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

This week on Episode 262 of the WP-Tonic Podcast, the roundtable discussed Virtual Reality in WordPress and WordPress use in higher education. Sallie Goetsch, Morten Rand-Hendriksen, Chris Badgett, John Locke, and Adam Preiser joined co-host Kim Shivler in a lively discussion of the future of virtual reality with one member believing it has no future. We launched with WPTavern’s covering of Tuesday’s Higher Ed Conference. https://wptavern.com/free-conference-dedicated-to-wordpress-in-higher-ed-takes-place-january-30th-at-9am-cst

On Episode 259 of WP-Tonic, host Jonathan Denwood and co-host Kim Shivler interview Rachel Cherry of WP-Campus (https://wpcampus.org/).

This week, host Jonathan Denwood and co-host Kim Shivler discussed learning management systems including fully-hosted third party platforms like Thinkific and Kajabi and WordPress Learning Management System (LMS) plugins like LearnDash and LifterLMS.   In other show episodes, Jonathan and Kim have interviewed Justin Ferriman of LearnDash and Chris Badgett from LifterLMS to discuss their products. This time they ventured beyond self-hosted platforms into fully configured and hosted options including Kajabi, Thinkific, Teachable, and Udemy. For many people, a self-hosted plan is a better option. It does provide the limitations of working in someone else’s platform and provides the freedom to create content without worrying about building and maintaining a platform.   KAJABI https://newkajabi.com/   Udemy https://www.udemy.com/

On today’s roundtable, Sallie Goetsch and John Locke joined the show’s co-host Kim Shivler to share tips for making your websites mobile friendly along with recent news stories. While mobile responsive design has been around for many years, and you would think everyone was designing this way by now, we find that many people still ignore it. From large background videos that don’t load well on phones to content that is designed for a print layout not online layout, we still see major issues trying to access websites from a mobile device. John Locke’s top tips included: Pay attention to the typography. He finds many sites with small fonts that are not legible on mobile. He recommends font sizes of at least 16 pixels. Tap targets, those buttons you must tap with your finger on a mobile device, need to be big enough to tap on.

This week Benjamin Ilfeld from 10up.com joined Jonathan Denwood and his co-host Kim Shivler to discuss Google Analytics. Benjamin is the Lead Audience and Revenue Strategist at 10up. They focus on the audience and revenue side of the business for their customers. Benjamin explained that while Google Analytics is a tool to provide insights into traffic visiting your site, it’s like a Swiss Army Knife that isn’t specific to one need. It’s generic and to get the most from it, you need to configure it to meet your needs. For example, if you are running an eCommerce store, you want to filter out bot traffic to make sure anyone visiting is a potential customer. Ben also recommended configuring views and filters in order to fine tune what you see. He always recommends creating a test view that is your sandbox. Use this like a test or staging area before putting anything into a live view. Once it’s live it will show up in your reports. Google Analytics and other tools give you insights into your data, but what is really important is to set goals and have a measurement plan. The tools them provide the measurements, but if you don’t know your goals and what you want to measure, the numbers don’t matter.

This week’s roundtable gathered to discuss Design Elements for your WordPress website including selecting a color scheme, and fonts. Sallie Goetsch, Adam Preiser, Kim Shivler, and special guest Amanda McCoy joined host Jonathan Denwood for a lively discussion with plenty of links to resources to help you with your own site. Amanda McCoy spoke at WordCamp Sacramento 2017 on color palette selection, so we invited her along to share some insights. She works in both web and print design, and likes to select colors that fit the project. If you take a look at her website, you’ll see what she means. Her portfolio shows plenty of examples where the colors set the tone of her message. She also says to keep it simple for your website. You only need a few colors. Adam has several tutorials on fonts and colors. One of his pet peeves is when he can tell, at a glance, what WordPress theme people are using because they haven’t taken the time to change default fonts and colors.

This week, Jonathan Denwood and Kim Shivler interviewed Nancy Lyons, CEO of Clockwork, an award winning, interactive design agency. Clockwork is known as one of the best places to work in Minneapolis, and Nancy shared insights on how to create a people-centered corporate culture, and why it's important to consider that different employees work and process in different ways and how allowing this increases engagement. Nancy is co-author of the book Interactive Project Management, Pixels, People, & Process which takes a people-centered approach to delivering outstanding digital products.

This week, the WP-Tonic Roundtable featured Sallie Goestch, Lee Jackson, John Locke, Kim Shivler, and special guest Larry Swanson along with host Jonathan Denwood to discuss WordCamp Seattle and WordPress Hooks: Actions and Filters.

This week, Jonathan Denwood and his co-host Kim Shivler kicked off the show with coverage of the week’s news stories. Lee Jackson jumped in to round out our news story discussion and give great insight into our main topic, “How to Select a Theme for Your Project.” For our news stories, we covered the latest on Gutenberg including a post by Matt Mullenweg (https://ma.tt/2017/08/we-called-it-gutenberg-for-a-reason/) covered in WPTavern (https://wptavern.com/matt-mullenweg-addresses-concerns-about-gutenberg-confirms-new-editor-to-ship-with-wordpress-5-0). This topic continues to be a hot one in the WordPress community and promises to do so through its official release in WordPress 5.0

This week, the WP-Tonic Roundtable featured an almost full house. Morten Rand-Hendriksen, Sallie Goestch, Lee Jackson, Mendel Kurland, John Locke, Kim Shivler, and special guest Tom McCraken joined host Jonathan Denwood to discuss Morten’s article on the upcoming WordPress Gutenberg editor and learn more about what Google Analytics can tell us about our WordPress websites. The panel has discussed the upcoming Gutenberg editor several times. This week’s discussion was brought about based on an article written by Morten (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/gutenberg-morten-rand-hendriksen) that was then picked up by WPTavern (

This week’s WP-Tonic Roundtable (Jason Marlowe, Mendel Kurland, Kim Shivler and leader Jonathan Denwood), considered different types of Marketing Automation. While many people think of Email Automation, Marketing Automation covers more than email. As Jason pointed out, it’s taking any process in your business and automating it. Mendel likens automation to a trash compactor. It condenses the time you have to manually spend on tasks so that you have time to do other things within your business. We discussed several Email Automation tools including Drip https://www.drip.co/ and Active Campaign http://www.activecampaign.com/ along with MailChimp https://mailchimp.com/ which now includes automation services in their free accounts. Text options and text messaging automation were also highlighted since these are growing in popularity. Mendel has been actively tracking his traffic and email options for his site https://hikingwithgeeks.com/. He considers how visitors interact with the site and measures the effects of his email campaigns. Big takeaway is to set a goal and measure your results. “Don’t spend money or time, indiscriminately on something you haven’t set a goal for and can’t measure.”

 Special Interview With Kimberly Shivler + How To Get New Clients   In this episode of the show, we interview Kim Shivler who has agreed to be my new co-host.

This week’s, WP-Tonic Roundtable (Lee Jackson, Sallie Goetsch, Adam Preiser, Jason Marlowe, Kim Shivler and leader Jonathan Denwood) discussed the different things people mean when they talk about Membership Websites. We covered meanings from content restricted areas to business directories and social networking platforms. With so many different meanings of the term, we delved into the importance of discovery calls with clients when they ask for a membership website. When the requirement is content restriction, the group covered plugins including RestrictContent Pro and MemberPress, and Lee Jackson explained how in many circumstances, restricting content may be better handled with simple coding than the complexity of a membership plugin.
