The Main Topic of The Show is: "How To Move From Freelancer Agency Owner Successfully!" More About Vito We Discuss How To Move From Freelancer To Agency Owner Successfully! Today is a very special day, well for me at least – on one hand it’s exciting to celebrate the launch of a new company, on the other hand, it feels like a summary of everything I’ve done for the past 19 years. We created a full announcement for WP Feedback and how it can help you save time while serving your clients in a new, visual and exciting way, but here, I’d like to take a few minutes to tell you my story. About a kid from a small town, in a tiny country, that wanted to be a rockstar and discovered a passion for design, business and WordPress. Music, business and websites I built my first website 19 years ago on GeoCities when I was 14 years old, it was scrappy and extremely bright coloured. I made it for my skateboarding crew with my friends from school. I remember how exciting it was to simply go online. Back then, when ever we connected to the internet it would take over the land line for the entire family, so I was only allowed to connect for just 1 hour per day. So I spent the days fiddling with Front Page, just waiting for my 1 hour to upload the code and share the updates with my MIRC friends (kinda like a Stone Age version of Facebook). That’s about the time I also picked up a guitar for the first time. I borrowed a cheap electric guitar from a friend to learn on my own and impress a girl I liked. But that first day was so inspiring I ended up sleeping with the guitar next to me in bed. It was love at first chord. https://wpfeedback.co/business-wordpress-rocknroll-the-story-of-vito-peleg/ This week's show secondary sponsor is WPfeedback.co If you use this special coupon code WPTonicROCKS you will get 25% all plans available https://wpfeedback.co/

About Brian Gardner Brian journey as a creative entrepreneur started in 2006 when he was working for an architectural firm as a project manager. He had a good job, but it wasn’t a great job. There was no path within that company which would have made him happy, so he took matters into his own hands and quit. He taught himself how to use WordPress and was the first person who started selling premium themes. He guess you can say that he helped revolutionize the market. In his first month, he made $10,000, which grew to $20,000, $40,000, and $80,000 the following months. The rest, as they say, is history. The Show Main Discussion Topics #1 - Any Insights/advice that Brain would like to share with the audience who are looking to develop a business in the WordPress ego-system 2020? #2 - Does the classic WordPress themes have a future? #3 - Does Brain have any personal insights connected to successfully selling a WordPress business?
