WishList Member Live |

.
Wishlist Member LIVE is *THE* Event For People Creating
Online Communities or Membership Sites.

During these two days, you’ll discover:

There is a lot of information that will be covered at this event and you’ll be able to pick and choose sessions that are most appropriate to you because we’ve divided one of the days into two “tracks”.

Track #1 – Setup and Design

These sessions are best suited for the intermediate and advanced WordPress user and/or webmaster. During each presentation you’ll hear from industry leaders on how to tweak certain themes, plugins and core code to get the ultimate effect for you or your clients.

So if “code tweaking” is your thing, you’ll have a field day interacting with our experts in these sessions.

Track #2 – Content, Community and Marketing

If you’re more of a “content creator” or “marketing nutt” then Track #2 is going to be right up your alley as we’ll be diving into effective ways to create compelling content that keep existing members “hooked” month after month while continuously increasing new signups.

Plus, we’ll be exploring specific strategies for increasing member interaction, website traffic and sales.

At the end of these sessions you’ll know how to create content people really want, how to get them to your site and how to convert them into paying members who love you and your site.

NOTE: One of the nice things about this event is that you’ll be able to “flip” between each track based on the sessions that YOU want to attend. So you have plenty of flexibility

Adii Rockstar (born Adriaan Pienaar) is an entrepreneur, the co-founder of the very successful online startup WooThemes and a general creator of Rockstar Awesomeness. Along with being a serial entrepreneur, he is also a designer & developer (CSS, PHP & WordPress), which has spawned his other company – a boutique design & development agency – Radiiate.

At the young age of 25, Adii has revolutionized both his business and personal life. Back in 2007, he decided to call himself a “rockstar”; so the rockstar-tag is very much a result of some subjective marketing on his side.

During Adii’s presentations you’ll discover how to apply the “rockstar awesomeness” to your membership site allowing you to quickly become THE leader in your market. In addition, Adii will be showing a variety of design and setup tips and tricks when combining a WooTheme with WishList Member.
