Want to know the 18 best WooCommerce extensions of 2018?

It’s a brand new year and if you’re like a lot of businesses who use WooCommerce, you’re focusing on what you need to make 2018 better than 2017. 

Extensions are an essential part of building a business on top of WooCommerce. And one of the things that can absolutely kill your business is to choose the wrong one.

In fact, there’s a common flaw in the thinking of most newbies, just starting out. They focus on what WooCommerce extension they can get for FREE, instead of focusing on which extension will produce a return on investment (ROI).

Avoid this Mistake When Choosing Your WooCommerce Extensions in 2018

The problem with “free” extensions is they always come at a price. It will cost you your time when you run into a conflict and find there’s no support. Or they’ll cost you actual revenue when stop working because WooCommerce was updated or there’s a conflict with another plugin. 

Here’s our advice. If you’re going to use a free extension, make sure it’s one that can’t do major damage to your business. You do not want to be a penny wise and a pound foolish 

Whenever I invest in my business, I always want to know the ROI. For example, if I pay $97 for a WooCommerce extension, it needs to pay for itself in the first 30-45 days. 

This is the kind of mindset you want to foster inside your business.
