The TIME politics page, or Swampland, is a nice example of how large publications use WordPress to discuss different topics and reach out to readers. It also shows how you can customize WordPress since they have unique navigation tabs on the side for locating new articles.

Smart Passive Income is a high-traffic blog with a podcast, tons of articles and books to buy if you are looking to make money online.

From tech to fashion, WordPress offers people a chance to discuss just about anything. The WordPress community works nicely to find other blogs that relate with yours to think of new content and connect with other bloggers. StyleWatch is a section of People that focuses on celebrity fashion.

MP3.com

MP3.com Site

WordPress is perfect for creating communities and sharing digital content, similar to how it is used by MP3.com. The site allows artists to upload their own music and share it with the world. You can also find how WordPress works with other forms of media, since they upload videos and photos as well.

Reuters

Reuters Blogs

Reuters pushes its highly-read articles through the WordPress interface. The “news source for decision makers” has a network of blogs that cover various different topics.

AMC

AMC

If you run a site focused on videos, WordPress has all the tools to show them to your viewers. Simply embed your videos so people can start watching with the click of a button. AMC delivers clips from its shows like Walking Dead to show previews and recaps from each episode.

eBay

Ebay Site

The final brand I want to highlight is eBay. Sure, they run a different system for auctions, but the eBay inc blog is a hub for buyers and sellers to learn about the company and discuss new ways to make money on the site.

Let us know in the comments if you have any questions about these brands that make money with WordPress. Do you fall into one of these industries? Are you thinking of building a WordPress site or going with an alternative content management system?
