A new semester of my wildly popular WordPress Website Creation Workshop and Mastermind will begin on January 18th. Registration is now open and preview Webinars will be available this week.

In the WordPress Website Workshop each student will have their own professional WordPress Website and blog setup in the first week of class and learn to customize and manage it for their particular niche. How to integrate with social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, etc) will be covered as well as strategies and techniques to grow your audience and monetize your site. Workshop includes 10 live weekly training Webinars, homework assignments, live Q&A follow-up sessions and 6 months of weekly coaching/strategies for growing your blog. In addition, students will have the opportunity to create additional WordPress Websites as we teach niche and hyperlocal strategies and how to engage community.
