Five effective ways of making money out of web templates
Web templates are the in-thing now-a-days and most of them are
selling like hot cakes resulting into huge profits for web
template providers. You too can cash-in on this web template
craze and make money. Discussed in this article are five
effective ways of making money out of web templates.
Five effective ways to make money out of web templates
1.) Creating turnkey pages from web templates
Turnkey websites are the hottest resource on the internet. If
you are a web designer, web hosting company or simply own a
website you can make good money by creating turnkey websites
from readymade web templates.
What are turn key websites?
Turnkey websites are completely functional websites having
relevant content, domain names and hosting. Depending on the
type, turnkey websites can have shopping carts, interactive
scripts, graphics forms, forums, live chats etc. All that a
buyer needs to do is buy the website and he is ready to do
business.
What you need to do?
In order to set up a turn key website business, you need to do
the following;
1) Purchase professional looking web templates with resell
rights or join a template membership program
2.) Modify the web templates by adding relevant content, links,
images and graphics
3.) Purchase domain names and hosting accounts
4) Host the completed web templates as websites
5) Advertise/promote your websites for sale/rent by SEO and
Email marketing
What will be your ROI? You ROI Will surely be very high. This is
because of the fact that the retail value of turnkey websites is
around $200 - $500 per website and can also go higher based on
the website quality. You can also go for renting your websites
instead of selling them. As you will be purchasing web-templates
for a cheaper cost your ROI will be higher. The best way to go
about it is by joining membership programs that will give you
access to a host of web templates at a low one time cost. Also
make sure to host your sites with hosting service providers who
offer unlimited domain name hosting. One good example of a
turnkey website service is ready-set-web.com. 2.) Joining an
affiliate program Affiliate programs are quite popular over the
net. If you have a well ranking website with a good traffic
margin then you can very well join an affiliate program offered
by many if not all web template providers. All that you need to
do is promote their templates and you can make easy money in the
form of commissions. What you need to do? In order to join an
affiliate program you need to register yourself for the program.
As soon as the registration process is over you will receive a
link or banner advert that you can place on your website at
strategic places. In case your website visitor clicks the banner
and makes the purchase you get a part of the commission.
Commissions can range from 2% to 10% of the actual sales
proceeds. Most companies use tracking software programs or
individual services like clicksgalore, commission junction etc.
for tracking sales.
Some good web template providers who offer affiliate programs
are buytemplates.net, templatehunter.com, templatemagic.net and
webzonetemplates.com Before joining an affiliate program make
sure that the template provider offers allied/complimentary
services like web hosting, search engine optimization, content
insertion, domain name registration, template customization etc.
In fact the more the complimentary services offered the better
will be your returns.
3.) Reselling/redistributing web templates
If you own a website that attracts good traffic or is likely to
attract traffic in the future, you can go for purchasing
templates as a bulk and reselling them. To get redistribution
rights all that you need to do is purchase reseller templates that
many web template providers offer today. Some good web template
vendors who offer reseller templates are
http://www.buytemplates.net , http://www.templatemagic.net and
freewebsitetemplates.com. Purchasing reseller templates on your
own and reselling them can fetch you more returns than by
joining an affiliate program.
What you need to do?
All that you need to do is purchase web templates that come with
resell rights. You can then modify the templates and sell them
to potential customers with non-exclusive rights. You certainly
need not be a html pro to start this business; instead you can
partner with template providers who offer related services like
template customization, hosting, SEO etc. and earn good
commissions by referring your customers to them.
4.) Joining Referral based programs
Referral programs are very unlike affiliate programs in the
sense that they do not involve you to place links or banner ads
on your site. This is basically a word of mouth program and
requires you to promote products by word-of-mouth. In case a
customer referred by you joins a membership program or buys a
web template and refers your name in the referral section, you
get a commission. But such referral programs are offered by very
few template vendors today.
5.) Web designing with web templates
If you are a professional web designer you can earn higher
returns by making use of web templates. Firstly you can satisfy
your clients with the speed at which you complete the work and
at the same time get more ROI as the readymade website templates
are way cheap. All that you need to do is buy exclusive
templates and resell them after making modifications. One way to
go about it is by joining membership programs offered by web
template providers. This will give you access to a host of web
templates at a one time cost. Most web designers can almost
double their profits, take care of multiple projects and also
retain customers by making use of this technique. Also web
designers can attract new customers by lowering their service
charges.
So what if you cant make web templates on your own, you can
still cash in on web templates by making use of these sales
techniques.
