  • Please don’t ever stop!

    I just wanted to say thank you for all the value, insights, and tips you pack into your WP Edge newsletter. This newsletter is the only one I always read, because you often give strategies and tips that I feel truly move the needle. Please don’t ever stop! 😀

  • great way to keep up-to-date on what’s going on
    I’ve been a client of David’s concierge service for a number of years and I also receive his weekly Edge newsletter. Getting the Edge every week is a great way to keep up-to-date on what’s going on in the world of WordPress as well as receiving lots of other useful information from David.

  • I always come away with something useful and actionable.

    The WP Edge newsletter has become one of the few emails I actually look forward to each week. What I appreciate most is his practical and down-to-earth approach. David doesn’t just repeat what everyone else is saying—he shares thoughtful insights and real-world advice drawn from experience. Every issue feels like it’s written by someone who’s been in the trenches of online business and truly understands what it’s like to build and run a WordPress-based business. Whether he’s covering content strategy, site optimization, or smart ways to think about your audience, I always come away with something useful and actionable.

  • I’m always on the lookout for this newsletter in my inbox every Monday!
    I discovered David’s newsletter back in 2018, right at the start of my WordPress journey, and I’ve been a reader ever since. It’s never a boring read – you get fresh insights from the WordPress trenches, plus a peek into David’s evolving workflow and various findings. He has a curious mind, an eye for quality, and a practical approach that makes every edition both useful and inspiring. I’m always on the lookout for this newsletter in my inbox every Monday! 🙂

  • a well-rounded newsletter
    As a Concierge client, I love receiving the WP Edge because I can rely on David to keep me abreast about all things Wordpress. It’s not something I have the time to keep up with on my own, so it’s really valuable to me and my peace of mind to know that David is always out there looking for the best plugins and best implementations for Wordpress sites. I also appreciate the business strategies that he shares. It’s a well-rounded newsletter and I look forward to reading it every week.

  • always pleasant, solution-oriented, and effective
    I’ve been subscribed to David’s newsletter for many years, and it’s one of the few I genuinely look forward to reading. I’m not a technician and not from the field, yet the newsletter is always informative and helpful for my decisions. David writes with such great humor, and it’s truly fun to dive into the world of WordPress with him. We’re also clients of his Concierge Program, and his support—always pleasant, solution-oriented, and effective—is incredibly valuable for me as an online academy. We honestly wouldn’t want to miss him! Thank you!

  • Every issue feels like a conversation

    Every issue feels like a conversation with someone who’s been in the trenches — David doesn’t just share what’s working, he’s transparent about what isn’t, and what to avoid. I really appreciate the time and effort he puts into staying current, testing new ideas, and translating his experience into practical takeaways. This newsletter is one I genuinely look forward to each week. Even when I can’t read it right away, I hit the snooze button so it pops back up later — because I know there’s something in there worth saving. In fact, I’ve kept several past editions to revisit when I have time to implement the tips and strategies he shares. To sum it up: David’s newsletter isn’t just another marketing email; it’s an ongoing masterclass from someone who’s lived it, learned it, and still shows up to help others grow.

I’m David Risley and I’ll be your assistant into the world of WordPress each week in The WP EDGE. Not just WordPress, but also business strategy. I’ve been working online myself since 1998, have personally generate millions of dollars online, and have been using WordPress (for myself and clients) for many years.

We are based out of sunny Florida. One of my biggest passions is traveling in our RV with my wife and kids, living a balance of work and play. I’m a shorts-and-sandals guy, and I’m most at home sitting in a folding chair, in a campsite, smoking the occasional cigar.
