Episode 39: Accidental Entrepreneur Jeff Chandler of WPTavern.com




Matt Report show

Summary: Yes, I jumped Jeff of WPTavern ahead of the line! The orignal WordPress media man has been all in the news lately. One fascinating thing about Jeff is, he never fancied himself an entrepreneur. Like many of us, he stumbled upon WordPress and started using it on his own. He fell in love with writing about tech and then that passion transitioned over to WordPress. Continue on to the show to learn more about his adventure from the ground level to now working for Matt Mullenweg! Interview with Jeff Chandler of WPTavern.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S73nMxUD1rI Watch on YouTube Is there money in WordPress news? Are you sick of hearing it yet? On my other show, Week in WordPress, I invited Syed Balkhi of WPBeginner.com and Adam Warner of Foo Plugins to dive into this topic a bit more. #DramaPress perhaps -- but listen to what Jeff has to say. It's not easy and starting 5+ years ago is certainly no easy feat. I really enjoyed learning about Jeff's journey and I hope you do too. See, he didn't set out with an end game in mind. Times got tough -- real tough -- but his perseverance pulled through in the end. What do you think of WordPress media? Here to stay, just getting geting started or ready to fizzle out? Discuss!
