About

A lot of newsletters intended for WordPress tend to lend themselves primarily to people who work in the WordPress ecosystem. Theme developers, plugin developers and agencies. The WP Edge is a newsletter meant for users. Specifically, for solopreneurs, coaches, creators and membership site owners who use WordPress as the platform for their website.

The WP Edge is intended for people who use WordPress for business. I combine a a mix of business strategy and WordPress.

Every issue includes strategy, how-tos… as well as the news and updates from the WordPress space each week. Stay on top of what’s going on… and how you can best apply it to your business so you can make more money.

This newsletter began in 2017 under the name of The Daily. It originally ran every weekday, but was eventually adjusted and adapted under additional rebrands – including The Edge and The Morning WP. Today, it is simply known as the WP Edge.

The WP Edge is the official newsletter of the Blog Marketing Academy.


I’m David Risley and I’ll be your assistant into the world of WordPress each week in The WP EDGE. Not just WordPress, but also business strategy. I’ve been working online myself since 1998, have personally generate millions of dollars online, and have been using WordPress (for myself and clients) for many years.

We are based out of sunny Florida. One of my biggest passions is traveling in our RV with my wife and kids, living a balance of work and play. I’m a shorts-and-sandals guy, and I’m most at home sitting in a folding chair, in a campsite, smoking the occasional cigar.
