Wordcamp for WordPress!
John with Matt Mullenweg, the Creator of WordPress
Recently, I made the trip to downtown Chicago for Wordcamp! Wordcamp is a weekend long seminar for those who are interested in WordPress, which is the content management system that I use for my website designs. Why did I go?
The answer is very simple…I love WordPress! I know how to configure my WordPress sites to rank as high as possible in the search engines. When considering one of my optimization packages, no other type of website works as efficiently with it then a WordPress blog. Not that other types of sites will not work, but WordPress sites tend to work a little bit better and faster!
You might be asking yourself if a WordPress site is right for your business? My opinion is YES!!! WordPress sites can be configured so that they do not appear to be actual blogging websites. They can have pages that are static in nature for business content, and then they can incorporate categories for posting new and updated content on a routine basis. This is what Google loves! Be sure to contact me if you are interested in a WordPress site or if you would like to supercharge the search engine rankings for a site that you already own!
Connecting the Dots with Rockford College
Just in case you may not have read my marketing background posting, I am an alumnus of Rockford College here in Rockford, IL. I received my 4-year bachelor’s degree in Business Marketing from them in 2004 and am very proud to have graduated from there with Magna Cum Laude honors.
Recently, I was invited to their “Connecting the Dots” program that they were having for their current students. This program is quite interesting. The college invites alumni of the past that have interesting and unique careers and then they say a few words about their job. I jumped at this opportunity….as I jump to talk about internet marketing almost any day of the week! I would estimate that there were about 12 to 15 alumni that were at the event to speak, and I am proud to say that I was a part of it! Sharing my experience as a 100% independent full time internet marketer with students who are almost ready to graduate was quite an experience. When I graduated from Rockford College in 2004, I had no idea that internet marketing was in my future, but I sure am glad that I found it!
Rockford Cosmopolitan Club
John LiCausi and the Internet Marketing Helpline recently became a member of the Cosmopolitan Club in Rockford, IL. The Cosmopolitan Club is a collection of businessmen who feel the need to volunteer in their community. We have weekly lunches as well as host many speakers from not-for-profit organizations. Not only is this great for business networking, but the donations and time that is invested by these businessmen is going towards a good cause! I highly recommend that you research and join your local Cosmopolitan Club if you are a businessman!
