Syed Balkhi is one of the hardest working, smartest, and most
successful entrepreneurs I have had the pleasure of speaking
to.
He was born in Pakistan and immigrated to the United States at
the age of 12. Without a social life due to his lack of English
skills, he turned to the Internet and entrepreneurship.
Today, at 25 years old, Syed Balkhi is an award-winning
entrepreneur and has been recognized as one of the top 100
entrepreneurs under the age of 30. He is the owner of several
7-figure online businesses, and over 400 million people visit his
websites annually.
Syed Balkhi is the founder of WPBeginner, the world’s largest free
WordPress resource site, and the co-founder of List25,
OptinMonster, SoliloquyWP, ThemeLab, Envira Gallery, and
WPForms.
Now, let’s hack…
