October 15, 2017 — Kun je als WordPress specialist beginnen met een WordPress plugin en daar binnen een jaar een fijne extra inkomstenbron aan overhouden? Jazeker, en tijdens deze presentie laat ik je ALLE ins en outs zien. We bespreken zowel het ontwikkelen van een compleet nieuwe plugin alsook het overnemen van een plugin op de WordPress repository (die niet meer ontwikkeld wordt door de vorige eigenaar).

Van idee en vooronderzoek tot realisatie. We kijken naar het toevoegen van de plugin aan de WordPress Plugin repository en wat daar de eisen
voor zijn. Marketing komt aan bod, uitbesteden van ontwikkeling, testen van nieuwe ideeen en meer. En dit op basis van mijn eigen ervaring, die echt geresulteerd heeft in een leuk extra zakcentje.
