September 8, 2017 — Dawno, dawno temu, czyli w 2015 roku na WordUpie w Lublinie Szymon Skulimowski zadał Maćkowi pytanie, czy na wtyczkach do WooCommerce da się zarobić. Wtedy Maciej, zgodnie z prawdą odpowiedział, że WP Desk to na razie tylko hobby.

Od tamtej pory zmieniło się właściwie wszystko. W trakcie prelekcji Maciek opowie o tym jak zbudował stabilną firmę opartą w 100% na WordPressie, której 100% przychodów pochodzi ze sprzedaży wtyczek. Ale nie będzie to autopromocja. Wręcz przeciwnie. Dowiemy się, jak stworzyć biznes od zera bez budżetu marketingowego, jak zbudować zespół i zacząć zarabiać. Maciek opowie o tym, co się w WP Desku sprawdziło i gdzie popełniono największe błędy. Wisienką na torcie będzie opowieść o wyjściu poza granice Polski, z którym związane były ogromne nadzieje, a na razie okazało się to największym wyzwaniem.
