Beyond Websites

Most people that learn #WordPress run to start their own web design businesses. However, this could be unwise & limiting. Why?

1. WordPress is no longer basic; It’s a platform builder, data engine, and community hub for innovation.

“What if WordPress wasn’t just for websites — but for world-changing innovations?”

WordPress may not be the business, but it can power your business

In 2019, I decided to deploy WordPress and developed a disruptive and innovative concept, SWAPafrica! And I won the award – Money & Fame!

Beyond Websites….

3. The economy seems to reward the creators, more than the contractors, owners more than service providers – Rethink Ownership for future-proof value, growth, & legacy.

2. The business of traditional website designing is diminishing & no longer lucrative. AI and other no-code tools are empowering most people to do it themselves.

Designers who only serve others are renting their skills; innovators who build for themselves are owning value.

Stop renting your skills, start owning your impact

Winning Funding

Do the following:

Ensure your business is innovative & disruptive or has big & documented impact. The first option is easier, for youth or start-ups.

Look for the relevant funding and fellowship opportunities & apply (at least 2 opportunities per month, or 1 per week). See opportunities here, here, and here.

Pitch your business like it’s the best to ever happen to this world.

There is money out here, but we need a thing to attract it!

SUMMARY OF THE MESSAGE:

Using #WordPress to design people's websites is not a bad idea. However, it is just a drop of water in an ocean; WordPress can instead be used to build OWN INNOVATION.

Remind yourself: WordPress does not have to be the business; It can empower your business.
