Posted By: William Jackson on February 19, 2018 Content Creators: Establish Expectations for WordCamps in 2018 by William Jackson and Aida Correa Twitter @wmjackson @latinapheonix As content creators grow the need for training is increasing, WordCamp conferences meet and many times exceed the needs of beginners, intermediate and veteran bloggers, micro-bloggers, Podcasters and VBloggers. As a speaker and participant of WordCamp conferences a few hints before registering for any WordCamp. You should already have certain expectations for your learning. Having attended and spoken at several WordCamp events in 2017 the benefits are lasting and the friendships a lifetime. The potential for continued collaborations are endless and potentially life changing. There are different expectations for each person if speaking or attending, there needs to be an established plan that fits individual needs based on the session or track. Decide what your goals are as a content creator and how you mesh or combine your plan to learn. The integration of technology that can aid your business and personal growth, build a Brand and Market yourself. There is more to gaining readers, viewers and engagement than a flashy web site, dazzling coding and eye stunning photos, it takes planning and engagement. How you're marketing your Brand and integrating content as an engaging and interactive element makes a difference in achieving the goals you have set. Attending WordCamp assists in finding out what products, services and resources can benefit you and your customers. This includes make sure you have plenty of business cards, your marketing "pitch" is practiced and your appearance matches your Brand. Building a Brand creates future opportunities for investments and expansion outside of normal business lines. The benefit resulting from investing in attending WordCamp may take time and work, networking and building relationships. As a content creator you represent your business so consider the potential of building business relationships. Never judge a person by attire, color or culture, gain insight on how engaging during conversation and interaction. Events like WordCamp / KidCamp and others like Bar Camp, EdCamp for educators provide opportunities to expose youth and teens to applying social skills and learning business skills that are important in commerce, finance and knowledge based careers. KidCamp in WordCamp are growing because the future is with children and teens they too have a stake in building their Brand and their content. They are establishing businesses and building awareness for their contributions. Youth are learning how important building relationships in business are and the connections to future careers. Intellectual design is key because knowledge based careers are expanding. Through KidCamp events youth are building self-confidence, self-awareness, self-determination and self-respect. There is no room for fear and doubt because if knowledge is lacking youth and teens are accessing YouTube to educate and enlighten themselves. Today’s WordCamp means youth and teens should have business cards to understand the experience of participation, the excitement of being present and seen as a contributor and a future speaker. Technology contains and embraces diversity so youth and teens also must model that. WordCamp venues contain great potential to be an awesome experience. To build life-long and generational intellectual learners. Access to wealth resources, intellectual design, community activism through digital community engagement. Building entrepreneurial vision that allows the embracing of adaptation, change and growth. WordCamp is unique, engaging, interactive and empowering.
