When I first heard about WordPress back in the early days, I dismissed it as just another blogging tool.

But fast forward a few years, and it was clear: WordPress was a goldmine for freelancers who got in early. From building themes and plugins to offering customization services, those early movers created massive businesses—or steady passive income streams—off of what started as a "simple" CMS.

Today, we’re seeing history repeat itself. Only this time, the opportunity isn't in blogging. It’s in no-code platforms like Fuzen.io—and freelancers who act now might just unlock the next wave of success.

🕰️ Flashback: The WordPress Freelancer Gold Rush

In the mid-2000s, WordPress quietly gained traction with indie builders and hobby developers because:

  • It was easy to use: A bit of HTML/CSS was enough to launch a fully functioning site.

  • Themes and plugins created new revenue streams: Freelancers sold pre-built designs or tools via marketplaces like ThemeForest and CodeCanyon.

  • Community support made it beginner-friendly: Tutorials, forums, and documentation empowered self-learners to go pro.

Some freelancers went full-time. Others built agencies or passive income machines. Many became financially independent.

⚡ History Repeats: Why Fuzen.io Could Be the Next Big Freelance Platform

Today’s WordPress moment is happening in no-code.

And Fuzen.io is at the forefront—making it easy to build SaaS products, internal tools, and business automations without writing a single line of code.

Here’s why early freelancers should be paying close attention:

1. A Surge in Demand for Custom SaaS Tools

Small businesses, agencies, and teams everywhere now want custom apps—but hiring developers is costly. With Fuzen, freelancers can step in and deliver rapid, tailored solutions for a fraction of the cost.

2. Early Mover Advantage

Just like WordPress in 2007, Fuzen is still early in its adoption curve. If you start building now, you have a unique chance to become a go-to expert, build niche tools, and dominate verticals before the crowd shows up.

3. Productized Income, Not Just Service Work

One huge upside: Freelancers on Fuzen can turn their workflows into reusable templates or SaaS products. These can be sold over and over again—just like WordPress plugins.

This isn’t just freelancing. It’s scalable, repeatable income.

🧠 What We Can Learn From WordPress Veterans

The freelancers who won big during the WordPress boom:
