“Clients don't want WordPress, they want a website.”

In this week's First $1,000 segment, we hear from Tabitha, the self-described "WordPress Girl," who builds a service helping female entrepreneurs get their first website up and running.

Her model: $400 per client for a setup package that includes an hour of consultation and up to a month of follow-up by email and phone. Because most clients don't need many callbacks after that first session, it doesn't take much time to offer that support.

The key insight: "Clients don't want WordPress, they want a website." They don't care what platform it's built on — they just want to be online. That realization led Tabitha to rethink her branding and move toward a broader "Website Girl" identity.

She already has a day job and a small client base, which means she's not desperate — just happy to earn between $1,000 and $3,000 extra a month doing something fun and low-stress.
