Open Sourcing a WordPress plugin that delivers value is a good way of building an audience and then building more stuff on top and selling that works well.

Yeah, that’s what I thought as well. On the other hand most of my latest projects ended up being Open Source so it might be time trying to sell something

I think that would really work out especially in privacy friendly subreddits /hackernews

Selling it on gumroad or ko-fi would be pretty straightforward. You could add a little promo video (maybe with loom) to show how it works. The barrier to entry is also pretty low because not everyone has a wordpress page. If you find that there’s demand you can always wrap it up as a plugin for different CMSs later.

Thx <@U03CQE0SPFB>, Goutham J and Matthias Endler. Guess I still have to figure out where to market this. But selling the script at gumroad for follow-ups like the plugin should be quite a good validation.

The market is probably here: https://www.reddit.com/r/gdpr/. 12,650 readers

Guess it’s a great opportunity to get over my fear of reddit then (or get even more frightened )

Honestly, I would target a friendlier mob. Privacy nuts on reddit aren’t the sort who will be that keen on any sort of self promotion. WordPress user groups, forums and chats would be a better way.
