Ever since building my first WordPress plugin I have been interested in the different business models around monetizing plugins. A while back I heard of Freemius, a monetization service for WordPress plugins and themes, that aims to do all the heavy lifting when it comes to selling your products, allowing you to concentrate on developing them.
Essentially, Freemius Monetization can take a premium plugin or theme and strip out features to create a free version to be distributed on the WordPress.org plugin directory. It also provides a quick and simple way for users to pay for upgrades to the plugin. This sounds too good to be true, so I thought I’d take it for a spin and share my experience.
