Jesus I knew these guys were doing good, but not THIS good. 2 mil a year on WordPress themes is absolutely insane!


There are over 18 million active WordPress blogs at the moment. It's a huge market. I spent a couple hours building a WordPress plugin and sold $200,000 in licenses for it in a year and a half.


I've made about $8,000 in sales selling my own theme modeled after the site I built for iJustine (theme link: http://whalesalad.com/tasty) but that's just a teeny fraction of what you made, let alone Woo! I have more in the pipe... but there's only one of me =/


Can I ask what it did, and the price?


I'm assuming this isn't sensitive since it is listed in his portfolio: it helps affiliate marketers build review sites on top of Wordpress, and costs about $100 a license.
