Distribution channels
Free listings on WordPress.org with premium upsells, or sell directly. Follow plugin guidelines strictly.
WooCommerce extensions remain a strong B2B niche if you maintain compatibility.
The real job is support
Document everything. Automate common answers. Price accordingly.
Security updates are non-negotiable. Abandoned plugins destroy trust.
Reality check
Treat “WordPress plugins and themes as products” as a skill path, not a lottery ticket. Platforms change rules, saturate niches, and ban shortcuts. The people who keep earning are the ones who re-read official docs, track numbers, and ship when motivation dips.
If a course or influencer contradicts the platform’s own help center, trust the platform. Screenshots of Lamborghinis are marketing — payout dashboards and tax forms are reality.
Do this in the next seven days
Block three focused sessions on your calendar. Session one: create or clean the account on the primary tool listed for this guide (WordPress.org). Session two: publish the smallest possible asset (video, listing, proposal, or page). Session three: measure one metric and write what you will change next week.
Save official links from this guide in a bookmark folder named after the path. When you are stuck, open those — not a new random tutorial that resets your plan.
