If you’ve ever wondered how to make money with WordPress, you’ve just come to the right place. As you know, WordPress is the most widely used Content Management System with more than 30,000 plugins and more than 600 million downloads for the latest version of this CMS. It is clear that it is very widespread and has a unique reputation worldwide.
Let’s see how we can use WordPress to earn a decent income in the long run.
1. Create your own WordPress plugins.
If you know HTML, PHP, and CSS, you can create your own custom WordPress plugins.
You can imagine that the price of one plugin can go up to $60 and even more. If you’re lucky enough to have your plugin go viral and sell it just to 1k WordPress users, you’d end up banking $60k. You better get up and be ready.
2. Designing and developing WordPress CMS.
If you are familiar with programming languages such as C++, C#, PHP, HTML, CSS, JQUERY, and AJAX, you can become a WordPress developer and earn a substantial financial income with ease.
Working on WordPress development is highly required due to the potential of WordPress and its rapid growth around the world. You can even start working in the freelance services market like Fiverr or Freelancer or even launch your own website to promote and sell your WordPress service.
3. WordPress hosting management.
WordPress is ultimately just a free publishing software that contains scripts containing files of the WordPress program. Therefore, those files need a host for this CMS to work and function properly.
WordPress Content Management System works on the minimum requirements, and you can take advantage of hosting management or production of hosts for WordPress blogs. These sites will use no more than 1 gigabyte per month depending on the type of website and monthly traffic.
4. Maintenance and technical support.
This method depends on the second one, where you need to be familiar with the programming languages and be an expert in the networks and server systems to solve the customer’s technical problems and difficulties.
You must have high expertise in networking and management of both shared and private servers as WordPress runs entirely on those hosts.
Inevitably, customers often face multiple issues, and your role as an expert would help solve those issues.
With these skills and experience, you would certainly not only be able to work in a good company, but also create your own business, which would bring you a significant passive income.
5. Setting Up a Hosted Program as a Service (Pro Method)
It is known to most bloggers and marketers that using WordPress is mainly for content management and blogging, and here’s what it does. However, have you ever thought of changing the code to make WordPress a program or script capable of hosting other WordPress blogs?
Yes, it is possible to do that, but probably without modifying the WordPress code and creating a script, but rather by using WordPress MultiSite WPMS.
The latter allows you to create a network of websites on a single WordPress installation.
Ultimately, these are the 5 ways that would help you make a truly satisfying income online.
