WP Meetup Vienna (September) - WordPress & Passive Income: Dream vs. Reality

Many dream of building income streams with WordPress – but what does it really take to make it work? In this meetup, two WordPress professionals share their personal journeys beyond client projects – with all the wins, struggles, and lessons learned along the way.

🕡 18:30 live, SAE-Vienna, Kaisersaal

⏱️ 19:00, Xaver Birsak will talk about his transition from freelancing to running his own plugin (Mailster) full-time. Many dream of making money with WordPress while they sleep – but the truth is, there’s no such thing as truly passive income. His talk will dive into why sustainable revenue always requires ongoing effort, whether through product updates, strategic adjustments, or customer support.

⏱️ 19:30, Dominik Liss will share his experiences with building plugins, launching online workshops, and creating a community – and why, in the end, his own attempt at “passive income” didn’t work out as planned.

We’ll wrap up with a Q&A and open discussion at 20:00, giving you the chance to ask questions and exchange ideas with fellow WordPress enthusiasts.
