Content Syndication Made Easy

Leveraging your time 

By now you have heard that content is king when it comes to Internet marketing. Getting your message out and in front of as many interested eyeballs as possible is what the ultimate goal is. There are several services available that can help you leverage your time better and Twitterfeed is one of them. In the following video you will see just how easy it is to take an RSS feed from your WordPress website or blog and put it into Twitterfeed. Once the RSS feed is set up every time that you post a new post on your site it will automatically syndicate out to the sources that you choose.

As an example I am putting this post on our blog which will then go to our Facebook page and in our Twitter account: see images below

Adding a form to a WordPress website

The best WordPress plugin for Forms

So I must admit that I haven't used every form plugin available in WordPress, but this is a plugin that I have never heard otherwise. With WordPress there are plugins for e-commerce, membership sites, SEO and much much more.  Out of all of those plugins you will hear some prefer one over another for various reasons. Anyone that I have spoken with who has used Gravity Forms has rated it well over any other form plugin they have tried. 

In this video you will see just how easy it is to create a contact form and also how to import a schedule service form. 

 

 

 

By the way if you would like the Service form in the email just let me know and I would be more than happy to send it to you.

WordPress Micro-site Training Series #6 (Time to add the Bling)

Adding some bling to your micro-site

Working on the basics of a website or micro-site isn't near as fun as adding things that change the look of your site. In this video we will add some slides to our slide show, change the site colors and add a logo. I have added a little trick that I use to format images on a page or post also.

WordPress Micro-site Training Series #4 (Planning the layout of your micro-site)

I apologize for getting a little behind on the micro-site series. Posting two today to get caught up a little and have been working on more for next week.

 

Planning out your micro-site

 

Planning the content of your micro-site

Measure twice and cut once to help ensure that your site is built properly for SEO and conversion. Websites and micro-sites are usually created in your imagination well before ever becoming a reality. What tends to happen is you have an idea but aren't quite sure how to lay it all out. This video will show you a tool that I like to use at the beginning stages of a project to help get a better picture.
