Get Involved!

The WooCommunity has been growing from strength to strength these last few months and we’re excited about the dynamism and activity that is being generated from within. We’re keen to further fuel this activity and step up the value that is being created by members of the WooCommunity.

Our first initiative is to start publishing more tutorials and we’re hoping that some of those will be submitted by WooUsers. Last week we ran a poll on our Facebook page asking for input on the things we’re supposed to be blogging about and tutorials (both WP-related and design-related) came out on top.

Since you are the guys & girls using our themes the most, we figured that you’re in a great position to share what you’re doing with our themes. This is the type of content we’re looking for…

• Have you created an awesome modification of one of our themes? Well then, we’d love for you to share your process, thoughts & experiences in a case study (similar to this one by Nick Daughtery).
• Is there a particular, popular plugin that you use on all your WP + Woo-powered websites? We’d love to read a tutorial of how you go about integrating that with the WooFramework.
• If you’re doing a lot of WooThemes modification work, then we’d love for you to share your workflow and any tips that you’ve accumulated along the way.

These are obviously just examples of the content we’re looking for, but it’ll give you a good idea of what we’re after. If we’ve piqued your interest, go on & submit your idea here.

What’s in it for me?

You may rightly be asking what is in it for you, so we’ve compiled a list of benefits…

1. We’ll be publishing a little bio (including a few relevant links) of you along with the post you submitted. Considering that WooThemes.com receives more than 2.5m pageviews a month, we believe you’ll be getting loads of inbound traffic & exposure from this.
2. In selecting the user-submitted tutorials to publish, we’ll only select the very best. So if yours does get published, you’ll earn a certain amount of kudo’s within the WooCommunity for your skills, which in turn can result in good business / project leads (considering that the readers would be your target audience for new work).
3. Writing tutorials generally means you’re also learning more, because whilst it’s easy doing something, writing it down requires you to look at things from a different angle.

So if you’re keen, we’d love to hear from you right away. Submit your idea for a tutorial / case study / blog post to us and then we’ll review (just to make sure that the topic is viable) and get back to you with the rest of the details.
