What do you enjoy most about working in WordPress?
On the one hand, there are strong and sometimes unwritten rules about what you can or shouldn’t do in the WordPress environment. From a business perspective, this often doesn’t make it easy.
On the other hand, however, the WordPress community offers a lot of freedom. There are so many possibilities to try things out and develop our business. That gives me great pleasure. And many old hands in the community are happy to offer advice or even act as mentors. This is something that I have never experienced in this form in any other industry before.
What do you love most about your Post Status membership?
Post Status enables me to easily get in touch with other business owners in the WordPress sector. People who are going the same way as we are, and have interesting experiences to share. People who might become future partners. Peers who might be able to share valuable contacts.
And last but not least, people who might benefit from me sharing my experiences and contacts. It’s a great network for business-oriented people in WordPress.
What business/web/WordPress advice do you have for others in our industry?
Don’t be shy and try to get to know lots of people in the community. Talk to everyone, share your thoughts and ideas and above all, LISTEN WELL! Like I said, people in the WordPress community are happy to offer good advice, to help you and to mentor you. This may be extremely helpful and valuable for you and your business.
