#1836 Building big business off of an existing platform like WordPress

Startup Stories - Mixergy - A podcast by Andrew Warner - Fridays

The idea of plugins for WordPress being a business has been around for a while now. Joining me is an entrepreneur who’s been in this space. He’s got plugins that had been downloaded millions of times, that has generated solid revenue. But he said, “You know, the future is not just letting people have all the ingredients in building a website. I want to give everyone the whole package. I will host a website for them. I will make sure that WordPress works well for them. And I will give them the plugins that they need. And he did it by creating a nice drag-and-drop builder that actually competes with some of the more modern drag-and-drop experiences that have come after WordPress for publishing websites. That is the business model that he created. I invited him here to talk about how he did it.

Armen Saghatelian is the co-Founder of 10Web.io which is an all-in-one WordPress Website Builder.
