Oddly enough, the only somewhat successful project ($20k/month peak passive income) I've ever had was when I didn't know how to code. I spent all my time on marketing and built the site in Wordpress + Plugins in 1 day.

The number of potentially successful businesses that can be built with Wordpress + Plugins (+ maybe Zapier) is crazy.

I have a few SaaS products out in the wild and find myself longing for the days where I just had to worry about maintaining a decent WP site (with various integrations around it).

All the work that goes into just maintaining a SaaS application tires you out - particularly if you're a solo founder - leaving less time available for marketing...

Curious how was the long term maintenance of a Wordpress site? Like applying security fixes, etc.
