Some of us love what we do and some of us do not.
Tom McFarlin joined me to talk about building his WordPress freelance career. He’s a partner at 8bit and co-creator of The Standard Theme. He works with a wide range of clients and considers himself successful in doing so.
It’s not because of the money he makes – but that he loves what he does.
I was delighted to have Tom on and share his experiences with us. Let’s sit back and watch this amazing interview!

The journey
Here’s what I love about Tom’s journey: it’s authentic.
There was no master plan or cunning strategy. It was hard work, making connections, and building a product that someone loves that brought him his success.
Tom has a lot of different identities online. From his freelancing portfolio, working with 8bit, to downloadable themes. He keeps this all organized using exceptional time management skills. He shares some of his tips with us in the video.
Building a team via networking
And we’re not talking LinkedIN.
Tom has been involved with the WordPress community since he started coding plugins. He also shares that getting involved with others and putting your work out as soon as you can is one of the best steps a young freelancer can do. It was by taking these steps, Tom was noticed from others in the community and how the guys at 8bit brought him in.
