Making Money with WordPress: Oh the Places you will Go!

This session is all about getting paid with WordPress — and not making money offering WordPress services or building WordPress products, but actually accepting money through your WordPress website. If you have ever thought about selling something on your website or wondered about being able to accept payments or donations, this talk is for you. We’ll cover various reasons for collecting money through your website or blog and best practices to follow. We’ll also introduce you to several WordPress plugins and third-party tools — from the simple to the complex — that enable you to collect money, accept donations, sell digital and physical products, sell subscriptions, theme boxes, and more.

Best Practices on Providing Free Support for your Plugin or Theme

If you are a WordPress plugin or theme author, you probably have mixed feelings about the WordPress Support Forums. For many, they are a necessary evil of the WordPress product developer experience. While they are limited, the advantages they offer far outweigh the disadvantages when tackled well. I’ve been providing support on the WP.org support forums for over 5 years for a wide variety of plugins. I’ll share my experiences and provide insight and tools that will make you a believer both in free support and in the value the .org support forums can provide to you and your business. Attendees will gain a deeper knowledge of all the resources the WP.org Support Forums offer. They will also learn of new tools at their disposal to offer more effective technical support for their users on the .org forums.
