Developing WordPress' Top Donation Plugin (Charitable) | Eric Daams | Future Tribe
This episode's guest is Eric Daams, the co-founder of Studio 164a (creators of Charitable, a WordPress plugin) and WordPress expert, who talks about the niche industry of WordPress plugins development. After studying history and Spanish in university, Eric discovered he had a profound interest in coding and eventually used this passion to create Charitable, WordPress' top-rated donation plugin. Eric discusses why he believes WordPress has continued to grow over the past decade and if he sees another platform overtaking it in the near future. Afterwards, Eric delves into his personal story and shares how difficult it was initially to develop a clientele base for his plugin. The show then concludes with our guest outlining the current health of Charitable and it's shortcode, as well as the marketing strategies he is currently implementing in order to further grow the plugin.
A plugin like Charitable is backed with WordPress security - which is important for a WordPress user when money is involved. The functionality of the Charitable WordPress plugin is designed with longevity in mind - a key selling feature.
If you have a WordPress site, chances are you're using some WordPress plugins. Some of these are built into the WordPress theme, while others are found through the WordPress dashboard. You should consider browsing through plugins, and take a look at a premium plugin or two if you have a WordPress website.
A WordPress site might also use other common WordPress plugins (some which are a free plugin) such as for social media, a WordPress blog or blog post, a search engine, a gallery plugin, a payment gateway, a custom post type, an seo plugin, and so much more.
