March 22 2024It's the WP Minute! Today we ask, “Who's responsible for WordPress marketing?” Coming up next! Josepha Haden Chomphosy, Executive Director of the WordPress Open Source project, posted an idea that shifts the dynamics of the WordPress Marketing team. A call for a Media Press Corps. Also known as a Dramatic Shift.It's still too early to tell if this initiative will stick, so I won't comment directly on the idea of a Media Press Corps at the moment. Stay tuned to this space as that story develops.However, this shift begs the question, Who is responsible for WordPress marketing?[Classified]Let me TL;DR it for you first, as my boss at Gravity Forms Carl Hancock says, “It's the entire ecosystem.” Something I agree with, and not just because he signs my paycheck. The ecosystem as a whole has always been the biggest driving force for WordPress adoption. Because WordPress is not a product first organization. It's not a corporate entity. It's open source software & community. Sure, it happens to be lead by Matt Mullenweg who founded the software, who also owns Automattic, can irritate us at times, but also pours a tremendous amount of resources into a project that we all enjoy. Still, doesn't make WordPress.org a product first initiative. There's no budget, there's no access to crucial data, there's no access to social channels, and the marketing team has no influence on the direction of the project. I'm sure I'm missing something else. How far could an official Marketing Team take it? An insurmountable task I wouldn't want to take on. Which leaves the marketing of WordPress up to you and I: You're an agency owner, you're preaching to clients about the advantages of WordPress.You're a blogger, you're telling people to own their own content & platform.You're a YouTuber, you're teaching viewers how to use WordPress.You're a Managed WordPress hosting provider, you're talking about how fast and scalable WordPress is.You're a plugin author, you're selling on the idea that you're making a good platform even better.You're a WordPress Media outlet, you're informing, educating, and entertaining an audience.Whether we call it a Marketing Team or a Media Press Corps, WordPress biggest marketing advantages — even in the face of Wix/squarespace Super Bowl ads — is us, like it always has been.So tell me, how would you spread awareness and brand positioning for WordPress? Got a thought about a WordPress Media Corps?

We're doing something a little different today. I was asked to speak at the Membership Success Summit at the end of this month and the host, Jonathan Denwood asked me to hop on a call to do a little bit of a preview of the topic I'm going to be speaking on which is all about how your membership fits within your business model. It's always interesting when somebody else is doing the interviewing and asking the questions. We talk about all kinds of things in this session and it's a great overview of all things memberships - all the things that can get in our way of doing it, mistakes people make about content. You'll also get a chance to hear about the Membership Success Summit. Which I think will be awesome. Jonathan brought all together a whole bunch of really interesting people in the industry, who have a lot of experience in tech, audience building, funnels and lots of other complex topics. He's also coming from a background which is very much tech because he works in the WordPress environment. That was something that I had fun learning more about because it's so different than my focus on program design, positioning and marketing & sales. So please don't hesitate to join the membership Success Summit at the end of the month is September 29 to October 1. https://themembershipsuccesssummit.com/ref/Lisa%20Princic/

Jonathan Denwood is a leading influencer in the WordPress space (with his own leading podcast in the eLearning entrepreneurship WordPress area) and a champion of the eLearning Entrepreneur who wants to build a substantial online business. In this episode, you will learn the following: What you need to know when you start creating a website? Does the type of platform in hosting a course matters? Can you share great functions, plug-ins, features of Wordpress that are not present on other platforms? What is Learning Manage System (LMS) and what are the fun things you can do with it? What are the considerations when you decide to build a course using Wordpress? What is Caching? What you need to know when you start creating a website? When starting a website, you need to decide and know your foundations. Start asking questions like: Is the content I am creating in demand, useful, and purposeful? Will this content solve a real-life problem? Will I earn money from creating this content? Does the type of platform in hosting a course matter? If you intend to build a real business, it is best to build that on Wordpress. Wordpress is easy and intuitive to use. Managing content compared to other SAS Platforms is easier and simpler. It is also extremely customizable. On the otherhand, other SAS Platforms that you subscribe monthly are also great to use and they tend to market themselves as the "easy solution" but in reality they are much more complicated and complex than the Wordpress. You are spending much more money on these platforms but functionalities and features are very limited depending on your package, and it's not easy to migrate out from these systems. Can you share great functions, plug-ins, features of Wordpress that are not present on other platforms? There are two areas where Wordpress excels: First, the development of page builders such as Gutenberg, Elementor, and Beaver Builder with drag and drop feature. Second, Learning management system which gives you a lot of new features like having badges, take quizzes, tracking student's progress etc. What is Learning Manage System (LMS) and what are the fun things you can do with it? LMS increases the features and functions of a simple course. It helps you to generate good income. You can download extra materials like pdfs, quizzes, games, certificates, badges, etc. What are the considerations when you decide to build a course using Wordpress? Do not buy cheap hosting mobile for your initial hosting package. Buying from hosting provider like blue host for $3 a month will not help you start-up your business on building content on wordpress. It will give you a terrible experience. Initially, you need to invest on choosing your hosting mobile and look into getting those around $20, $30, $35 for your initial hosting package on your membership site. Reliable providers like WP- Tonic and WP-Engine among many others will help your website run fast, it can handle the traffic, and allows multiple members to use the website at the same time. What is Caching? It is a layer that allows to store up data so that future requests for that data are served up faster than is possible by accessing the data’s primary storage location. To learn more about Wordpress, go to WP-Tonic and listen to our podcast about Wordpress, latest features, plug-ins, page builders, learning management systems that you can get. Other services include: e-learning materials like blogs and training videos for entrepreneurs who want to build substantial online businesses, providing hosting and all the software included that starts at $35 a month, semi-custom and full-custom build-outs, they also ensure that your plug-ins up-to-date and your websites are secured.

When I talk to most service business owners about growing their firm, the majority tell me their strategy is focused on getting more clients they can serve with their current offerings. Which makes total sense of course. However, not many consider that there are alternative ways to grow your service business. And there's one specifically that doesn't require you to continue to add overhead and infrastructure to deliver the service itself… I'm talking about eLearning and online courses. This could be through a stand-alone course, or using them in combination with your existing services to enhance your client's experience, help to differentiate you from others in your space and charge higher fees. But if you haven't considered eLearning as a viable option for you because you're put off by all the “techy stuff”, then my guest today is going to remove that excuse and really open your eyes to the possibilities of adding an online element to your service offerings. He is a fellow Brit but has made a very successful move to America, which is where he's joining me from today. He is the Founder and CEO of WP-Tonic, where he helps his clients create online courses and eLearning platforms that can add a substantial additional revenue stream to your business! So as his approach to growing a service-based business is one not many consider straight away, yet is more simple than you realize, I'm really looking forward to talking to my guest today, Jonathan Denwood! On this episode: What is eLearning? How to use an eLearning platform to enhance your existing services How to plan and build your own online course The 3 ways Jonathan attracts and catches clients for his business And much more!

Tips on how to successfully create and launch an online course with Jonathan Denwood: One of the great things about creating an online course is it's an opportunity for somebody to build a real business online, which is possible to do while still doing your day job. The main thing is not to make building an online course a daunting task. But a lot of people that do their first course, and this is totally understandable, is to prove that they're offering great value to their students, they feel that they've got to literally build War and Peace in a course format. But he was giving examples where he's had to adjust pricing, and adjusting pricing has made an enormous difference on a course that didn't seem to be selling. Then suddenly, and it wasn't always downwards. But as a way of building brand recognition, I think Udemy has benefits and it's great. But building a real business on somebody else's platform, especially with a notorious discount as like Udemy, it's not a great idea With WordPress for an online course because of the plugin construction, you can select plugins that are top of their product in that specific functionality that you're looking for. But the future of actually learning, of people giving real value, and I can only see it getting bigger and bigger and brighter and brighter. And I think people more and more are going to expect their training online. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY CREATE AND LAUNCH AN ONLINE COURSE [just click to tweet] HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY CREATE AND LAUNCH AN ONLINE COURSE The main thing is not to make building an online course a daunting task. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Doug: Well, welcome back listeners to another episode of Real Marketing, Real Fast.

So Jonathan is going to help us demystify that, and he's going to help us work through the process of getting over this hurdle so we can concentrate on marketing our courses to our target audience. Jonathan also helps those who have found themselves trapped in a SaaS platform, which they've outgrown, and they want to move to a more flexible and powerful WordPress platform where they can be in complete control of the design elements and the functionality of their online course. There are multiple balls for us to juggle when we're launching an online course and to manage a course successfully, and Jonathan has some great insights to help you get over those fears. So we're going to talk about what it takes to build your first online course, and what the difference is between WordPress and a platform such as Kajabi.

Carrie Dils joined Jonathan Denwood and Kim Shivler for Episode 279 of the WP-Tonic Podcast. A long-time, successful WordPress freelancer, Carrie has launched a platform to help other freelancers find success in business. In this episode, Carrie shares her top tips for creating a successful freelancing business including Small Business Administration Resources and using clarity.fm to charge for consulting phone calls. Carrie Dils began working at Starbucks. She had a vision open her own coffee shop, and thought why not learn the ins and outs of how to make coffee and get paid to do it. But soon, she realized she didn’t want to depend on others for success. Not that her team wasn’t great, but she was done trading hours for dollars. For her birthday, Carrie’s dad signed her up for an annual subscription to Lynda. She started taking classes taught by Morten Rand-Hendriksen which is where her career started rolling as a freelance web developer. Now, she’s been consulting and educating for 3-4 years. Working for Lynda, she travels to California to record lessons around 3 times a year. She began blogging tutorials on her website as a way to give back to the community. The WordPress community is very generous with learning, and the positive affirmations and people she is able to help through teaching are strong motivators for her. https://carriedils.com/ https://twitter.com/cdils https://www.lynda.com/Carrie-Dils/965233-1.html
