About

Who is Jason Annas?

Hey, let me tell you a lit­tle bit about who I am and what I do. I have been design­ing web­sites for over 10 years. I used to actu­ally design web­sites by hand, using a real life note­book with my handy HTML ref­er­ence guide in hand (you know the 1000+ page bricks right?). It wasn’t long until I started design­ing web­sites for small com­pa­nies, and local orga­ni­za­tions. And after a few years, I started get­ting seri­ous, and got a degree, and started work­ing for myself. In the online world I have been writ­ing reviews and writ­ing arti­cles, for the past few years. In the “real world” I help small busi­nesses and orga­ni­za­tions estab­lish a pres­ence online. I help them do any­thing from set­ting up a CMS sys­tem (Word­Press Blog), choos­ing the right theme, cus­tomiz­ing when needed, brand­ing efforts, lead gen­er­a­tion, web­site opti­miza­tion, writ­ing copy, post­ing arti­cles, and one-on-one coach­ing. If they want to rank high in Google for a local term (pho­tog­ra­phy stu­dio), want to allow cus­tomers to place orders online to pickup at their stores, or any­thing else. This is what I tend to do on a daily basis. As such, through time, I have cre­ated sim­ple sys­tems that I can use that allows me to han­dle these tasks at a rapid rate. I will be shar­ing many of those sys­tems here with you at Enlight­ened WebMastery.

My Hob­bies

I spend a lot of my time on the inter­net writ­ing for com­pa­nies, mag­a­zines, ezines and more. I write both copy and arti­cles. I write under many dif­fer­ent pen names, in many dif­fer­ent places. I do get paid for most of it, but even if I didn’t I cant help but write reviews about things I read or watch. I find it very fun to post reviews and help peo­ple make deci­sions that can help their lives. (it also helps when you get cool stuff for free that’s not even on the mar­ket yet hehe) I enjoy read­ing and attend­ing work­shops and con­fer­ences. I try and read at least one book a week. Jim Collins (who is an incred­i­ble per­son) inspired me a while back to read more and more each day. He cre­ated a goal to read 100 books a year. That’s a pretty impres­sive goal, and if he can do it with his incred­i­bly tax­ing sched­ule, then I have no excuse either. Another of my favorite hob­bies is Dig­i­tal Pho­tog­ra­phy. I love going out, hik­ing, and cap­tur­ing images of nature.

Fol­low Me On Twitter

I recently cre­ated a pub­lic account on Twit­ter that you can fol­low me on.  You’re going to want to fol­low me @jasonannas

If you want to share ideas, see what I’m read­ing, or stay in touch I’d love to con­nect with you there. I’m keep­ing Enlight­ened Web­Mas­tery focused on just writ­ing arti­cles, train­ing guides, and gen­eral updates and stuff that you need to know, but to keep up with me per­son­ally, you’re going to want to head over to twit­ter and fol­low me.  I rec­om­mend cre­at­ing an account, when you fol­low me, be sure to send me a response so I know who you are and fol­low you too.

The Enlight­ened Web­Mas­tery Website

What is this site all about? Enlight­ened Web­Mas­tery is all about teach­ing you things that you can do right now and get instant results. I’m going to be tak­ing the things I have learned over the years and share them with you here. One of my goals is to take you from the begin­ning, from some­one who has never cre­ated a web­site, to some­one who dom­i­nates the web. Every­thing I teach will be sim­pli­fied to its essence. Each con­cept, broke down, and told with clar­ity. The web­site will mainly cover stuff that you can do in about 5 min­utes. A lot of peo­ple find some things quite con­fus­ing. As such they either don’t do things, give up, or have to hire some­one. With this resource at your fin­ger­tips, you will no longer need to shell out 50 dol­lars here to upgrade a plu­gin, 50 dol­lars there to upgrade word­press, 80 dol­lars here to install a new theme. I’m going to show you in the most direct way how to do these things, and I’m going to do so for free. You can either use these resources your­self, or you can direct your vir­tual assis­tant to this web­site, and tell them to fol­low the direc­tions here. As the site evolves, and I have cov­ered enough mate­r­ial, I’m going to get into some more higher level con­cepts, things such as Mar­ket­ing, PPC, SEO, Traf­fic Gen­er­a­tion, Con­tent Cre­ation and much more.

Word­Press Foun­da­tions The Course

I wrote the first vol­ume of Word­Press Foun­da­tions sev­eral months ago, and the book has had a hard time stay­ing stock!  To this day, peo­ple still con­tact me about this book, how much it has helped them and helped them finally get online.

I’m so happy that so many peo­ple have enjoyed using Word­Press Foun­da­tions to get online!  Great job! You rock!  After some requests, I went ahead and made a course that takes you deeper, and teaches you more advanced con­cepts when you need them.  Word­Press Foun­da­tions will get you online in min­utes, and have you blog­ging right away.

I felt that Word­Press Foun­da­tions had to be done and had to be out before I worked on this web­site.  I wanted to ensure every­one had the fun­da­men­tals under­stood, could nav­i­gate Word­Press with ease before I could teach some more advanced stuff.  I think Enlight­ened Web­Mas­tery the web­site will be a valu­able resource for any­one who has com­pleted this course, and for any­one with any plans on suc­ceed­ing in the online world.
