Earnings on selling WordPress themes on Themeforest and TemplateMonster
How do you make money selling templates?
There are currently two large marketplaces (Themeforest & TemplateMonster) for selling WordPress themes on the market. You can become an author on these sites by uploading your WordPress theme and start getting sales from customers from all over the world.
Where to start developing WordPress themes?
You need to start by choosing a topic for a future topic. Analyze the categories on ThemeForest & template monster, decide what topic you will be doing. It can be a business card website, portfolio, corporate design. You need to choose one of the directions.
Design for WordPress Themes
Design is the most important thing, it is a good design that will bring you sales, no matter how cool the code is written, no one will buy your theme without good design.
I'm a developer, where can I get the design?
If you are a developer and do not do web design, I advise you from personal experience - do not do the design yourself.
- You can order design creations from the freelancer, be sure to tell the designer that this is a template for sale.
- You can buy a ready-made design, for this, you need to look at already accepted work in the categories PSD Templates, Sketch templates. Having chosen the design you like, contact the author for a purchase.
- To stir up collaboration with the designer. You can find a designer and offer him to do a joint work for sale, in which case the profit is divided between the developer and the designer. Similarly to the search for a designer, you can offer a partnership to the author on the site with an already published design.
- Barter - I know the author who got the rights to cool design in return for developing WordPress themes for the designer. By agreeing with designers, you can do exactly the same.
Why is it worth using ready-made solutions for developing WordPress themes?
The first why you should pay attention to the ready-made solution is a large, formed community, take for example an addition to the standard WordPress customizer - Kirki is used in thousands of themes, this solution is constantly being developed and is always relevant for new versions of WordPress and you will almost never have it problems.
Given the fact that there are ready-made solutions, the list of which I use, I will write below. A lot of authors use them in their topics, as well as customers are used to these solutions and love them.
Again, I will take as an example an addition to the standard Kirki customizer - Many authors consider this the best solution for creating rich options for the theme, and they only use it.
The buyer who will buy yours will not have to spend a lot of time studying the theme’s settings, building pages, and other manipulations in the case of writing his own settings, using good ready-made solutions will simplify life as a theme author (There will not be many calls for support, angry reviews, bugs) so to the client. When developing topics, you should make it convenient, as easy to configure as possible, and foresee everything to the smallest detail and a ready-made solution perfectly helps with this with its rich set of functions and time saving, because you do not need to do everything from scratch.
You can be a cool programmer, and flattering to write everything yourself and it deserves respect, but still, I advise you to look at the plugins and frameworks because creating themes for sale requires a different approach than developing client projects.
List of ready-made solutions that I use in my topics:
- Underscores
- Unyson
- Visual composer
- ACF Pro
- Revolution slider
- Contact Form 7
- Ultimate Addons for Visual Composer
- Woocommerce
