Build a business you can comfortably run, not one that runs you.

Hey, you!

There’s only one certainty when it comes to building a successful WordPress business.

It’s going to be a breeze hard.

You’ll have lots of hurdles to overcome and challenges to tackle. You’ll make lots of mistakes along the way, have plenty of sleepless nights and have to sacrifice time with friends and family.

But it’s 2020 and we need to talk about one way every single business owner can make their lives a little bit (or maybe even a whole lot) easier…

Most people think there’s some “trick” or “growth hack” that will help you grow and scale the company of your dreams.

But that’s not what we’re here to talk about. Can I be frank?

All that talk is bullsh*t.

The truth is…there are a million great paths you can take to grow a successful WordPress businenss.

And I know from personal experience (and from the 100s of WP professionals I’ve chatted with) that monthly recurring revenue can inarguably makes it easier to grow month-over-month.

And that’s why we’re so freakin’ pumped to host the WPMRR 2020 Virtual Summit. Whether your into plugins, themes, page buildiers, hosting, agency or freelance work, or are just starting your journey as a WordPress professional, I hope you’ll join us.

Here’s to making 51% of the web open-source!

WP Buffs will be donating $1 per registrant to Lawyers for Good Government

In the wake of the 2016 election, an army of more than 125,000 lawyers, law students and activists rose up in defense of the values, principles, individuals and communities that make America a truly great nation.

Their mission is to protect and strengthen democratic institutions, resist abuse of power and systemic injustice, and defend the rights of those who suffer in the absence of good government.

Here’s some of the great work they’re doing:

LAWYERS FOR RACIAL JUSTICE: L4GG is currently building an initiative to combat systemic racism by providing pro bono legal support to front line racial justice organizations across the country. Lawyers for Racial Justice will focus both on creating lasting change through advocacy and responding to the current effects of discriminatory policies.
 
COVID-19 SMALL BUSINESS & NONPROFIT LEGAL CLINICS: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, L4GG is partnering with thousands of attorneys from more than 140 law firms across the nation to provide microbusiness owners and nonprofit leaders legal advice to create economic stability. To date, L4GG has provided consultations to more than 850 small business owners and nonprofit leaders.
 
PROJECT CORAZON: In partnership with 40 major law firms, L4GG provides legal assistance to asylum seekers at border crossings and in detention centers through a combination of staff and a network of pro bono lawyers across the country. Since 2018, L4GG has assisted more than 7500 asylum seekers with legal representation they otherwise wouldn’t have access to.
 
CLIMATE CHANGE: L4GG mobilizes volunteer attorneys across the country to assist municipalities in overcoming legal hurdles in their quest to convert to 100% renewable energy.
 
Join us in supporting an organization that’s on the front lines of making the world a better place.

Shape Created with Sketch.

Over the past 7 years, I’ve always been excited to work on digital events and the WPMRR Virtual Summit is no different. I’m excited to be consulting on this project and am super confident that together, we’ll make this one of the most actionable and authentic online WordPress conferences ever.

WPSessions, WordSesh, WooSesh

The WPMRR Virtual Summit is free, so you have nothing to lose by grabbing your spot. But we’re happy to answer your questions anyway.

What will you do with my email address?

It will be added to our email list in ConvertKit and tagged as WPMRR Summit attendee.

WP Buffs will send you a few emails before the summit. You’ll get an update when we announce conference details, speaker announcements, etc.

Then we’ll probably send you a few emails after the summit as well. We’ll probably ask you for a bit of feedback, what you liked and where we can do better next year.

After that, we may send you some free eBooks, podcast episodes and other free stuff to help you grow your monthly recurring revenue. Boom!

WP Buffs is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy, and we’ll only use your personal information to administer your account and to provide the products and services you requested from us. From time to time, we would like to contact you about our products and services, as well as other content that may be of interest to you. Bufftastic!

 

What makes your digital conference so special?

It’s the only online event exclusively focused on where WordPress and monthly recurring revenue meet.

Let’s say you have a Venn diagram with WordPress on one side and MRR on the other, this summit will literally rock the intersection. Boom!

Plus, it’s free.

 

Can I (or my company) join as a sponsor?

Traditional sponsorships are so boring. You pay us money, we put your logo on the website, thank you during the conference, link out to your website, blah blah blah…

But if you have a cool, non-traditional idea about how you can sponsor, we’d love to hear about it. Feel free to email Joe directly or DM him in the Making WordPress or PostStatus Slack groups.

 

Can I still attend even if I'm not already part of the WordPress community?

We’ll have a few speakers who are very accomplished but not very well known in the WordPress space. This is to encourage WP folks to start to understand subscription services from a SaaS and product perspective, not simply a WordPress one.

In that same vein, while we’ll be chatting a lot about WordPress, you’ll have plenty of learning moments even if you’re not an active member of the WordPress community.

Plus, it’s a great opportunity to convert you into the WordPress community cult.

 

Will there be recording of all the session available after the summit?

You know it!

Honestly, we have’t thought much about what exactly we’ll do with them. There’s a chance we’ll put them behind a paywall (since they’re going to be valuable af) but we’ve been know to give a lot of stuff out for free so that’s definitely what we’re leaning towards.

You will have to actually attend the conference live to be eligible to for all the sick prizes we’re giving away. Just FYI!
