Finally, WordPress
I built dozens of content management systems that generated millions of dollars in value. Matt Mullenweg built one content management system, gave it away for free, became a leader in the open source revolution and generated more than a billion dollars in value. Maybe I was charging too much! Since 2003, I have run myContinue reading “Finally, WordPress”

YouTubers Just Got YouTubered
When I was searching for something new to build in 2014, Jason told me about the problems he was having with Mahalo on YouTube. At the time, a single YouTube subscriber was worth an estimated $0.10/year to publishers, but an email subscriber was worth $1.25/year. For Jason’s shows, collecting 100,000 email addresses could mean theContinue reading “YouTubers Just Got YouTubered”
