WINNING WITH WORDPRESS

November SMC meeting
Thursday 11/17 6:00pm
Immedion - 250 Park St (near Assembly & Whaley)

We will have two special speakers this month: Steve Harvey and Wesley Donehue.

Steve Harvey runs the Upstate WordPress Group:

My name is Stephen Harvey and I have been involved with business, the Internet and Web strategy since the late 1990′s when I began distribution channel sales of software and computer hardware equipment. From that position, I learned to identify customer pain points and deliver solutions that relieved customer stress issues. With this knowledge of customer satisfaction and technology, I pursued additional education in Computer Science.

With real world experience helping clients with technology issues and a Computer Science degree, I went on to develop a position that satisfied my need to be immersed in technology and use technology to provide solutions. As an assistant network administrator for a local technology sales firm, I saw daily how technology was used and utilized by different people and groups. This continued hands-on exposure and learning about technology and people gave me the additional skills needed to develop an entire technology initiative. That is what I accomplished for a Greenville land surveying company. I directed all aspects of technology for the business. Initiatives completed include building an Internet presence via a Web site, blog, and social media channels, and management of all aspects of hardware and software within the company.

I began this Meetup group to bring together WordPress users of varied skill levels to meet and discuss all things concerning WordPress. We meet monthly and cover a variety of topics. All WordPress people are invited to come learn, contribute and be a part of the WordPress community in Upstate South Carolina. For more information about the group and meetings, please refer to the Facebook Group Page. http://www.facebook.com/groups/WordPressGreenville/

Wesley Donehue is a local political consultant extraordinaire:

Wesley Donehue is known as one of the top political Internet consultants in the country. Named a Rising Star by Campaigns and Elections magazine in 2010, Wesley has been working in politics consistently since the age of 15 in South Carolina. He worked for Jim DeMint’s 2004 Senate campaign and then for Mike Bouchard’s 2006 US Senate campaign in Michigan. Wesley holds an impressive 25-3 record in state legislative races.

Recognizing a large hole in low-cost websites for down ballot candidates and thrifty philanthropic organizations, Donehue Direct launched Win With WordPress in 2010. Fundraiser7, an event ticketing application, launched in 2011.

Wesley currently serves as lead political and communications strategist for the SC Senate Republican Caucus and his team leads marketing efforts for the SC Republican Party and campaign strategies for over 25 members of the SC general assembly. Wesley has recently joined the Presidential Campaign of Congresswoman Michele Bachmann as SC Senior Advisor and SC Communications Director.

We’ll have two parts to this month’s meeting. A hands on section where we’ll show you how to get up and running in minutes with a fresh wordpress install and then we’ll move beyond the basics and discuss how to pick a good thing, make sure your content has been SEO’d and much more.
