You must be joking.

WordPress is growing in popularity like wildfire. And you can easily take advantage of this fact.

Here’s how you can make a living as a WordPress Expert:

What To Do?

Here are some things that you can do as a WordPress Expert:

  1. Theme Development: People are always looking for good themes for their blogs and websites. Make a good one and you can sell it for good profits.
  2. Plugin Development: If you have an idea for a plugin to solve a big problem or even fix minor annoyances, go and develop it. If it is good enough, people will pay for it.
  3. Troubleshooting: Problems are inevitable. If someone faces a problem, then you can help fix them.

Where To Sell?

Once you have determined what you are going to do, next step is to decide where you will sell your files or services. Here are some good marketplaces:

  1. themeforest: themeforest is a theme marketplace which allows you to sell themes for different content management systems including WordPress.
  2. codecanyon: codecanyon is similar to themeforest but you can sell plugins here.
  3. WP Plugins: WP Plugins is a plugin marketplace for premium plugins.
  4. Your Own E-Commerce Store: If you are offering troublehooting or other related services, then your own e-commerce store is the way to go. You can set up one using WordPress itself.

These are some of the ways you can use to make a living from WordPress.
