When drafting your content pieces, you know how to craft the most engaging and shareable articles. You are a thought leader in your niche and your audience loves you. After spending your energy writing for other publications and building up a dedicated following, you realize it’s time to launch your own blog to start driving that traffic and interest towards your website and brand, as opposed to a third-party host. It’s a big step to build your own blog but well worth the effort. This blog will help you build a personal brand and keep your content on your platform which allows you to build SEO around your website, and also gives you the freedom to edit your content on demand and publish what you truly want to.

The first step to launching your blog is to find a domain name, of course! But with so many options, how do you choose the right domain name for your content? We are here to present you the best domain names for whatever it is you’re writing about. If you’ve already done a quick search and found your ideal domain name isn’t available, don’t be discouraged! There are plenty of options that’ll help you stand out and rock your new blog!

Go Niche with your Domain Name

Whether you teach yoga, or own a cafe, or run an agency, or are a tour guide on a cruise, there is a domain name extension that is perfectly tailored to what you do. If you want to talk about beer all day long or coffee, there’s a domain name extension for that. Don’t be afraid to own your niche and show what you focus on with your domain name.

Summary: WordCamp Miami needs some help. Can you be a hero?

---

WordCamp Miami has many types of heroes – from the volunteers that are giving their time to make sure a quality event is enjoyed by all… to the speakers who are donating their time and money to educating the audience.

There is another particular type of hero are sponsors. Sponsors truly make the event happen (in addition to ticket sales). Without sponsors the tickets would be $100+ easily and programs like the Kid’s Camp likely wouldn’t happen at all (or happen at a smaller scale).

Of course, in this economy it’s tough to pay a relatively large amount to sponsor a conference. Even with a variety of ways to give financially back to the WordPress community ($99 to $350 to $4000 for a sponsorship), it’s challenging in today’s economy. So with that being said, WordCamp Miami over the past decade has deeply appreciated ALL sponsors – even the ones that are unable to give alot. It’s actually a little known fact that community and agency sponsorships can add up big time and provide a better experience for attendees.

Cutting To The Chase

With sponsors being as important as they are, we are looking for a few more. In fact, we are looking for a particular sponsor who can be fill the last open Gold Sponsorship spot and truly as as a WordCamp Miami hero.

Several unforeseen costs this year have risen, and WordCamp Miami has made adjustments to compensate. This has fit in with our new general goal of making the conference “simpler and more streamlined” in terms of cost and complexity after our last year’s 10th anniversary event.

Our event has made budget adjustments. Trimmed the fat. But even so WordCamp Miami needs your help.

– We have an open GOLD SPONSORSHIP but also sponsorships at other levels. Any sponsorship would be appreciated.
– Spreading the word. Perhaps you know of a great WordPress company or a great local company that would be interested in helping out (and in turn WordCamp Miami can see how we can help promote or thank them). Can you help promote this page on Facebook or Twitter?
– Can you volunteer to help with recording sessions with our video equipment or volunteer for any of the positions mentioned on our volunteer page?

What are the funds being used for? Specifically this is our focus:

– Covering additional venue costs.
– Sponsorships and discounted tickets for students and those in under privileged and under represented groups. We want to be able to provide an educational experience to as many people as possible. While the education is low cost (speakers are volunteering their time and are not paid), WordCamp Miami still needs to provide a quality experience in terms of recordings, food, and other basics.

What Do I Do Now?

– After reviewing our sponsor page, please feel reach out to us with questions directly.

WordCamp Miami is one of the highlights of SiteGround’s WordPress event calendar. It’s got everything: good content, great people, and a much-needed dose of warm weather.

This is the 8th year in a row that we sponsor, attend, and speak at WordCamp Miami. However, this time, on top of our usual strong presence, we also have three SiteGround Ambassadors attending and presenting: Michelle Schulp, Joe Casabona, and David Wolfpaw.

This speaker hat-trick is a big deal, since our Ambassador Program was launched just last year. The program’s purpose is to increase the exchange of knowledge by financially supporting individuals who are recognized for their expertise and dedication to the community so they can travel and speak at more events. That was a natural next step for SiteGround on top of sponsoring WordCamps, mentoring and sharing our know-how with WordPress users around the world.

We’re proud to be part of WordCamp Miami once gain. Be sure to check out these sessions by SiteGround employees and ambassadors and stop by our booth to say hi!
