How I Coded A Website Plugin Making $600 Per Month
April 3rd, 2019
Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?
Hi! I’m Josh and I created Wheely Sales, a lucky wheel popup that works on any e-commerce platform. It’s basically like the Wheel of Fortune from the classic TV game show - but fully customizable for your online store!
For a chance to win a prize or discount, visitors enter their email address and spin the wheel. Since it’s something fun and different for users, it has much higher opt-in rates (~12%) than regular exit popups. I also conform to the “eat your own dog food” premise and use Wheely Sales on its own landing page! :)
I’ve grown revenue from $0 to $600/month in just 4 months since getting started and over 1.1 million people have seen the wheel on my customers’ websites in that time.
