Brand Manager, Patrick Rauland gives us an insight into growth marketing in the WordPress ecosystem and the role SEO and content marketing play in driving growth. Patrick reminds us of the powerful role of data in growth marketing and how we can leverage it to better support our buyers.
In this Episode: Where we Went, and Where we're Going (and how you can best prepare!)We covered a whole host of topics this year, from omni-channel — the idea of selling your products directly on your own store, plus platforms like Facebook and Instagram — to performance, security, and effectively selling. We've extolled the virtues of being where your customers already are…which is the point of omni-channel: bring your products to the people. Before 2021, this was a difficult take and most store owners weren't equipped to deliver such features. But that has gotten a lot easier with WooCommerce plugins and Plesk's eCommerce Toolkit. Brian talked about (and Joe agreed) how omni-channel definitely works well for people who sell physical products. As both of them sell online courses and memberships, omni-channel makes less sense, as customers will need to create an account on their site anyway…so they need to get people to their store.When you do get people to your store, you need to make sure it's fast, and secure. Tools like Google's Core Web Vitals can help with the speed part. They'll run your store through a number of tests and recommend optimizations. From a security standpoint, you should at the very least have SSL and a payment gateway, which Chris Tietzel told us all about. We even got a deep dive on Payment Gateways from EVO Payments. When speaking about this, Brian and Joe discussed the benefit of using software vs. writing software. Since they're both developers, they can get things launched pretty quickly. But they both submitted that a payment gateway is one thing they don't want to touch! As Brian and Joe have well-established online stores, they both implemented some of what Jason Coleman taught in the Black Friday / Cyber Monday episode, to great success. The lessons here were the same that Jason talked about: don't be afraid to email, devalue, or otherwise place your product on sale. Brian referenced another post from Justin Ferriman of LearnDash: ignore Black Friday at your own peril.When it comes to 2022, Brian mentioned that we'll continue to see many trillions of dollars get spent in online stores. But he also talked about the idea of “headless” commerce: the ability to place a buy button anywhere, with inline checkout. Imagine emailing customers a custom checkout link that they can click on and pay for right there. Or sending one via text…sharing on Twitter, or embedding on a website wholly different from your store's website. We're already seeing this trend happen with Apple and Google Pay, as well as Stripe, Paypal, and Shopify's own unified checkout buttons. If you sell online in 2022, this is definitely something to look out for.Top TakeawaysYou need to tell people who want what you're selling, what you're selling. And you need to do it a lot. Don't be afraid to send emails. Most people don't check their inbox as much as those who run their own business.Omni-channel is a great strategy because you want to be where your customers already are. But it definitely makes sense for some types of business more than others. Until recently, omni-channel was hard for small store owners. But that is changing thanks to tools like the Plesk eCommerce Toolkit. SMBs are getting things that have traditionally only been available to giant businesses.A quick win for the performance of your website is optimizing for images. Make sure to resize and use a proper number, where it makes sense. If your products need high quality photos (as Maddy Osman mentioned in Episode 7), definitely use them. But you don't necessarily need 25 huge images when 4-5 will do.Reiterating what Patrick Rauland talked about in Episode 6, Brian and Joe talked about how hosted solutions are great for proving a concept. But they also talked about how we're all likely to use some hosted solution. A great example is payment gateways, which do a lot of technical heavy lifting, and take liability out of SMBs hands.Lots of people in the software space especially are hesitant about doing a Black Friday sale. But you definitely should! People are primed to buy that weekend, and might have even been waiting to see if you'll do one. You likely won't send enough emails, let a lot too many. Both Brian and Joe sent 4 on the last day of their sales. Each email lead to at least one purchase. And every email they sent in that week made money. Many trillions of dollars will be spent online in 2022 (just like 2021, 2020, etc). Being on top of trends could help you make even more! One trend that is becoming more mainstream is headless commerce: the idea that you can place a buy button anywhere online (email, text, social media) and have an inline checkout experience. Widespread use of Apple Pay and Google Pay have brought use one step closer to that. Simple shops will be presenting like well established brands because the tools are getting better for us. Be sure to implement things like personalization, targeted marketing, and other techniques that will make buying from you easier, and more enjoyable. Finally, commerce will happen in more places than previously expected. Hybrid live/online events are changing the landscape, and things that were originally thought to only be possible in real life are happening online. Think house showings, trade show booth presentations, and more.The Official Plesk Podcast: Next Level Ops FeaturingJoe CasabonaJoe is a college-accredited course developer and podcast coach.

Today's topic is How did you get started in WordPress web development? The topic was suggested to us by our own Suzette Franck.On this episode of WPwatercooler we are talking about How did you get started in WordPress web development? If you ever wanted to know how your fellow web developers got into WordPress web development now is your chance to hear their story. Live stream starts Monday at 11am PST.Suzette Franck- She started in 1995 and discovered the internet and was fascinated with the internet. She taught herself html and started creating websites for her friends. Shipping ahead 15 year later she had a gallery client that was using blogspot and setup WordPress. She had a record company client that she used WordPress for, and she and her client really loved it. She was able to put together a website quickly vis using Homesite with tables and dealing with all of that yucky stuff.Steve gets nostalgic and started talking about table padding and table spacing. Se got into the discussion and mentions Tables Reloaded that was recently renamed TablePress.Steve Zehngut – Steve got into the business in 1991 or 1992 programming in Director and picked up Flash in 1998. Zeek became a full service web shop in 2000 and started using custom CMS's. They picked up a Mombo project in 2002 for Fox reality channel. He got into WordPress because of the political clients that he was building websites for. He asked a friend if he should have used MovableType or WordPress, he picked WordPress.Jason reminisces and talks about Mambo and hated it.Dustin Filippini – Started in late 1990's in highschool and helped his friends on the side. Dustin went full time 2 years ago as a WordPress developer. He tried Drupal and got into WordPress back in 1.5.Dave Jesch – Dave started in 1979-1980 on IBM's building shrink wrap software. In 2008 or 2009 he built a dog rescue site using PHP. He did a little bit of work with Drupal, OSCommerce and a few other packages. His wife was taking a class in social media and was introduced to WordPress. Dave picked it up and started to extend it and started to build ecommerce sites using it. He loves working with SQL, jQuery and Ajax.Lucy Beer – She doesn't call her self a hardcode developer, but she comes from a marketing background. She spent 8-10 years doing marketing for bands. She started with Blogger and quickly realized the limitations. She discovered WordPress back in 2004 and transitioned from marketing to training people how to use WordPress. She wanted to make WordPress do more, so she learned a bit of PHP and CSS along with theme development and tweaking code.Jason asked about that transition, she says it took her about a year of transition, and she already had the marketing knowhow so when customers need that she has it.Patrick Rauland – He fell into it on accident and took on a role as a Student Web Developer at the local university and after college and started with a company that did straight PHP development. He talks about having to build login forms over and over again and saw that a CMS would be the way to go. He tried Joomla, Drupal and landed on WordPress and started working with it.Jason asked if someone is starting with WordPress as a developer what should their approach be? Patrick responded in that he started with a CS background, and he liked to build things the way he liked it. WordPress gets you 95% there, and that you just need to find the right plugins to fit the need. Steve says “Don't fight with core”. Se says that there is a bit of lazyness that occurs. Patrick says that he agrees and that hooks and filters are where you can get more into that. The core of the product is done you are just adding on to it. Se talks about using plugins like Cyle2 and Soliloquy.Steve talks about the merits of learning PHP as a way to get into Word... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
