It’s not often you get recognized for what you do on the internet, so when you finally do, you’re allowed to brag about it right? Of course you are!

Freelance Folder is a very popular blog about freelancing, which I’ve followed for a long time, even before going freelance. They have now written an article on 12 awesome businesses started by freelancers, where WooThemes (me, Mark and Adii) are mentioned. Many on this list are people I’ve always looked up to in the freelance world, and it still feels a bit weird knowing that we’ve managed to propell WooThemes to online startup stardom.

Now that we have built such a great platform as WooThemes for ourselves, I think that it will be easier for me or us to go into other markets or businesses in 2009. Not many freelancers get the oportunity to theoreically do whatever they want, so I feel like I have to use my time wisely to further build my freelance career to something that will last well into my thirties (and beyond).
