How I Built "Build a Module.com"

Speaker(s):

Build a Module.com (http://buildamodule.com) is a video tutorial site for Drupal developers, and since its release I've gotten a number of questions about how the site was created, what tools I used, and questions about moving from freelancing to product sales. This will be an open session to answer whatever questions I can to help attendees move forward on their own products and projects.

To add a question you would like answered, go to http://chrisshattuck.com/bam and vote or add new questions.

The goal of this session is to answer any questions you might have either as subscribers or as individuals wanting to launch a product-based model. Some topics I anticipate covering:

  • Tips on setting up recurring fees on a Drupal site
  • Tips on video encoding and distribution
  • How to prepare for product distribution
  • Thoughts on making the leap from a contractor to a product developer
  • Tips on building a highly usable site
  • Dealing with piracy
  • Tips on how to view competition as healthy and important
  • What modules and which theme were used, and why

Looking forward to it!
