I&#8217;ve gotten a few requests for information about WordPress development, but I&#8217;m really not an expert myself, so I&#8217;ve been relying on the expertise of others.\\n\\nOne of the companies I had great experiences with regarding WordPress is <a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wpradius\" target=\"_blank\">WP Radius<\/a>. The two founders:\u00a0Todd Schwartzfarb and\u00a0Brandon Yanofsky have been really helpful answering many of my questions and providing excellent support for WordPress bloggers so that they don&#8217;t have to be WordPress experts.\\n\\n<a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wpradius\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-13362 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/wpradius.png\" alt=\"wpradius\" \/><\/a>\\n\\nI did a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=r6DPbYznB3s\" target=\"_blank\"> video interview with Brandon<\/a>, and I asked Todd to write this post, that I&#8217;ve included below.\\n\\nIf you get a chance, <a href=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wpradius\" target=\"_blank\">head on over to WP Radius to check out their service<\/a>. It&#8217;s a pretty neat concept. They&#8217;ll basically maintain your WordPress site, but the awesome thing is they offer unlimited email support and site jobs. This means that if you have a question about WordPress, you can ask an expert that will personally answer your question. Better yes, they&#8217;ll actually fix your problem. The service has already saved me a huge amount of time and I expect that it will continue to do so.\\n\\nI hate wasting time trying to figure out why something isn&#8217;t working or tweaking themes when I could be using my time writing a blog post instead.\\n\\nAnyway, without further delay, here is Todd&#8217;s post about two programmers turned WordPress entrepreneurs\\n\\n[divider style=&#8217;full&#8217;]\\n\\nMany programmers possess the traits and skills needed to become successful entrepreneurs &#8211; qualities such as \u00a0intelligence, creativity, problem solving ability, and the desire to create. \u00a0It\u2019s no surprise then that programmers make some of the world\u2019s best entrepreneurs. \u00a0One need only look at \u201cgeeky\u201d programmers turned billionaires like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg as illustrations of this point.\\n\\nIn recent years, many technologists wishing to become entrepreneurs have leveraged WordPress as a foundation off which to build their companies. \u00a0WordPress is both free (making start up costs low) and well established in the market (making possible a large potential client base).\\n\\nIf you are a programmer and have ever thought of starting a WordPress based business, you\u2019ll want to read more about the two wordpress entrepreneurs profiled here &#8211; Syed Bhalki and Chris Lema.\\n\\n<\/p>\n<h2><b>Syed Balkhi<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>\\n\\n<a href=\"https:\/\/syedbalkhi.com\/about\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-13365\" src=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/syed-balkhi.png\" alt=\"syed balkhi\" \/><\/a>\\n\\nSyed is the founder of <a href=\"http:\/\/wpbeginner.com\" target=\"_blank\">WPBeginner.com<\/a> &#8211; one of the largest and most popular free websites about WordPress.\\n\\nAs the name suggest, WPBeginner offers free tutorials, guides, advice, help, news and articles to beginners on how to use and get the most from WordPress.\\n\\nIn addition to WPBeginner, Syed is the founder or several other WordPress based companies including OptinMonster (a plugin company), List25 (a media property), and ThemeLab (a theme development company) \u00a0Several of these companies each individually bring in over 7 figures annually!\\n\\nAt the age of 7, Syed had his first taste of entrepreneurialism when he started a business selling holiday greeting cards in his native Pakistan. \u00a0He then started a small snack shop for his neighborhood at 9.\\n\\nAfter moving to America, Syed learned programming while in school and started offering freelance web development services to clients. He built a steady business; however, when his clients started requesting changes to their sites he could not keep up. \u00a0In order to ease the maintenance burden, Syed transitioned all of his clients sites to a new (at the time) single, easy to use platform called WordPress. \u00a0When the clients started asking questions about WordPress (what it was, how to use it, etc), Syed decided to start WPBeginner as a repository for his answers.\\n\\nSyed credits his entrepreneurial success to his self described \u201ccompetitive\u201d nature. \u00a0He says, \u201cEver since I can remember, I have been extremely competitive which makes me hustle at everything that I do.\u201d \u00a0The word \u201chustle\u201d comes up frequently when peers describe Syed. \u00a0Mattreport.com, a popular WordPress blog and podcast, singles out Syed as the person who \u201cput the hustle in being a WordPress Entrepreneur.\\n\\nHis advice to developers who may want to be entrepreneurs but maybe lack the confidence or feel too introverted to talk to the right people?\\n\\n\u201cYeah, its not rocket science\u201d, says Balkhi. \u00a0\u201cThey [influential people] are just humans. \u00a0They\u2019re people&#8230;just go and be a normal person and have a conversation.\u201d\\n\\n<\/p>\n<h2><b>Chris Lema<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>\\n\\n<a href=\"http:\/\/chrislema.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13366 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/chris-lema-1-1024x254.png\" alt=\"chris lema\" width=\"1024\" height=\"254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/chris-lema-1-1024x254.png 1024w, https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/chris-lema-1-300x74.png 300w, https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/chris-lema-1-768x191.png 768w, https:\/\/simpleprogrammer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/chris-lema-1.png 1430w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\\n\\n<a href=\"http:\/\/chrislema.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chris Lema<\/a> is the CTO and Chief Strategist of CrowdFavorite &#8211; a web development and marketing agency boasting clients such as Starbucks and Walmart. \u00a0He is also a WordPress author, blogger, speaker, and digital strategist.\\n\\nFor many years, Chris had a \u201cregular\u201d technology job working in enterprise software. \u00a0However, in his spare time Chris became more and more interested in and involved with WordPress. \u00a0He started a daily WordPress blog at chrislema.com. \u00a0Simultaneously, he assisted startups with their WordPress websites, and began gaining visibility within the WordPress community. \u00a0He eventually became an organizer of the San Diego WordCamp.\\n\\nNow, in addition to being the CTO of CrowdFavorite, Chris also sells digital coaching services on product development, consults with companies on how to leverage WordPress, blogs daily about technology, and is available as a consultant and speaker.\\n\\nThat may seem like many hats to wear. \u00a0\u00a0However, many entrepreneurs will find themselves wearing multiple hats. \u00a0What makes Chris so good at it is his ability to form a brand around himself. \u00a0Chris\u2019 blog (built using WordPress, of course!) is a showcase of\\n\\nhis personal brand. \u00a0Not only is the bog user friendly with a strong personal touch, but it clearly showcases his WordPress contributions (blogs, e-books, videos, email courses) and talents (public speaking, consulting). \u00a0His site includes a bio, professional media shots, and has multiple calls to action for those wishing to hire him.\\n\\nThose interested in building a personal brand and online presence would do well to study Chris.\\n\\nChris has a particular interest in coaching startups. \u00a0For those interested in becoming WordPress entrepreneurs, Chris offers this advice: \u00a0\u201cThe biggest mistake businesses make, that I see, is that they are hell bent on learning from their own mistakes. That takes a long time and can potentially sink you. Eleanor Roosevelt said \u2018Learn from the mistakes of others.
