Special event with two talks aimed at business owners and bloggers.
Talk 1: WooCommerce Website Considerations for Beginners, by CJ Andrew
Talk 2: How to Build your Business Blog, by Claire Brotherton
Doors open 6:00 pm. Talks start at 6:30 pm.
Coffee/Tea and Cake will be available for attendees.
ABOUT THE TALKS
* WooCommerce Website Considerations for Beginners
WooCommerce offers an opportunity for anyone to sell anything beautifully online. This free plugin expands the scope of a website by introducing ecommerce functionality.
Ecommerce, however, comes with several challenges that may affect small businesses or individuals. These challenges are visible and are often costly, even if WooCommerce is in use.
This talk shares insight into how a beginner or early-start ecommerce store might apply WooCommerce to their advantage. It will discuss some of the potential challenges that newcomers to WooCommerce need to be aware of. The talk will also offer specific recommendations and suggestions, which every new WooCommerce store owner should consider.
Attendees will come away with proven strategies and best practices, which they can apply to their own WooCommerce storefronts.
* How to Build your Business Blog
Right from the start of my working life with WordPress I knew I wanted to have a blog. I started with one post a month but quickly realised that wasn’t enough. It wasn’t until I kick-started my blog with a daily blogging challenge that it really began to gain traffic. Keeping a regular blog has helped me get an ongoing job writing for WPMU Dev.
My talk will cover how to start blogging, how to come up with a stream of ideas and stay consistent and how to measure your success (not all of it is in the numbers).

WordPress Meetups are for the benefit of the WordPress community as a whole, not specific businesses or individuals. All actions taken as an event organizer are with the best interest of the community in mind.
Membership in the local meetup group is open to all who wish to join, regardless of ability, skill, financial status or any other criteria.
Meetups are volunteer-run with volunteer speakers. In cases where a modest attendance fee might be necessary, this fee should only cover the costs of the meetup and shouldn’t be used to pay speakers or organizers.
Meetup groups allow events to be organized by any reliable/trusted member of the community.
Meetups are welcoming places where everyone works to foster an accepting environment which is free of discrimination, incitement to violence, promotion of hate, and general oaf-like behaviour.
A monthly meetup in Glasgow for people who use or want to learn more about the Ruby programming language, through guided discussion in a friendly environment. This month we'll meet in the Saramago Bar upstairs at the CCA.
