Tijana adds: “Another reason WordPress is great for freelancers is the strong community that exists around the content management system (CMS).” WordCamp conferences and meetups are a way to stay up-to-date with information and the opportunity to ask questions to experts in person.
Last year, these events were mostly held online. The organizers put a lot of effort into making them as close to the experience as possible in person. The biggest advantage of the online format is that we can attend events from all over the world, even if it is often difficult in these difficult times to find enough time to deeply immerse ourselves in this new experience. Since Tijana’s first meetup, she has not only attended many WordPress community events, but also become a speaker.
Plan ahead
For Tijana, success came special lead with proper planning and following her plan to “acquire or improve relevant skills that will allow you to stand out in the freelance market.” She firmly believes that learning and professional development opens up more business opportunities.
If you’re considering a freelance career, she advises improving your skills or developing new ones around your hobbies, as “there’s nothing better than doing something you love.” In cases where you can’t use your previous experience and knowledge, she suggests choosing “a job with a shorter learning curve and building on that.”
Tijana started out as a copywriter and later became an SEO expert. She points out that there are many alternative paths, so those who want to become a developer can start by building websites.
She also reminds: “It’s a good idea to analyze the market before you start the learning process.” Tijana also recommends checking the latest trends and thinking about the future of the skills you plan to develop.
