Last week, we ran a successful giveaway and fundraiser to celebrate WPBeginner’s 5th birthday and help build 2 schools in Guatemala through Pencils of Promise charity. This would not be possible without our Platinum sponsors who donated $5000 towards the campaign. I want to highlight each of them by interviewing them about their business. In this interview, we have Pippin Williamson, founder of PippinsPlugins and Easy Digital Downloads . Pippin and I first met at the WordPress community summit. We started talking more after hanging out at several WordCamps across U.S. I have always been a big fan of Pippin’s work specially with his Easy Digital Downloads plugin. We use his plugin to sell our products such as OptinMonster. Pippin always gives back to the community, so it was no surprise to me when he stepped up to become a Platinum level sponsor.

When I was just 12 years old, I put together my first short story; The Adventures of Ronnie and Friends , which later disappeared from my locker under mysterious circumstances. At that tender age, I never for once thought I would eventually put bread on the table writing, or rather blogging. Before I discovered blogging though, I would write … [Read more...] about My Beautiful WordPress Life: Meet Freddy

As you guys knew that I was going to be attending Affiliate Summit West 2012. One of my favorite session was the closing keynote given by my friend Jeremy Schoemaker aka Shoemoney. Jeremy shared his story of how he went from being in debt of thousands of dollars to making an 8-figure online income through his blog and other internet ventures. He gave me a shout out in his keynote for our Free WordPress Setup idea This was Jeremy’s 50th time speaking and according to him it would be the last. I was in Jeremy’s first keynote that he gave at Izeafest in 2008. This presentation was very insightful and I definitely learned few very important lessons. Some of them are already implemented in my business modal which I am glad for. Lesson #1: If you want to be successful, you have to do what others (your competitors) are not willing to. Often people are afraid of adapting new things. They don’t know whether it will be good for their business. Whether this be a new social media … [Read more...] about Successful Bloggers Do What Others are Not Willing To (Affiliate Summit West Keynote)
