Well at $3k a month (which it will hit most definitely) most standard valuations would put the price at around $60k or so. Now add on top the fact that I'm not actively looking to sell it, you'd have to make a quite substantial of

I have a wordpress plugins business that earns maybe a couple hundred a month without touching it at all. I know it's not a lot but I sold a similar business a few years back that regularly made $1200-$1500 a month and the products wer

$225k?? For 5 years experience? Not a chance. You might get somewhere around $100k though which is still a very nice salary in most places. Up to $150k in major hubs.

Herzner do look good, thanks for the suggestion. Any thoughts on distributing the renders across multiple smaller servers compared to one large one?

Delighted to see the unexpected Diego Forlan story here! Such a great talent and the thing was, EVERYONE wanted him to do well at United. I don't believe it was a case of management or team mates not liking him or not working well toge

Hey no worries, I didn't take it as judgemental. There are a wide range of skillsets in WP dev and I agree that traditionally it's been seen as a bit more low quality. However that is definitely changing as more people get into

It's misleading from the Codecanyon side unfortunately. You do get all updates forever on items bought through Codecanyon regardless of if your support has run out. The support part refers to answering questions and the like and it&#

Setting up payment and delivery is very simple and I've done it a bunch of times. I wouldn't underestimate the "average WP dev" either, they are getting a lot better than perhaps people on here may give them credit for.

It's a good point... I've gone back and forth on this a lot and I guess it just comes down to the sheer number of customers I can get via Codecanyon compared to selling directly. Believe me I've tried on many occassions over

Hey thanks for pointing that out. That other site is a side project for a friend and I used letsencrypt certbot to auto-configure it. Assumed it was fine but obviously not! Will fix.

I've used Wave before, they have a payments solution and I think they charge around 5% fees per payment taken on your behalf. At bulk you can usually get fees down to the 1% mark so they'll make their ~4% per invoice paid via thei

A lot of people run their entire business directly from their WordPress website. Having a plugin that allows quotes, invoicing and payments in the same place is quite convenient for them. I built this because people were asking me for it be

Thanks for taking the time to give feedback like this. 1-3 definitely agree and I've just put them on the backlog. I've already got 4 on there and will likely add it in the next update.

I'd listen to offers for my WordPress plugins business QuipCode ( http://quipcode.com ). Solid software, OK sales just never marketed it and not sure the best way to do so. I also have http://buyindiegames.com ri

Just finished reading this, thanks it's a great resource especially all the breakdowns comparing the salary lost over 4 years vs stock value after vesting.

Thanks for that, looks really useful!

Well, I know it's just a title but generally CTO is a board level position and as such you're expected to be in charge of the technical side of the company including some strategic elements as well. At least, that's how I&

I've done this by reaching out to friends and old work colleagues to see what they're up to and offering to help. Because it's people you know it is much easier to make arrangements you will both be happy with. After 15 yea

I sold my software business with FE International earlier this year and hit about 3x yearly earnings for a 1.5 year old company. Comparing it against the rest of the market, particularly Flippa and Empire Flippers I felt that it was a good

Take a look on Craigslist but the prices vary quite a bit around here. We're in Overland Park, where Google Fiber isn't here for another year or two and a 1400sqft 2 bed with a garage will set you back between $1000-$1500 a month
