The WP Minute+

I recently caught up with Eric Karkovac to look back at his most influential WP Minute articles from 2024. 

As our resident voice for WordPress freelancers, Eric brings a unique perspective - he doesn't just write about WordPress, he actively builds client sites and runs his own business. This combination of hands-on experience shapes everything he writes.

Our conversation explored the real challenges facing WordPress professionals right now. From managing endless plugin subscriptions to navigating the Automatic vs. WP Engine situation, Eric's articles tackle the issues that matter to freelancers and small agencies. What I appreciate most about Eric's writing is his practical approach - he's focused on helping WordPress professionals find workable solutions to everyday challenges.

Looking ahead to 2025, we talked about what matters most for WordPress professionals: building strong client relationships, being selective about new projects, and keeping the human element front and center in our technical work. For anyone running a WordPress business, this episode offers practical strategies from someone who understands the day-to-day reality of our work.
