Visual Content Builder – My Interview with Shane Melaugh of Thrive Themes WPCP: 052
Let’s take a quick stroll down memory lane for a minute, shall we?
I remember a cold winter night in early 2014 where I was hanging out in my family room with my laptop, the fire roaring, and a cozy blanket. I’m lazily going through Facebook when I come across a video for something called the Thrive Content Builder… and within about 30 seconds of watching the video, I knew I had to have it.
Since the very first time I installed and tried the Thrive Content Builder, I have been in love with it.
I’ve done a handful of videos on using the Thrive Content Builder for content, sales pages, and the built-in landing pages. Yep, you read that correctly! You can create a funnel with the Content Builder:

O.M.Gee. I’m 17 minutes into the episode and it is MONEY! Shane offers a fascinating way to look at who we should choose to get advice from. I love the counsel about looking at the sites of conversion experts to learn how to improve conversions. It seems so obvious, but I am guilty of getting blinded by what’s popular or sexy. This year I want to get waaay more focused on what’s effective. You always bring the goods! Thanks!
Thanks Allegra! 🙂
Yep… Shane totally knows what he’s talking about when it comes to conversions! I love that they focus on creating products for WordPress that help the business owner grow their business! Thrive themes definitely walks the walk! And of course all their products look great!
