I believe running a successful business should be less time-consuming, not more. That's why choosing the right long-term tools is key. In this video, I reveal 3 proven ways small businesses—not just nonprofits—can use the GiveWP plugin to own their revenue and build an income stream that scales with them. Here's what you'll learn: Donations for Small Businesses: How to set up a "Buy Me a Coffee" style donation form on your WordPress site using the FREE version of GiveWP. The $20,000 Crowdfunding Secret: My full breakdown of how I used GiveWP, Liquid Web, and vanilla WordPress to crowdfund a book and raise between $15k–$20k—all while keeping platform fees minimal. Simple Subscriptions/Patrons: Skip the opaque fees of platforms like Patreon and set up simple, monthly subscriptions using GiveWP's easy integrations with email service providers (Kit, MailChimp) and Zapier for premium content like a podcast. Don't settle for tools that lock you in or nickel-and-dime you with fees. Own your platform and simplify your success! ??
