Wordpress is a very powerful CMS (Content Management System). It has tons of capability and can be extremely powerful. There’s only one thing in the way from all of this power and you as the blog owner – your theme. See, no matter how many awesome features such as threaded comments or breadcrumb navigation or even an “edit” link beside each post are added, you’re limited by your theme that you are using. If you theme isn’t “smart” enough to use these features, well, quite frankly, you can’t use them.
This is a post for all the Wordpress theme developers out there. Here are only a few of the many great snippets of code that will take your current theme creation and make it that much better. Please, use them.
Making money online. When you hear those words, what’s the first thing that pops into your head? A year ago, I would’ve instantly thought “Google ads on a website”. I’m sure that’s what many of you thought of too.
There are literally hundreds of ways to make money online, and if you can just perfect one of those methods, you’ll be good to go. Maybe not quit-your-day-job rich, but you’ll have a very comfortable amount of secondary income coming in every week. Who wouldn’t want that?
In this post, I’ll be outlining the 3 best ways to make money with Wordpress themes. I’ve used each of these methods myself, and have experimented around in all three. I know what works best for me, and what doesn’t. At the end of the post, I’ll let you guys know my opinion on what I feel is the best technique.
I’ve been checking out ThemeForest.net looking for new themes and was super excited to see they’ve added PHP scripts to their list. I’ve known about Themeforest for over a year but I’d have to say the quality of work has gotten better.. yes, they’ve always been good but they’ve really set the bar higher in my opinion.
I recommend taking another look if it’s been awhile and if you’ve never checked them out I recommend doing so now.
They also have graphics, flash files and audio files and the have really resonable prices.
The Ultimate Client Manager gives Freelancers the ability to Receive and reply to support requests from customers, Track payments with PayPal, Allow customers to log in and see their information and payment history, Alerts and Reminder notifications for domain renewal / hosting renewals / phone calls.. etc… plus more and you can buy this script for 12 bucks!

OIO Publisher is a very user-friendly and easy to use Wordpress plugin that lets advertisers buy space on your site without you having to lift a finger. All you have to do is set the plugin up by setting the types of spaces you want to sell, for example, banners, text-links, or inline ads in each of your front page posts and setting the price for each. You’ll also have to fill in a few other details, such as how long an advertiser can rent the space and your Paypal ID. That’s basically it. Now all you’ll have to do is click the “approve” button anytime someone submits their link / banner to the site.
This is basically the same concept as the publisher program , except, OIO Publisher has one major advantage… no middle-man. Text-Link-Ads has this nasty habit of taking 50% of the money you earn for themselves, those greedy bastards… With OIO Publisher, all the money that you earn goes directly into your Paypal account, it’s great. ForTheLose.org has already sold two banner slots and one text-link slot. If you want to advertise your site / product here, just check under “Advertise Here” on the sidebar to see what we have open.
Flexible

sell all forms of text ads, banner ads, and paid reviews
custom purchases also allow you to sell digital products
display ads on any website you like using php or javascript
click and impression tracking, plus weekly ad reports emailed to advertisers

Where can I get it?
Even if you aren’t sure if you want the plugin, check out the homepage of it anyway for more info. It does cost you a one-time payment of $47 for unlimited use of the plugin. You can use it on all the sites you want. BUT…and this is a big “but”… if you buy it now and use the coupon code “INDIGO-BLOGGER”, you get $10 off of the full price, meaning you only pay $37! Trust me, OIO Publisher will pay for itself in just a few days.. I’m not sure when this coupon code expires, so even if you can’t use the OIO Publisher right now, get it anyway for the future before the coupon goes bad or even worse – if the price goes up.
To get $10 off this plugin (and buy it for only $37.00), use the following coupon code when purchasing: INDIGO-BLOGGER.
So what are you waiting for? Go use one of these coupons on OIO Publisherright now before they expire!

The eBay plugin is very simple but effective. Once installed you input your EbayNetwork Campaign number into the settings, and how many ads you want to appear on each post.
Place the code <?php cybersebay(); ?> within the Wordpress loop and you are set.
The first time you use the plugin you will add a Custom Field to your post with the Key name, ebay. And use the value to hold the keyword for this post to import eBay ads. From here on out, whenever you write a post, you can select the custom field key, ebay from the pulldown list and add the keyword you wish to show listings for.
Below is an example from another site. The article is titled “Fun Stocking Stuffers” and the keyword for eBay is “Christmas Stocking Stuffers”

In order for any person to
make money blogging you need to advertise, promote
affiliate marketing, and generate interest in products that will make you money. Smart Ads is a great plugin that helps place advertisements on your blog without having to constantly input the html code. The Smart Ads Wordpress plugin will allow you to automatically place ads before and after your blog posts. There are additional options to remove ads for subscribers, showing ads on posts older then a certain amount of time, and to disable the top ad if the top of the post contains an image. One of the nicer features of the SmartAds Wordpress plug-in is the ability to create a “SmartAd” which is a custom ad that you can add to your blog.
The Feedburner Feedsmith plug-in automatically redirects to your Feedburner feed regardless of how various users access it. Taking a couple of minutes to setup a feedburner account allows you to combine this plug-in with the feedburner subscribe by email option. As you see on my blog (its the subscribe to my blog form). This means you’ll give subscribers multiple options of subscribing, whether by RSS feed, email, or ShareThis.
If you use the “more” tag in
your blog posts (meaning, you just show a short amount of
your blog posts on your home page with a “Continue Reading” or similar link leading the reader to the full post), then only the part of your post before the “more” tag (before the “Continue Reading” or similar link) is visible in your feed to subscribers. If you want your subscribers to see your full posts in their feed readers, then the Full Text Feed plug-in is for you.
With this plug-in, your full posts will show up to subscribers in their feed readers at all times.
This is a great plugin for people who want to maximize the ad space on their blogs. Using text files that you create, the plugin automatically rotates between the ads you specify to appear in a particular space on your blog.
This is a light-weight and easy to use plugin which allows you to add any text and/or HTML/CSS code to your posts and/or pages as prefix (top / beginning), middle and/or suffix (bottom /end). (That includes even any new or old posts and pages and even your feed)
