If you could hear me do a talk about one subject, what would it be?

Should she be named Serena, or Melody?

@jackmcconnell could be!

The idea behind my brand and why I chose “Siren” is because an affiliate program can be seen somewhat like a siren’s song, attracting people to a location with sweet melody and charm.

I think Serena reminds me of “serene” and “calm” where maybe Melody is more about the song itself.

I even said “Melody” while describing the intent. Hmm.

@rickscully Kinda leaning this way, too. I think it hits the branding better.

So Siren has had a character floating around the website for a while. I think she has become the mascot for the plugin.

I feel like she should have a name. What should it be?

@rickscully I’m thinking something alliterative

@pch lol. I’m thinking Serena, maybe?

@rickscully I could MAYBE see using Calliope as a secondary character in the future, but the other names are just so foreign at this point

@rickscully I'm taking a lot of artistic license when it comes to what a Siren is 😅. They're basically just mermaids in my little world.

I'm looking into integrating something that can help me capture aggregate, and anonymous error monitoring using Sentry for a distributed WordPress plugin. Obviously this would be opt-in.

Is there someone out there who has actually done this who I can chat with? Looking for some insight on things to look out for, how to approach it, etc.

@travislopes Oh that's really good to know.

I was getting some pushback regarding privacy in some other circles, and it kinda freaked me out a bit. I really think having this data would be valuable though, so I want to figure it out.

I need to think a bit about onboarding with Siren. Right now, it kinda just installs the plugin without any context. I don't want to do a full-blown wizard before launch, but maybe a single "getting started" screen would be useful. Hmm.

I sat in with Matt Medeiros’ WP Minute+ Podcast, where we talked about Siren, and how you can use it to create an affiliate program for more-complex, and expensive service-based companies.

I'm doing a limited $49 lifetime deal for Siren Affiliates
at launch. My email list will get early access, and expect it to sell out before I actually launch.

If you're not on the list now, change that. I'm never going to offer a deal this good again.

Please boost for reach! I've been working on this since last August and am really excited to get moving on it.
