Episode 11 – Collis Ta’eed

Collis Ta'eed - Our guest this week was recently named one of the Top 10 Richest Bloggers in the World! However, that can be slightly misleading because his company is far from a blog (in fact, just insinuating that he is in the same genre as Perez Hilton makes my skin crawl).  Not only is he an extremely successful on-line business mogul, but his entire blog and business is built around educating the world on-line.  In fact, the company motto is, "Helping people learn and earn online."In this episode we discuss what it takes to be an entrepreneur, how you create one of the largest web based businesses in the world, and why on-line education IS the future.Collis Ta'eed is the CEO of Envato, a company that creates websites that help people from all over the world change the way they earn and learn online. Envato is empowering people with tools and services to develop new skills and make a living. They do this in the creative space with marketplaces and education platforms and materials that help people get creative!"As long as the scale of your ambition is realistic, there is usually space for niche businesses."- Collis Ta'eedQuotes from Collis:What we learn in this episode:How do you become one of the top ten richest bloggers on the planet?What is it like to start an internet business from scratch?What are the keys to making money on-line?What are the best traits for an entrepreneur?Resources:Top 10 Riches Bloggers in the WorldTuts PlusEnvatoWikipedia - Collis/EnvatoTwitter @Collis--This episode is brought to you by:99Designs: Go to 99designs.com/SMART to get a $99 Power Pack of services for FREE today!Squarespace: Squarespace, the all-­in-­one platform that makes it fast and easy to create your own professional website, portfolio, and online store. For a free trial and 10% off your first purchase, go to squarespace.com/smartpeople and use promo code expert.        Learn more about your ad choices.

In Episode 9 of the WP Elevation podcast I spoke with Collis Ta’eed, CEO of Envato, home of ThemeForest, CodeCanyon, GraphicRiver and more recently, Microlancer. I was eager to hear how Collis and his wife have built such a behemoth of a company and I wanted to ask him how he responds to the criticism that his marketplace based business has devalued web design and web development. His answers are well worth listening out for. I interviewed Collis just after I had returned from Pressnomics and we had  a great chat off camera about the WordPress business space in general and where it’s headed. Collis is one of the true gentlemen of the WordPress business world and it was an absolute delight to spend some time chatting with him. Envato has grown so rapidly it makes the mind boggle. You can reach out and thank Collis on email or Twitter. Collis suggested I interview the guys behind the smash hit theme Avada (around $150K in sales per month!!!). So ThemeFusion boys, I’m coming to get you. Hint: to enter the competition, leave a comment below telling us the #1 tweak to a WordPress website that you’d like to palm off to Microlancer.The post Episode #9 – Collis Ta’eed appeared first on WP Elevation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
