If you have a TpT shop or have considered starting one, you’ve probably heard talk about some of the issues that have arisen on the TpT platform regarding search issues, security concerns, and the acquisition of TpT by the IXL platform.
And each of those can be super-terrifying, which is why many teachers are running scared. They are fearful…
- their income is going to tank, and
- all of their work will be for nothing
Therefore, many have decided to add an e-commerce shop to their own websites in order to sell their resources.
And if you've been listening to any of these conversations, one e-commerce solution is garnering a lot of attention in the teacher entrepreneur space…and that is WooCommerce.
I personally have a WooCommerce shop, but that is getting ready to change.
Why, you might ask?
Well, I reached out to my "go to" tech guy, Grayson Bell founder and CEO of iMark Interactive, with a couple of questions about setting up a WooCommerce shop for a client...
And he dropped a bomb on me when he said, "To be honest, Woo is such a terrible e-com system. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone anymore."
To say I was shocked would be a gross understatement.
After recovering from that startling revelation, I knew I had to ask if he would be willing to come on the podcast and share his insight, reasoning, and suggestions for teacher entrepreneurs.
And trust me when I tell you that if the tech side of starting a blog or website scares you, then this is the guy you want in your corner.
So he is here today to share all of his insight regarding Woo Commerce and which e-commerce solution is going to be the best for teacher entrepreneurs.
