@Jeffro - I agree that's great news. I hope you find another way to make some money from your efforts.

I've been thinking about this. The people who a) have the money and b) are willing to spend it are those using WordPress to run websites that make them money. When they have a problem, or need some custom work done, they're often willing to pay.

Now, I know you'll say that you don't have the technical skills to help these people, BUT you do have a very solid community that does have these skills. Maybe you can hook the two up and take a cut of the profits?

Just throwing some ideas out there, but what about a Support forum where people could pay $50 to post what their problem is, then the WPT community jumps in and solves it for them. The person who provides the solution gets 50%, you get 50%. Okay, maybe you may want to give the person solving the problem a higher percentage, but you get the drift. The WordPress Support Forum is full of topics where people didn't get an answer - some of these would be willing to pay for the answer.

Or what about a 'job-board' co-ordinating freelance work? Okay, there are other places out there for that, but you have the community that could provide those services and enough reputation to get some traction...

Anyway, over to you. I hope you do find a model to make some money from all the effort you're putting in.
