Chief Learning Officer, Freelance University
In 2008, my wife Kelly and I co-founded Freelance University with the purpose of becoming the #1 go-to training center for Freelancers and VAs from around the globe! As of this year, we have successfully trained over 25,000 Virtual Assistants and Freelancers in more than 75 countries. Kelly and I have had the great privilege of building our Online University while raising our 5 daughters who are the greatest blessings of our lives. I look forward to meeting you and seeing you either in this program or at our University very soon. I leave you with my favorite quote from marketing guru, Seth Godin: "The only worse thing than starting something and failing... is not starting something."

I found this updated course to be a lot better in terms of content and presentation. The only thing I would have liked to see would have been some recommendations on plugins, otherwise a great course.

Read MoreWordPress typically intimidates me, even though I can do the necessary work on the back end to publish blog posts. I decided I'd like to get enough knowledge to understand when my web designer or others who have strong skills talk to me about WordPress. The course was easy to understand and the lessons were in small modules. So I didn't feel overwhelmed watching the sessions. I even made a couple of additions by adding social media links to my site. I still will leave the other tasks to the WordPress pros, but at least I now have a clue. Thank you!

I am having some results but not achieving the desired end result yet in the Sandbox (likely operator error lol) so I'll keep working on it, but am enjoying the journey. Thanks for the guidance!

Read MoreThis course was exceptional. Clear concise instruction on what, why and how the various parts of wordpress works in order to create websites and blogs. The beauty of this course is how well the dashboard of wordpress is divided into simple ye thorough video lectures of the course. This will come in handy in cases where I may forget what a particular tool does, I can always come back and refresh/relearn how to use it. Looking forward to the next levels of this great CMS and freelance universities awesome instruction.
