Kinda got &#8218;infected&#8216; with Milans enthusiasm for Community. Most of the team at ManageWP at that time were lead organizers for WordPress in Serbia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since then, I&#8217;ve been somewhat active in the local community. Speaking in few local Meetups and conferences. Generally spreading knowledge I acquired during my career with local WordPressers and students in Belgrade, Zrenjanin &amp; Novi Sad (all in Serbia).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I got pretty excited about it all once I saw that my humble knowledge can really help young students, designers and developers expand their knowledge and help them choose a path for their further development. In fact, some of the folks that were attending the talks last year, launched their own small web design companies centered around WordPress and I&#8217;m <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">super-psyched about their success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can say I&#8217;m pretty passionate about digital transformation and helping my community to get on that path. I see it as a way of modernizing and expanding your view and your reach, where the possibilities are simply endless.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>What does WordPress and WordCamp mean for you<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8218;Freedom&#8216; is the most singular word that I would use to describe how I see WordPress. The freedom to have your voice and place in the digital world. And I see the WordCamps as a way to connect to similar minded people, to gather and share knowledge and to push WordPress even further, because <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I see it as the future of the Web<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> with it&#8217;s openness and community behind it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>How did you get to WordPress and how do you use it?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I&#8217;ve been lightly using WordPress for almost a decade. Mostly for some small personal websites for friends and family. But I&#8217;ve become active in the Community only in the last year or two. I got introduced to it by my colleagues at ManageWP and since then I&#8217;ve been strong supporter if not enthusiastic advocate about using WordPress. Now, it&#8217;s at the same time my career path and personal quest. I basically use to offer solutions to numerous local problems. For instance, I&#8217;ve been pushing the idea about the series of local Hakatons that will focus on solving some local issue by making the website and a solution on top of the WordPress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Why did you choose the subject (topic) you are about to talk about (How to make the most of your website with Google Analytics) ?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During my career in digital marketing and analytics, i noticed that a lot of web developers and small business owners do not understand how the analytics can help them improve their business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>What do you teach us \/ say on your lecture?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In short, I go over the main GA dashboard elements by explaining their <\/span><b>value through practical examples<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (from years of experience) as opposite to just saying what they do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>If you have a special point to the conclusion, here with him \ud83d\ude42<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is just another tool helping you reach your destination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For the end, I want to thank you for the opportunity to speak and inviting me to Bratislava.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Looking forward meeting everyone and exchanging ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Currently, I&#8217;m a Product Marketing Manager working for GoDaddy on the GoDaddy Pro program.
