We are excited to be part of WooSesh 2022 this year as we host end-of-the-day wrap up conversations with speakers from the event.

In today's episode, we get to listen again to Joe and Brian Richards' conversation. They discuss the ins and outs of virtual conferences, the challenges of making people show up on event day, and finding success in organizing paid virtual events.    Brian is the creator of WPSessions.com, where he provides training to businesses and developers working with WordPress. He also organizes WordSesh and WooSesh, two entirely virtual conferences for WordPress and WooCommerce professionals. Before getting into training and event organizing, Brian spent his days as a web development contractor and consultant.

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.

In the News WordPress.org was in the news again. This time there was a lot of confusion about WordPress rejecting plugin submissions with the WP prefix. They said this was to address potential trademark abuse. As you can imagine, this sparked some interesting debate (read: controversy) on Twitter and Slack channels. This information ended up being misinterpreted as WPSteward reported, but it generated responses across the entire Community in record time. People legitimately freaked out because of how the information from WordPress.org has been handled in the past. We all have kind of felt this. There has been a track record for this type of communication and folks generally feel as though they are not being heard. Sarah Gooding over at WPTavern and Jeff Chandler over at WPMainline went into further detail about how this was “making mountains over molehills”. Go check their articles out for different perspectives on this news flash. This is also time for a joke. Like what happens when two train conductors walk into bar…ok. Gutenberg keeps chugging right along with the roadmap to WordPress 5.9 and Gutenberg 11.3. Birgit Pauli-Haack and Grzegorz Ziolkowski discuss the preliminary roadmap on the 50th episode of the Gutenberg Times Changelog podcast. Congratulations on number 50! As more and more of us are being asked to pay attention to the changes in the Block Editor in Gutenberg, go check out what Iian Poulson writes. He sees the negative talk turning into more optimism. There is a great long post for developers over at Delicious Brains to review. Getting back to business Immerseus founder Jack Kitterhing tweeted that Immerseus had been acquired in full. His eight-month-old company generated $100k in sales from apparently a single Facebook group marketing channel…and he has a day job…and like 5 other products. I think I should have him on the Matt Report to give us the map to this gold mine… Events WordPress meets education at WPCampus online September 21 and 22nd.
