Are you ready to learn how to build your network using social media, connect with new customers via your blog and experience new levels of success you never dreamed possible using the cloud?
I bet you are if you’re reading this! Come and see me speak at an event. They’re spread out over the next month from San Francisco to Atlanta to halfway around the world in Malaysia but never fear! Two of them are online so you don’t have to hop a flight to grow your understanding of SEO and building a website in WordPress.
If you’re already planning to attend one of these, great! Give a shout out in the comments!
Over the years I’ve received hundreds of emails from people who are frustrated with technology.
They see a blog post or a video on YouTube and contact me. In 2009 I launched an online training site to provide hands-on learning for current web technologies like WordPress, Joomla, Google Apps and how to drive more traffic by understanding your SEO and Google Analtyics.
Interest has grown and students are now signing up for classes internationally so I had to rethink how I was offering training to accommodate everyone.
I’m very excited to announce the relaunch of my training site, Freshworkshops, as a membership site so now you can learn everything about build your business online in one spot!
There are actually two videos! The first will be the promotional reel for the company and the second, down below, will intro all future training videos
Lot of exciting new training happening at Freshworkshops!
If you’re running a business and feel at times like you’re drowning when it comes to understanding what you need to be using to grow and promote your business, check out the training at Freshworkshops.

I had a Freshworkshops student taking the Build Your Own WordPress Website workshop ask for help to change her WordPress site over to a new domain. She had registered with a .com but wanted to change it to a .com.au as she was in Australia.
I recommend all students setup their hosting at Rochenhost as a WordPress hosting company because of their twice daily backups of customer files and databases, certified Red Hat support folks, amazingly fast response time (usually under 12 minutes) and the cost of their hosting packages are similiar to all those “other” companies like Bluehost, HostGator, GoDaddy, MediaTemple and so on.
Signed into cheapdomains.com.au and changed the “www” and “@” record to point to her shared ip address at Rochenhost
Told Rochenhost we wanted to change the primary domain name to the new .com.au
Connected via FTP to her WordPress site before these changes had taken effect and changed the “WordPress Address (URL)” and “Site Address (URL)” in the wp-config.php file
It’s a live, 3 hour intensive training on WordPress covering everything from post to pages, widgets, plugins, choosing themes and a whole lot more!

Today, I ran across yet another person who still provides their email in the following format as some sort of maladaptive coping mechanism to spam protection:
Whenever possible, I try to educate these folks and help them understand the root problem with spam and how Google addresses it for the millions of email users, businesses and organizations they support.
Here are the details of the two trainings. I’m working on several more. I received so many requests from people who couldn’t make it to the live trainings that this was the next obvious option. Read More…
