He designs websites to do only three things

We met two days ago. He is the IT director for a regional self-storage company. And he designs his websites to let his customers :

  1. buy
  2. pay
  3. contact

Self -storage. Who knew?

Everything his website does is designed to drive his customers to one of those three actions. Period.

He claims to have made $100,000 as a high school senior. He got into designing websites as a competition with his friends to see could be the best.

Asked him if what he had just shared was anywhere on his website. Why? Because it tells a potentially compelling story that may engage his audience to do what he hopes more often.

He also has an eight-year old son and he is not exactly at a healthy BMI for men his age (30’s). His path is probably not going to change unless he has a wakeup call.

Maybe we could barter.

Time will tell. It always does.

WordPress Orlando Meetup

 

(photo: Only half of those RSVP-ing yes actually showed up at yesterday’s Orlando WordPress Meetup)

What does it mean when we say, “Time will tell?”

WordCamp Orlando in less than two months away. They are looking for a few more speakers.

It’s highly likely they’ve never had a world class professional keynote speaker at any of their meetings.

Ever.

Makes sense.

The people speaking are developers, programmers, and creative geniuses. They are not speakers.

Maybe they could use a speaker on how to enhance speaking skills.

Or maybe a speaker on how to dream impossible dreams.

After four years attending WordPress Orlando Meetups, maybe there will soon be an opportunity to give back.

Time will tell.

Write about the stuff that dominates your life

Write about the stuff that dominates your life…

We were talking about Disney and why there’s so much of it on these blogs.

And like this other post today, it’s relatively obvious.

Disney occupies 60 hours of every week.

In some ways work is the center of our lives. If you subtract sleep, work is the lion’s share of where we spend our time.

And when we’re on vacation guess what happens, these posts revolve around vacation.
