If you work alone or run a small web group, how good would it be to make your one time web projects into a steady, sure money stream each month or year?

With WPSubscription, you can give your clients services on a subscription model such as website upkeep, SEO help, or content changes, all planned as easy monthly or yearly payments.

No need to run after payments or worry about renewals!

Action Plan: Creating Monthly or Yearly Subscription Services with WPSubscription

Decide What You’ll Offer

Think about what ongoing help your clients truly need most. Maybe it’s:

  • Regular website backups to keep their data safe
  • Plugin, theme, and security updates to keep things running smoothly
  • SEO tweaks to help their site get found
  • Fresh content updates to keep things current

Set clear, simple pricing for your plans on a monthly or quarterly basis, reflecting the value and effort involved. For example:

Set Up Your Subscription Products in WordPress

1. Add product

In your WordPress space, click on Products, then Add New. Name your product in a simple way, like “website monetization.”

Add an inviting description that explains what your clients will get with each plan.
