WPMU DEV supports all sorts of WordPress, WPMU and BuddyPress sites – many of which have to make a profit.
And, in order to help you do this we’ve developed advertising, pay to blog and premium blogging service plugins… which we use to make a healthy profit on Edublogs and ofer similar upgrades functionality to sites like WordPress.com.
Our core ‘premium blogging’ plugin (as used on Edublogs) is the ‘Supporter’ plugin but we have also developed a range of other money-making plugins which you can see listed below.
This is our premium upgrades functionality and what we use on Edublogs.org and Blogs.mu – it allows your users to subscribe to receive a range of benefits ranging from extra storage, to access to plugins and the ability, use their own domains and to turn off advertising on their site… it rocks out and we’re improving it all the time.
