The method for wordpress developers

This is how you get hired without spraying applications into job-board queues.

1

Apply fast with Easy Apply

Apply to more jobs in less time: LinkedIn Easy Apply, a paste-ready answers template, and niche titles only, never broad.

2

Build your personal brand

Post, comment, and connect so hiring managers recognize you before you apply. This is how jobs that never get posted get filled.

3

Run both: 15 minutes a day

Applications feed you this month. Your brand feeds you every month after. The pack shows how to run both in one daily routine.

WordPress developers compete against page-builder freelancers and $200 templates. The ones who win sell performance, security, and conversions, fast, hack-proof sites that generate leads instead of just existing.

The template that gets replies

The reason most cold DMs for wordpress developers get ignored is they're generic and ask for something before giving anything. This one leads with value.

📩 LinkedIn note to a business owner
Hi {name}, {company}’s site is on WordPress, quick flag: it’s running Xs load time and a few risky plugins, which usually means lost leads and a security risk. I build fast, secure WP sites. Want a free 60-second loom with 3 quick wins?
Tip: personalize the {name} and {company} fields, and always lead with something specific they posted.

How to use it

Warm before you ask

Engage with their content for a few days so your name is familiar.

Be specific

Reference a real post or a real problem you noticed, never a template-feeling opener.

Give first

Offer one free idea, audit, or sample. Remove all risk from replying.

Make the ask tiny

Ask for a 15-minute call or a look, never for a job or contract up front.

Position yourself with a headline that backs it up

A great DM lands better when your profile sells the outcome. A few headline angles:

Why most wordpress developers stay stuck

These are the traps that keep you invisible, and exactly what the pack fixes.

  • Clients think "WordPress is free" and haggle on price.
  • Competing with page-builders and cheap template installers.
  • Plugin bloat makes sites slow and insecure.
  • Hard to prove your work drove leads or sales.
  • Maintenance retainers are hard to land against cheap hosts.

Frequently asked questions

How do I charge more than cheap WP freelancers?
Sell performance, security, and leads, not "I build WordPress sites." "Green Core Web Vitals, zero breaches, +30% leads" is retainer-worthy. Template installers compete on price; you compete on results.
How do I find WordPress clients?
Target businesses with slow or bloated WP sites. Warm owners on LinkedIn and offer a free speed/security loom. The loom surfaces the pain; the discovery call closes the rebuild or retainer.
How do I land maintenance retainers?
Frame maintenance as protection and performance, not "updates." "I keep your site fast, secure, and ranking" justifies a monthly retainer that "plugin updates for $50" never will.
