Converting Website Visitors Into Business LeadsScott Towne
Business owners work hard and pay money to bring visitors to their website. Most businesses are missing out on being able to directly communicate with that well-earned traffic after they have left the website. Email marketing is proven to be effective for lead conversions, however it can be difficult to get someone to join your list. In order to earn new subscribers, you need to add value to your visitor’s lives and trade them something useful in return for their equally valuable email address. We’ll walk through three non-technical pieces of a lead capture set-up that will help to increase the number of people that join your list and gives business owners the chance to further build trust with their visitors and develop those leads into customers.

Site speed is a ranking factor in Google, and for good reason. Visitors have a short attention span, and will quickly navigate away from a slow website, especially on mobile. This presentation covers essential tools and techniques for improving your load times and PageSpeed score, such as caching, image optimization, and plugin performance.
An important part of any non-profit organization’s mission is getting its message out to as many people as possible. WordPress can help make that process easier. A well-designed WordPress website can help even the smallest non-profit reach a wide audiences and help activate both supporters and volunteers.
My presentation "Introduction to WordPress Multisite", from WordCamp Toronto 2012. A very basic introduction to multisite, what it is, what it can do, and references for additional information.
Testing a WordPress theme, plugin or application is typically a topic that isn't for the faint of heart. In this session, we are going to break things down so you will understand the different types of testing available, when to use them, and how simple certain types of tests can be. Imagine having your client practically write your tests for you... good, now let's show you how to make that happen!

A (very) brief overview of WordPress as a useful tool to help build your online presence.
This was given to the wonderful XL group in Birmingham UK.
The objective was to give people enough information to be able to manage someone else doing the technical details, and to show just how easy it is to create and publish content using WordPress.
How To Use WordPress For Your Business SiteBobWP.com
In this workshop I explained the benefits of using WordPress for your business site. With its flexibility through themes and plugins, you can create a professional site that the search engines will find and sell your services and/or products.
Extending WordPress Multisite for Fun and Profit by Angie Meeker at WordPress...Angela Meeker
Creating a network of websites from one WordPress installthat shares themes, plugins and users… and then extending it to create your own WordPress.com, Social Network, Etsy, Treehouse and more. Perfect for entrepreneurs and startups. View Fullscreen.
Fast and furious - this presentation was shared at the March 2013 WordPress Columbus Meetup:
-Quickly and easily replicate standard sites on your network, including the theme, plugins and settings, AND content.
- Use top level domains for all the sites on your network.
-Aggregate content from across your network to your primary site, turning your network into a news beast!
-Turn your Multisite network into a money-making machine by charging for access to your new websites. That's right - once you've turn one Multisite, you're one plugin away from being able to sell those new websites on your network through a paywall. Or, DON'T charge for access for those site, but DO require membership.
-Turn the whole network into your own social network using BuddyPress - imagine a network of websites where each user's posts can contribute to a common feed, and those users can also connect with one another through messaging, profiles, photos... Sounds like Linked In, Facebook, or well... any niche network out today, huh?
-- Turn that same WordPress Multisite installation (without Ecommerce) into an educational powerhouse by giving each of the sites on your network a learning management system (useful for Multisite installation in the K-12 or college context).
-Turn that same WordPress Multisite installation (with or without BuddyPress or the ) into Etsy. Give each of your users their own e-commerce store, and you've got a marketplace. I'll even show you how to take a cut of their sales.
Use these ideas to gain an understanding of the power of Multisite and as a springboard for how WordPress can be extended beyond a simple blogging platform into a tool for generating fun and profit for your business or startup.
