I run https://formcrafts.com and http://formcraft-wp.com, and both are profitable, netting over 150k+ a year in total. They were my side projects when I was in accounting school, lol

FYI: uBlock Origin blocks formcrafts because it's used by malware.

We do get people using our site for phishing (perks of a freemium model), and, being a small fish, sometimes get the whole domain blocked. Working on the uBlock thing. They haven't replied back.

I am responsible for uBlock Origin (the other uBlock is abandonware), and I haven't received anything from you. In any case, my answer would have been that I am not responsible of the content of 3rd-party filter lists, and in the current case you would need to contact malwaredomains.com, they are the ones listing you as malware.

My apologies for the confusion. I contacted malwaredomains.com and got formcrafts.com off the list.

Nice sites!

I've got a small plugin that I've been struggling to get traction with (https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-content-calendar-lite/). Would be very interested to know what you've done to get users.

It's pretty hard to get traction through the plugin repository. I offer mine for sale at codecanyon.net. I feel the repository is good for utility plugins, but well-made, premium plugins should definitely be on a marketplace.

I sell a plugin on CodeCanyon as well. They get a big cut from the sale value and the marketplace could have been better but there's no better of its kind so I can't complain. I make around 400usd a month with very little effort.

What kind of plugins do you make?
