Under-the-Hood with Admin Columns
The Admin Columns plugin can be an incredibly powerful plugin for WordPress sites. But most of what the plugin does out of the box is buried within some advanced features. During this webinar, not only will we build interesting (and useful) display methods in the admin area, but also take a look at the best practices for preparing a site for the client.
So you think YOU have a bad client?
In the world of freelancing, everyone has stories of that one crazy and unbelievable client. During this webinar, we will be looking at a number of these stores as well as considering boundaries that can be enacted to prevent these situations from repeating.
Competitive Research (or acquiring ignored clients)
The whole field of "competitive research" is a complex minefield of analyzing competitive companies. While this webinar will briefly touch on that aspect, we are going to focus more on how to do "competitive research" to find those ignored clients that would be better off if they were to become your clients.
Building a New Client Communication Plugin

Recurring revenue is the lifeblood of any freelancer or small business owner. During this webinar, we are going to review the top revenue streams for small businesses along with several out-of-the-box concepts that anyone can incorporate into their business.
Continuity Planning
Any business owner should have a plan for "what happens when...". Do you know what will happen to your business if you get injured? unable to work? or the hard-to-image scenario of death. Who takes care of your clients? How do your clients "get their stuff". In this webinar, we will talk about practical tools and systems to help implement a continuity plan for your business.
Pricing for Clients
If WordPress is free, why do you charge your clients? In this webinar, we will walk through all the costs AND how to price items for your clients. We will cover hosting, domains, themes, plugins, advanced features, and more. If you have ever felt like you struggle to price your work, you do not want to miss this webinar.
How to Respond to Client Roadblocks
Closing the deal with clients is a skill that can be learned. It can be frustrating when you get really close to closing a deal with a client and they suddenly throw up one of these common "roadblock" claims. This webinar will help freelancers and business leaders learn how to respond to these types of roadblocks and convert more prospects into clients.
Breakdown of a Client / Freelancer contract sections
A solid contract for web development projects should contain several sections. These sections help manage expectations, allow payments to be processed in a timely manner, and protect both parties in case of the "unusual". In this webinar we will be looking at several example sections of a development contract and how and why you should include something similar.
