On Growing Revenue From $120K/Year To $500K/Year [Update]

This is a follow up story for Web Designer Academy. If you're interested in reading how they got started, published over 5 years ago, check it out here.

Hello again! Remind us who you are and what business you started.

My name is Shannon Mattern and I’m the founder and CEO of the Web Designer Academy where we teach web designers how to package, price, position, market, and sell premium web design projects.

We help web designers that have been undercharging and overdelivering creates profitable, sustainable, and most importantly scalable web design businesses.

I started my business back in 2015 doing freelance web design on the side of my day job, and teaching solopreneurs how to DIY their websites with my Free 5 Day Website Challenge.

I’ve always coached and mentored other web designers, but it’s only been in the past year that we went all-in on our Web Designer Academy program as our flagship product and we’ve gone from consistent $10K months back in February 2020 to an average of $42K per month in February of 2022 - and we’re growing faster than ever!

I share my journey from $0 side-hustler to CEO of a profitable, debt-free $500,000 company on my podcast, Pep Talks for Side Hustlers.
