Public Speaking, Training and Seminars
Maybe you don't need to hire us to do the heavy lifting but want to pick our brains to improve your own skills -- we can do that too. We have spoken at WordCamp Victoria, Social Media Club and FreelanceCamp Victoria. We can present seminars or hands-on workshops for small to mid-size groups and we can train or tutor individuals one-on-one. Contact us then buy online if you'd like to have us speak about or train you in any of these areas:

Blogging (beginner to advanced) Social Media (individuals or business use) Web Design Wordpress (various topics) Drupal (beginner to advanced) Freelancing Publishing & promoting your e-book Guerrilla Marketing in the digital age any other topic that seems to fall into our skills or interests!

"Mike gave a fantastic technical presentation at WordCamp Victoria 2012 on converting from Drupal to WordPress. His skills in both platforms are very thorough, and his presentation style is very organized, and methodical." - WordCamp, 2012
