Exploring the Essential Features of “Julia Taylor – WP Rockstar“
INTRODUCING…
The Ultimate Training for Website Building (a la WordPress) + Community + Business Badassery for The Next Generation of Geeks (even if you suck at math and tech, or think you’re too old)
PSA: THIS IS NOT A DIY ONLINE COURSE

(Pssst…a.k.a. Make back your tuition investment. Many times over.)
“It’s no surprise that freelancing is on the rise. The data shows that independent professionals are benefiting from income diversification, schedule flexibility and increased productivity.”
HAYDEN BROWN
The president and CEO of Upwork (excerpt from Upwork Study in 2021)RAISE YOUR HAND IF…
RAISE YOUR HAND IF…
YOU CAN CHECK OFF AT LEAST 5 OF THESE 8 BOXES
- You want a flexible lifestyle: You’re ready to say goodbye to working for “the man”, hang up your shingle, and work from anywhere in the world (or from the comfort of your sofa).
- You’re a GenX-er, a Millennial, or a Digital Native badassor: Who’s ready to prove naysayers wrong, unleash her Inner Geek, and realize her childhood dream of running her own show (especially if you were told you weren’t good at math).
- You are a problem solver: Who thrives on challenges, has an affinity for troubleshooting, and an eye for detail.
- You’re fairly new to WordPress, website coding and/or design: And you want the speed pass to gain deadly skills as a WordPress ninja/expert/unicorn so that you can start signing higher-quality clients.
- You want to get your ROI – Sooner: So you can learn a skill, get paid. Many times over. Within months – not years.
- You want access to qualified client leads: Who value website designers and won’t scoff if you don’t quote $10/hour for a customized WordPress site (if you’re charging this rate, please stop!)
- You’re a virtual assistant or a freelance service provider: Who’s ready to uplevel her skillset, charge more, and get it! Let’s face it. You did not start a side hustle to earn pennies on the cheap or work for $10/hour clients forever. Building WordPress websites is a lucrative skill that will immediately position you as the indispensable, go-to expert, and a “partner” in your client’s projects as opposed to an assistant running cheap errands.
Because here’s the thing…
- You don’t need to be a certain age or belong to a specific generation to pull this off – most technical careers/startups give this perception that “younger” folks or peeps from a certain generation…(hint hint Millennials) have an advantage over others. Not true!
- You don’t need a degree in tech, expensive software, math skills, or to attend an expensive coding boot camp to make this work.
- You don’t have to learn EVERYTHING about WordPress before you can troubleshoot your clients websites. The best WordPress Experts, Ninjas, and Unicorns learn one technique, double their implementation efforts, and get handsomely paid. Yup, it’s possible!
- You don’t have to suffer in isolation, trying to figure things out on your own, second-guessing yourself, and not knowing how to deal with a “code red” situation (read: breaking the client’s website and screaming “F$$$*k, my career’s over!”)
- You don’t need to be a ‘Hollywood Geek’ in grimy clothes eating Cheetos at 3 am in your basement to feel “legit” to do this.
There are 5 critical bug fixes things you need to make that happen…
(You get all Five in WP Rockstar® – more about that in a moment)
01 Robust Training
CODING & WEBSITE SKILLS
I’m going to get this out of the way. The WP Rockstar® program is NOT for the faint of heart. Learning how to code is like learning a foreign language. It’s not rainbows and unicorns all the way. There will be challenges and some hard(ish) concepts to wrap your mind around.
But, having said that, here’s what you shouldn’t be doing if you want to jumpstart your website business:
- Writing lines and lines of code.
- Learning C++, SQL, or any programming language that will have you sprout chin hairs, gray hairs, and hairs in the nether regions!
- Watching YouTube videos (minus the application and curriculum) and expecting to build error-free websites from scratch.
03 Biz Building Skills
MARKETING & FINDING CLIENTS
The difference between a struggling freelancer and a fully booked business owner is an arsenal of business skills.
Talent can get you started but if you have *NO IDEA* how to find and pitch big fish clients, onboard and offboard them, manage your time, stay on top of your taxes, etc. you’ll hit a breaking point.
The fully booked business owner has proven client management systems, knows what to look for when hiring her next superstar VA, can channel Beyonce-Esque confidence on her sales calls…and get the “high stakes gig”.
Yup, talent can take you so far. But having badass business skills sets you apart from a freelancer working in her PJs and SpongeBob slippers.
05 Access To Me
& My Team
PHONE A FRIEND
“Have questions? Need clarity? Ask Me Anything!”… Said no course creator on Udemy or Codecademy EVER! And if you’re okay with that arrangement, more power to you.
But for most of us, we want to know if you (the course creator) care for your students. That you’re willing to stand by your content and “show up” to support your student community and answer their pressing questions. Consistently. Ahem….
*Time for a humble brag*
We provide all this and more… Just ask my students. 😊
You’ll Rock Code With Me
(insert air guitar solo here)…
Julia Taylor. Chief Geek. Proud founder of WP Rockstar® & The Rockstar Community
Also, a former intelligence officer, military wife (husband’s now retired), and a full time digital nomad.
I teach status-quo-crushing women (and some cool men) how to build websites and start a location independent WordPress business they love.
I’ve helped over 3,600 9-5 escapees, freedom-seekers, virtual assistants, freelance web designers, SAHMs, and military wives – basically, women of all ages and stages become WordPress Rockstars with badass website building and business skills…
And I’m a fierce believer in that…
“ANYONE CAN LEARN HOW TO CODE & BUILD WEBSITES REGARDLESS OF AGE, GENDER, EXPERIENCE, EDUCATION, AND LOCATION”
I’m a hardcore implementation specialist who’ll pick you up when you’re drowning in the choppy waters of overwhelm-slash-techy gibberish that other bro-ish, tech (unfriendly) folks left you off at…
And if you allow me to do it, here’s where my team and I plan on taking you and your business…
Introducing…
The Ultimate Training for Website Building (a la WordPress) + Community + Business Badassery for The Next Generation of Geeks (even if you suck at math and tech, or think you’re too old)
You’ve got the drive. The work ethic. And you want to make a name for yourself (i.e. quit your 9-5, call your own shots, or enjoy a week in balmy Barbados courtesy of plum website projects).
But I also know how time-strapped you are and wondering if you can REALLY do this?
So, I’ve taken out the guessing, overplanning, overthinking and replaced it with…
A CUSTOMIZED ROADMAP.
All you have to do is decide how soon you want to launch your website business…
Whether that’s 3 months or 6 months…
(based on the 3,600 student experiences in WP Rockstar, we’ve identified these two as common timelines)
And you’ll get your custom roadmap to walk you through the exact actions to take, learn, and launch your business.
Want to take longer than 6 months? Go right ahead!
Want to be a hustler and hang your shingle in two months? Be my guest.
Point being… you honor your season of life and ambition, and you control how you wanna learn.
It’s 100% up to you.
From building your first WordPress site, deciding your business name, marketing yourself so you’re not competing against candidates from Upwork or Fiverr, signing up quality clients whose fees more than cover your Netflix subscription (like 10 times the cost)… you’ll do it all.
This isn’t a one and done program that gathers dust bunnies after you hit the last module, do a kumbaya dance, and peace out.
