Paying for Wordpress Plugins: Yes or No?

Written by admin on November 17, 2008 – -

As you know, Wordpress is probably one of the most popular blogging platforms out there now. And with a popular platform comes the additional features which helps customize your blog. Things like Wordpress themes and templates, plugins and more. But one of my questions is: Would you pay for a Wordpress plugin?

I understand paying for themes because that is directly what people see. The first thing your visitor recognizes is the layout but plugins are not even visible to the readers. Well, at least most of them aren’t.

The reason why people pay for plugin’s is simply because in the long run, it saves them time to focus on bigger and better things. Personally, I have a few plugin’s that people have to pay for and I got them because they are simply worth it.

I know a lot of people aren’t a big fan of paying a single dime (let alone pay for self-hosting) but if you’re serious about making money online, you need to know how to focus on the time you may potentially lose from doing something else.

You know what they say, “time is money.”

Honestly, I learned that the hard way. Well, not really but because I was introduced to some interesting features, like Wordpress plugin’s, that cut my working time by hours a week. That just let me redirect my time and effort into bigger projects that I’ve been postponing for quite sometime.

So, would I pay for Wordpress plugin’s?

In the beginning, probably not only because I had no idea what I was doing. Now that I’m making a decent amount of money online, I would definitely spend some extra cash to help save me time.

Next up, outsourcing!

    I wouldn’t pay for wordpress plugins. Only ones that are going to directly make you money (like OIO publisher). That is what I would recommend

    I agree with what Ryan said. Some plugins like OIO Publisher make managing ads super easy and are well worth their price.

    But it would be productive to someone who is making money from his blog and wants to save his time and automate the process.
