Awesome content for WordPress Plugin & Theme developers

The team at Freemius writes some of the best content in the WordPress space. It's the kind of reading I bookmark for when I'm planning to sit with a coffee and enjoy but also take furious notes on what I need to do next to improve my business. It's top-notch, can't recommend it enough.~ Matt Cromwell, GiveWP
