Her first website was built using Thesis, which she felt had a clean design and it was simple to customize without a designer.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I know a thing or two about generating traffic to blogs.<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When she first built her WordPress site, blogging was the main way she generated traffic. She then learned SEO strategies and applied them to her blog to get organic traffic. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">From there, bloggers, podcasters, and customers found her blog, commented, and\/or contacted her to collaborate or to hire her to help them. She <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">works with them to see where a lot of their problems are and then devises a plan to help them turn things around. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We are excited that Shay Banks is now part of our WordCamp DFW community. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>With WordPress, there is always something new or something that another developer tried that worked. The community has tons of answers to questions people may not have even thought of yet.<\/em>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Use the hashtag #WCDFW, when live-tweeting from Shay Banks&#8217; session, and make sure you ask her about how she\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">started freelance copywriting in Las Vegas using the Yellow Pages to find leads!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>If you are not yet signed up for WordCamp DFW, <a href=\"https:\/\/2019.dfw.wordcamp.org\/tickets\/\">get your Tickets now<\/a>.
