When you’re passionate about your content, how do you get others interested when you’ve only got 280 characters to pitch yourself in an authentic and passionate way? Especially, when you have limited time, and you have to wear multiple hats, how do you get your social media to work to promote your website without ripping your hair out or banging your head into a wall?

This session will cover tips, tricks, and best practices that let you work smarter rather than harder when it comes to plugging your WordPress site on social media. The talk will predominantly focus on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram.

Laura Byrne Cristiano

Laura started her first WordPress site back in March 2006 when she and a friend and decided to start a website about a then little-known book called Twilight where fans could discuss the novel on a blog and forums. What started as a small site with maybe 30 visitors a week, rapidly grew into the most popular Twilight website on the Internet with millions of visitors each day from around the globe.

Laura was suddenly thrust into a media vortex that included set visits, a book deal, speaking engagements, and too many surreal experiences to count. This lead to Laura transitioning from a career in teaching to one in marketing as she hit the ground running with a whole new skill set including podcasting, video editing, SEO, social media management and content marketing.

Since then, she’s created/written for over twenty WordPress sites mostly in the areas of education and entertainment. Aside from her love of WordPress, Laura is also an Anglophile, avid traveler, theater lover, fantasy junkie, and occasional actor. She currently writes for Hypable.com and does freelance marketing and social media work.
