WordCamp Ireland - everyone wants to learn the secret sauce (or source) to making money with WordPress #wcirl
It has been a great weekend at WordCamp Ireland. Despite late night socialising in the real world people are back bright and early for more workshops including how to use BuddyPress, multimedia tips and how to find great themes for your website or blog when using WordPress.
One sessions with staning room only was the 'making money with WordPress' by Jason Roe. A few good reminders were:- focus on a niche
- keep your content dynamic
- revenue generation with banner and display advertising, adsense, sponsorship, pay per post, selling links, directory listings, subscription based models, donations. Jason also recommended that you consider using a WordPress plug in to manage rotating ads on your site and he also referenced SkimLinks, CafePress, PHPBayPro plugin. As a side note - if you are using a business blog use advertising on your blog with care so not to distract people from your core services and products. And in terms of good practice remember to disclose where you are receiving payment in terms of good practice under FTC guidelines. Remember to follow the #wcirl hash tag for insights from the event.

WordCamp Ireland in Kilkenny has it's own Kids Camp
The family are in Kilkenny today at Wordcamp Ireland and there are about 250 people here I understand.
Follow the hash tag #WCIRL if you want to catch what people are learning. Hats off to the organisers and thanks to the sponsors who have enabled this event to take place for just 50 euro for the weekend (and of course the speakers who are gifting their time) and in particular Sabrina Dent for what I think must be a first at a BarCamp event - a kids corner. Entertainment and supervision is being provided for the children too. So now Hubby and I can sit back and relax learning more about the virtual world of Wordpress in the full knowledge that our three girls are being looked after. And they will no doubt come back knowing some new friends they met in the real world. If only there were a WordCamp in Ireland every week!Comments [0]
Make a Referral Week - help stimulate the global economy
Referrals make the world go around don't they? Most businesses I know find that the majority of their business comes from referrals be than online of offline.
Small business marketing coach and author John Jantsch hosted 'Make a Referral Week' in 2009 and I am delighted that he is hosting it again during the week of 8-12 March 2010.
So don't forget to add who your referred and why in the comments section at http://www.makeareferralweek.com/referralcounter – you can add URLs so others can learn about the business you referred.
Who will you be referring business to this week?
