I'd say go for it. One major problem I had in the past was not taking into account the effects of growth over time.
The Wordpress marketplace is growing. Even if you've only got x amount of sales immediately, you can iterate, build stuff to sell back to your customers you've already acquired, and generally grow with compound interest.
No matter what you build, entropy will be built into your product. You can't ever sit on something and expect growth without continual effort. That's another major illusion I've struggled to deal with.
Takeaway: It takes the smallest snowball to begin rolling along and building momentum.
- mikepurvis 16y agoI know that in the general case, passive income is a pipe dream, but it's just particularly frustrating with Wordpress how you have to be always chasing the API and fixing breakages every point-version. My plugin was particularly bad, I supposed, since I was manipulating the admin interface with JavaScript, so every time they tweaked pretty much anything, it would fall apart.
