How do I become a WooCommerce Expert?
So, the question you asked is basically “How do I become an advanced WooCommerce Support?”.
That’s great and I’m excited for you, but let’s slow down for a moment.
First of all you’re not alone – this is without doubt one of the most frequently asked questions on social media, online forums and emails.
Besides, the very first question you should be asking yourself is another one.
Why Advanced WooCommerce?
Well, if you get to know the answer to this question, you will get that extra motivation you’re looking for. I’ll help you understand why.
I know – you want to become someone who is 110% confident with the plugin settings (very often overlooked), a person who knows CSS and PHP customization, someone who knows what “is possible and what is not” (or even better, how many hours it would take to get a “complex” WooCommerce task done).
“If you become a WooCommerce expert you can niche down, specialize and increase your rates”
A person who also knows the ins and outs of WooCommerce Developer, SEO, project management, integration, scaling, troubleshooting.
A person who doesn’t just copy and paste WooCommerce PHP snippets from StackOverflow or Business Bloomer.
I know you want to become a WooCommerce expert so you can “niche down”, specialize, increase your rates, improve your productivity and grow profitability. Which means: you can deliver any WooCommerce job in the shortest possible time and charge 10 times your current rate.
When I started my career as WooCommerce developer I had the “freelancer” dilemma – in order to gain experience and get as many jobs as possible I had to sell my WooCommerce services at a ridiculously low hourly rate ($10).
Ah, Fiverr… I kinda miss it.
To make a living, I should have had to work 8 billable hours a day for 365 days to make a whopping $10*8*365 = $29,200 with no life (8 billable hours means you also need to add approximately 6 non-billable hours per day), no holidays, no weekends, nothing.
Yes, we all make mistakes. So, let’s see if I can help you avoid the same.
Let’s see if I can show you what you need in order to become one of the few “Advanced” out there. No more 365 days/year, no more 16 hours daily shifts… you can make the same amount ($29,200) by working less than 292 billable hours/year.
