How do you make money off of something that is free? That is just one of the questions I hope to answer with the help of four leaders that have been successful doing just that with WordPress. Each panelist brings something to the table:
Carl Hancock will represent the perspective of commercial plugins. He is one of the team members behind GravityForms, a commercial plugin that takes form generation to a new level.
Brian Gardner, owner of StudioPress.com, will give us insight into managing a successful business that sells themes.
Joshua Strebel operates Page.ly, a service that aims to provide the ease of WordPress.com with the freedom provided the WordPress.org software. It’s a unique combination that appears to be paying off.
Jane Wells is employed by Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com, and will provide a unique perspective on the relationship between commercialized WordPress.com and the free and open WordPress.org project.
Although I have a few questions of my own for the panelists, this session is aimed at being a learning experience for all in attendance. Audience participation will play a large role in the success of this panel so be ready to ask questions to our “been there, done that” panelists!
Nice little PRWeb piece on this, kudos to Joshua Strebel.
