Yesterday I was a speaker at the Bulgarian edition of the largest WordPress conference – WordCamp Sofia 2013. The topic of my presentation was “How to make money from WordPress?”. I talked about the ways in which one can make money from WordPress. It was a challenge for me to prepare the topic, since I have worked in the field of commercial software all my life and I never imagined that Open Source could be profitable. But it turned out that for several years now, working with WordPress, I have had the opportunity to observe how things happen from two perspectives: a WordPress user and a developer of plugins and themes for WordPress. I shared my experience and observations about the different channels through which one can earn money.
Here is the presentation itself in PDF format.
The conference was very interesting, and the topics were in two streams: general and for developers. I chose lectures according to my interests and learned interesting things that will certainly be useful in my work.
I thank the organizers for the perfect organization and I hope that soon there will be new publications that will promote this convenient website management system.
Here are some photos from the conference
