When it comes to being profitable, nothing beats a fine-tuned process. As I grew my agency, some 15 years ago, the first thing I looked into was a process kit by friend of the show, Jose Caballer. David Darke joins the airwaves today to tell us about his unique process to connecting with clients over…
Are you gripping to the handlebars of your product launch rollercoaster ride? Buckle up, as you’ll appreciate Lesley’s story in today’s episode. She’s the co-founder of Newsletter Glue which spawned as a small feature inside another product that was nearly extinct. We’ll learn why they spun this feature out, how they are doing market research,…
I’ll give you a second to read today’s show title… That’s how I felt talking to Iain Poulson. Like, this dude is Neo, from the Matrix. How does one person launch and maintain so many products and still have time for everything else? We’ll dive into that in today’s episode and much more! Here are…
Today’s guest is Sebastiaan van der Lans, the Founder & CEO of WordProof.io, a new business working to build trust over the internet through blockchain and WordPress. This was a fantastic conversation that spanned the topics of validating news content, all the way to pitching an innovative product for the chance to win 1 million…
Not to be outdone by their recent 1 million active install celebration, Astra finds itself in some hot murky water. The theme was recently suspended when the theme review team found affiliate links “cloaked” in buttons recommending other plugins. Friend of the show Ron Huereca shows us a code snippet of how they achieved this,…
I recently shared a talk about marketing your WordPress service or business at the London WordPress meetup. Dan Maby, former guest of the show, invited me on share my idea around marketing for today’s WordPress business builders. Of course this is a topic near and dear to my heart, with a spin you might not…
I came across a tweet by the team over at GiveWP sharing Rachel’s message about spinning up a WordPress site in a weekend, which enabled her client to raise $12k in donations. That was enough for me to reach out and invite her on the show to talk about how all of that came together….
I can’t believe it was nearly a year and a half ago when Dany Maby appeared on the podcast to talk about his charitable cause for supporting wellbeing and mental health in the WordPress space. Today he’s back to discuss how the organization has re-branded itself to Big Organge Heart, as a way to reach…
WordPress implementers, the webmasters or site builders in our community, were placed back into the spotlight as I read through Mark Uraines post, Care and Influence: A theory about the WordPress community. I’m convinced Tom McFarlins post, WordPress Developers: Clarifying the title, remains the best definition for these two competing roles in our community —…
I don’t know about you, but I love a good “started from the back of a van and built an empire” story. That’s how Vito Peleg started his agency business many years ago while touring with his band. Today, he’s the founder of WP Feedback, a great tool for supporting WordPress users. Here’s just a…
The last time Dan was on the show, we talked about staying small, operating without that burning desire to scale to unruly levels. I think now, more than ever, we’re all starting to realize that growth at any cost isn’t for everyone. Small products can become big products, or small products can become many products…
Working and learning from Sean during his time at Pagely was a real blessing for me. It’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks, but Sean has a way of solving challenges through methods that would never occur to me. His approach to automating and systemizing the pre-sales process was an experience that transcends…
I’m delighted to interview longtime WordPress podcaster and friend of the show, Jonathan Denwood of WP-Tonic fame. I admire Jonathan’s approach to doing business, that of becoming a story teller (or broadcaster) to hold an engaged audience. There’s no other sorcery or growth hacks involved, just good old fashioned digital boots on the ground. These…
WordPress journalism and news coverage is making a comeback. I’m delighted to sit down and have a chat with my two friends in the WordPress space, Brian Krogsgard and Cory Miller, now partners at Post Status. I often joke that Post Status is a competitor to the Matt Report, truth be told, Brian and Cory…
We’re back! Stoked that WordPress journalism is making a comeback in 2020. Here I was feeling all down and out over covering WordPress and a few friends of mine are re-investing in the space. Happy to see Cory Miller become a partner at Poststatus and finally get Brian working on the company again. 😉 Well-known…
