 What's up developers and problem solvers why checking anyone to bring you guys another video today and today? We're gonna talk about why you should never become a word press developer. And yes, I mean Never let me explain first of all guys in the early Early on when web development was pretty young and there wasn't any of these Web page designers and all this gooey stuff that allowed people to actually go in and actually drag and drop Actually elements on a page where you can visually see it. That's relatively new guys That used to be done painstakingly manual by manual CSS Tables images and just meticulous just dropping stuff on there either be cold It was not a easy experience It was actually a painful experience and Anybody who had the balls to do it or the patients got paid a lot of money This is where web developers came in and made a killing early on and they was paid just like Standard back-end developer today because it was so technical and time-consuming to get a website to look professional That most people didn't want to deal with it. So They just paid them to do it and life was good well as technology start to advance and people start to want to use the web more and more and These software companies got wind of this and start to create software these drag and drops the wicks the word press to Shopify the standard page builders so that the average person didn't need to hire a dedicated developer just for the visual of a website and That's where you start to bring in platforms like wordpress and all these other sites that allows you to do content management blogging all this now this start to hit the same so Early on people Wordpress was a foreign concept people didn't understand it. I'm gonna be honest I wasn't real big on it myself because I was just one of those pure developers who's on a Container right there code and create their website with a code because I'm a coder That's what I do I'm not gonna use a platform to do that when I know how to build it myself At least that's my set I had at the beginning but obviously that change all my website or wordpress websites And I stand by that product but back to the original story Everybody wanted to get wordpress site and these developers came along first of all to help set up the site They help add plug-ins if there wasn't any plug-ins They can make a killing on adding plug-ins and functionality that they didn't currently have With social media platforms and all that stuff and they made a killing throughout the two thousands with the wordpress Platform when it came in new and it really start to take shape or take over the website I think it's like 25 percent of all websites or wordpress website So there's billions of at least millions of websites that are out there and 25 percent of them in wordpress That's a lot of websites so it was a lot of money to be made guys but as I said before technology keep advancing to the point where the lower-end task are being automated or Drag-and-drop or even push of a button somebody could actually up I was up low in the wordpress site the other day for a client and Go daddy and I think blue hosts can do that too. It's a click of a button. You put in a website name you say if it's a Got a secure website you already all that stuff and you press save any creased website I was like, oh crap. This is easy and I was thinking about it's like if I was a web developer and this is what I did to make money I would be afraid especially for the wordpress developers and They always had the argument that hey, I can still build custom templates or a plug-in stuff, which is good but Even that now, you know, it used to be a pain in the butt to actually Implement a plug-in now they can just go shop it like that store a fine one and say yes And all apps are being commoditized So you really can't make a killing off of that unless you have a really specific niche Which again the higher-end web developers are making bank the high-end web developers or wordpress developers are making bank I'm talking about the low-end average ones who don't have the skill set of the higher-end rock star Wordpress developers those are the ones who's who who's making the bank but the other ones on the bottom no because of these tools that I'm explaining to you guys but Yes, I was going through and then anything you want as far as just a plug-in or template is already pre-built for you So it's not a lot of code. You have to write it's actually Almost allow building now to have a one-off Where prep wordpress developer create a plug-in and put it on your site and then life is good Well, what happens, you know three years from now when you upgrade to a new version of wordpress and it breaks That developer long gone or was an intern or something That's why I always recommend people to go with a reputable software development company or platform or plug-in That's gonna be around for a while. So that's another reason why you never become a low-end Wordpress developer so I've been a negative Nancy Let's turn this video around guys because I've been really hammering you guys on never become a wordpress developer Probably asking now. Okay, right. What should I do if I don't become a wordpress developer? The key thing is Don't market yourself. It's just a wordpress developer only word market yourself as a Problem-solver that just happen to use wordpress as a platform that you fix and That's what's gonna really put you in a position To make the most money to always have a job a lot of the higher-end web developers are WordPress developers are just basically full stack developers. They do all this technical stuff They limit themselves for the low pay of just being a low-end WordPress developer when they have all these skills to go into any company and be a top tier full stack developer That's how you should market yourself guys You shouldn't market yourself as something that make less money Market yourself of somebody who have higher skills who's more rare that can solve more problem and this is how you do it So let's take a step back guys. So now, you know, okay, we're not gonna be a wordpress developer We're gonna really start to focus on the problem Specifically and we're just not gonna do just the basic drag and drop stuff We're gonna focus on problem solving What problems should I solve first ride? Tell me how to do it. Well guys again wordpress is a content management system it use most people use it for websites now that's why I use it for and People want to get data from their websites. They want to see who come who actually came to the website Statistics integration with social media.
