Tracy Childers runs what is arguably one of the largest and best-known membership plugins for WordPress called WishList Member. After starting the business with business partner Stu McClaren, the tool quickly rose to prominence.

But, a few years ago the two parted ways on great terms. Stu was just ready for a new challenge, leaving Tracy to continue on in the business. As WordPress has evolved both as a product, and the marketplace has changed over time, Tracy found out (just like we did) that WordPress can be an amazing if not fickle place to make a living.

Find out how Tracy has rebuilt WishList Member from the ground up, found the limits of his team, energy and focus - to build a tool that customers love and has transitioned to a sustainable subscription service business.

We've been WishList Member customers for years, so if you're looking to push WordPress into advanced membership management, WishList Member is the OG platform you're looking for with fair prices and great support: https://member.wishlistproducts.com/
