPress, there are several certificate training courses a person can take to learn the basic knowledge they need to be successful. But how do we translate that into the workforce? When someone states they are a developer what does that actually mean? Does this person have baseline skills or 10+ years of experience? Establishing credentials in the WordPress space not only affirms a baseline of knowledge and education, but also gives standardized meaning to the words we use, such as “designer” and “developer.” In this session I will talk about the importance of credentials in the WordPress workforce, the primary differences between certificates and credentials, how individuals can use credentials to find employment, and how employers can use credentials to ensure their teams are well-prepared to meet the needs of the organization.

WordPress EDGEucation: Scaling and Securing your WordPress Content Globally.

Why You Should Be Closer to the WordPress Community
- Expand
With over a decade in the WordPress community, I can attest that everyone who is earning money with WordPress should be active in the WordPress community. From the networking effects of knowing people to help you on your topic to having shortcuts when questions arise, the WordPress community network can give you an information advantage that others don’t see or have. How are others solving the same client requests that you are having? What feature in the next version of WordPress or a known plugin will make your life easier, and how can you influence the feature to fit more to your requirements? WordPress is an open community that uplifts everyone who is part of it. And the best point: You don’t need to know development to be a part of it.

Owner, Web Squadron
Proven Strategies to Boost Client Acquisition on LinkedIn!

Many professionals struggle to acquire new clients on LinkedIn due to various challenges. One common issue is a poorly optimised profile that fails to showcase their expertise and personality.

I’ll show you methods of boosting your profile, sharing tips of connecting and networking, and how to balance time between your business and social media. Almost 50% of our business clients come from LinkedIn; this is how and why.

Rethinking Success: The Transformative Power of a People-First Culture in Your Agency

The consequences of ignoring the human element can be detrimental to an agency’s reputation and bottom line.

If you want to succeed and prosper as a freelancer, you have to change your mindset. You have to learn now only how to do your craft and do it well, but also how to operate and grow a business. In this presentation I’ll help budding freelancers turn their side hustle into their full time job.

Marketing to Machines
- Expand
As marketers and advertisers, we spend time and energy crafting our content, ads and messaging. We try to convince people to believe our stories, prefer our brands, click our listings, engage, and convert. But people are only part of our audience. Increasingly, they’re not even the most significant part. Maybe they’re not even the most important part. Because to reach those people – to gain access to an audience and a market – we need to first convince systems, search engines, and social sites that our brands and our content are a good fit. We need to market to machines. Schema.org gives us access to a rich language for doing that, but barely anybody’s going beyond the basics. They’re chasing rich snippets and fancy search results but missing the bigger picture. You’ll need to level up your structured data game, to access tomorrow’s markets. You’ll need to understand how to visualize connected data, build sophisticated entity graphs, and think like a search engine.
