Hey 👋
2021 was a turning point year. COVID made life slow and uncertain. At the same time, I started building my plugin business seriously. It was not easy, but it was the start of something real.
Business
I stopped doing mainly client projects and started building a WordPress plugin business full-time. PlugPress.io was born, and we started releasing Divi addon plugins. My older plugin WowCarousel also did well and supported the journey.
We also joined our first Black Friday campaign, and it went better than expected.
- Started PlugPress.io
- Released Divi addon plugins
- WowCarousel did well and brought revenue
Life
COVID lockdown kept everyone at home.
This year also pushed me toward simple things. I cooked more at home and learned a few new recipes.
I uploaded photos to Unsplash, and two of my photos reached around 7 million views combined. That was unexpected and honestly pretty cool.
One of our relatives got COVID while she was pregnant. Sadly, she lost her unborn child, and it was heartbreaking for us. But she fought hard, recovered, and Alhamdulillah, she is well now.
