Bridget Willard and Jen Miller are joined by Justine Pretorious to discuss Marketing hacks to build community connections at a WordCamp.Tweeting as WCLAX by Bridget WillardWordCamp marketing is not like regular event marketing – it’s a very different cultureKnowing where your audience exists is important – WordPress users are very active on twitterJustine originally wanted nothing to do with Twitter and didn’t start using it until she was asked to tweet on the business account for her employerBridget really connected with the WordPress community and met people from the community because of TwitterVolunteering enhances your experience in the WordPress community because it connects you to the people who are most involved – it is a gateway and allows you to put your skills to workJustine moved from Truckee to Portland and found the local WordCamp and volunteered herself to do their social mediaJen Miller first connected with the WordPress community through volunteering at WordCamp Orange CountyMake sure when you post to twitter, especially from a WordPress site, that you use a good image and use featured images on your post! It’s a huge part of good marketing.Canva is a good option if you don’t have Photoshop – they offer layouts and pre-defined sizingMake sure to use a 1200 x 628 featured image in every post or page on your WordPress siteYou can see what facebook (open graph images) will render when you use the facebook debugger tool https://developers.facebook.com/tools-and-support/For WordCamps it’s important to remember there are pre-”game” components and post-game – you should still be tweeting & covering those events – the camp doesn’t end when the last session closes!Keep the love going during non-camp times by tweeting other local WordPress Meetups and events – keeps your logo and account in front of people even when you don’t have something going onDon’t forget to keep “hospitality” in mind – make it easier for the new people – share tips. Give important information to help everyone feel welcome, answer questions during the event.Before the event, tweet out as much information as possible, location, snacks/meal info, what to expect, what to bring (and what you shouldn’t), and lots of general adviceIf you are going to sponsor and be at a WordCamp, make sure you follow the main twitter account, start talking about it several months in advance, talk about your team who is going, help promote the event by sharing info, hashtag and document your time at the WordCampPut the WordCamp speakers and attendees on twitter lists so that you and others can follow along without getting overwhelmedBridget: Dear WordCamp speakers:Update your gravatar with your current image with all your relevant info (make sure your photo looks like you!!)Give your current twitter handle and make yourself easy to findInclude your twitter handle on your presentation slides – people want to help promote you!Announce speakers before you sell tickets if at all possible – people need to know why they are buying ticketsTweet about speakers with photos and make sure you include their bios/photos on your siteEvery WordCamp has it’s own unique culture – try to include some of that culture and local color in your marketing tweets – “Local SEO” – share what makes your area / camp unique!Doing teasers of the content in your presentation is a great way to build up interest and get people to come to your talk! Share selfies – it helps people to feel more connected, like they know you.Tweet during the sessions that you attend and share valuable information (with...

On this episode we are recapping the events that happened during WordCamp Los Angeles 2013.WordCamp LAX was really smooth and well managed. General thoughts are that it was hard to imagine this was a first time organizer group for a WordCamp. It was also representative of life and diversity in Southern California.EventsFriday: The traditional Speaker/Sponsor dinner in HollywoodSaturday: All day sessions running in 2 rooms at Cal State LA followed by the after party at the Blue Cow Kitchen and Bar in Downtown LA.Sunday: Afternoon sessions at Cross Campus in Santa MonicaQ: Why did the organizers decide to spread the weekend out over the Greater Los Angeles area instead of keeping it to one location for the weekend?A: Natalie has a really good relationship with Cross Campus and immediately thought it would be perfect for the smaller Sunday event since not as many people attend the Sunday event as they do the Saturday event.  The Saturday venue needed to be much larger, and they were having trouble finding an appropriate location. Cal State LA kind if “fell into our laps” and it just worked out that way. It wasn’t planned to cover the east side and west side.Saturday PresentationsSteve: Really enjoyed Paul Clark’s talk on Saturday Sass* and Less CSS. He’s a great speaker and funny with a great sense of humor. He inspired Steve to research Sass and work it into the development process.Steve also liked Konstantin Obenland presentation The Customizer and learned a lot.*Sass is a different way of creating CSS much more efficiently. Jeff: Favorite was Paul Clark.Jeff also enjoyed Scott Bolinger’s talk on Lesser Known but Super Hip Responsive Design Tricks.Jeff was also inspired to take the information from Konstantin’s presentation and implement it into his own work. Chris: Was anticipating the WordPress Consulting for Large Companies by Karim Marucchi, John Giaconia and Kara Hansen. A collaborative presentation between Velomedia and The Walt Disney Company. Takeaway for future presenters Speak on a topic that you know. It’s that simple. If you know your topic, it becomes a conversation and that’s what makes a good session. A good session is not reading off of slides. It’s when an audience is responsive to what you’re talking about.WPwatercooler Saturday presenters* Steve: Underscores – The only theme that matters* Chris delivered the Keynote* Se: DIYWP: Making WordPress Work for Your Small Business* Suzette: You’re Live! …Now What?: Post Launch Setup Process and ProceduresWPwatercooler Sunday Presenters* Jason: Improving Support Documentation by Using Video in the Dashboard* Jeff: Part of the Business Panel DiscussionMentions* Huberts Lemonade (sponsor of WCLAX and provided a ton of cold bottles of lemonade to attendees.* GoDaddy[LISTATTENDEES event_identifier=”ep54-wordcamp-2013-recap-show-wpwatercooler-5-523fd518644ae” show_gravatar=”true”] See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
