This presentation is designed for companies, professionals (lawyers, physicians, etc), entrepreneurs, and solopreneurs who want a presence online.
What do you want people to learn from your presentation?
I want my audience to feel that they have learned at least one thing from my talk that will help them avoid time consuming and costly mistakes when building their online business.
What attracted you to WordPress in the first place?
- Great community of very smart and enthusiastic people who provide resources for individuals and companies who want an online presence.
- Solid platform to build an online business.
What are you most looking forward to at WordCamp Toronto?
I am looking forward to meeting other people as enthused about WordPress as I am.
Why did you decide to speak at WordCamp Toronto?
I felt that I had learned enough about building an online business to share my ideas with other people. WordCamp is a perfect forum to share ideas and get feedback.
