One way to attract traffic to your website is with “widget bait” - offering useful WordPress add-ons. But that’s not the only way to make your site more appealing to potential customers.
You see, when you create your own widget, you can submit it to WordPress.org. Once WordPress approves it, thousands of webmasters around [...]
When we began publishing Early to Rise online in December of 1999, we didn’t have an e-mail list… we didn’t have products… we didn’t have much in the way of internal resources or a budget… and we weren’t even sure what our target market was.
