Marketing Fundamentals to level up your WordPress Business.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaker Bio:<\/strong>
\nI am a digital marketing consultant and trainer based in Nepal with proven expertise in search engine optimization, search engine marketing, display advertising, social media marketing, Local SEO, and WordPress Theme, and Plugin marketing combined with strong content writing and editing skills.<\/p>\n

Session Summary:<\/strong>
\nThe journey of product marketing starts with the conception of the product itself. The success and failure of a product is basically determined during its inception – This may sound a bit prophetic, but conception of a product is the very basis of its success. WordPress got traction because of its underlying concept of open source and its ability to fulfil the most acute principles of UX.<\/p>\n

So, any WordPress product should have this very traits built into it – they should be built to serve a specific function, should be free (at least the most compelling part of it), and most of it should excel in the basic principles of sustained usability. These are the very elements that determine the scope and extent of success of a product on WordPress.<\/p>\n

Apart from this very foundation marketing question, there are complexities (if you don\u2019t know) and simplicities in marketing a product (if you know) on WordPress. As is in marketing, the real challenge (read life long challenge) remains to continuously scale the product, increase sales, monetise it and make it self sufficient in monetary terms to keep it FREE.<\/p>\n

So the questions are, how can a product developer integrate the simple yet complex product marketing principles into actual action? How can they continue to provide the main features of their product for FREE while growing revenue of their paid products?<\/p>\n

If you are plugin developer or theme developer and if you are struggling to meet the development cost of these products, then you might definitely be thinking, how did others succeed in marketing their products that are similar to yours? How did they answer the above questions successfully?<\/p>\n

We can feel that pain! Believe us, we have been through that. And that\u2019s why we have decided to share what we have learned. So, level up your marketing game, join our WordCamp panel discussion this year as we discuss the above and other relevant questions central to the success of developing and marketing a product on WordPress.<\/p>\n

Session Summary:<\/strong>
It\u2019s not strange to know the fact that many people suffer from stage fright and mass fear or anxiety when it comes to public speaking. This implies with IT personnel, developers or designers as well. One can have a hard time if you have a problem in delivering your ideas well with your clients or one can find it really difficult to convince his\/her colleagues about his project if he doesn\u2019t have good speaking skills resulting in unexpected outcomes. So, lack of public speaking skills can be a great hindrance to your success or career as a whole. But public speaking skills can be a silver lining to the clouds as this will allow you to have a better understanding of the subject matter, motivate you to do lots of preparation, implement the theories practically which is mandatory in IT sector and it will also let you explore new things and do more research which is so much essential in this technology driven world where everything keeps on changing with a blink of an eye. So public speaking skills can be a booster to your IT career and it may take you a long way. So why not enhance it for a better us, for our better tomorrow?<\/p>\n
