Make Money With WordPress Themes

I would just like to say before I start talking about how this method can make you money that I haven’t actually tried this method my self. I just found out about this today and will probably try this next week. However, I have been looking around and I’m 99% sure you will make profit with this method, next week I’ll post some results after I test this.

If you have ever tried to start your own wordpress blog you probably searched around to find a nice theme for it, and if you were just starting out you probably chose a free one. Did you ever think about why there are so many free themes for wordpress? People include links in the footer to gain backlinks, we’ll be making money by selling those links in the footer and the designer link.

The most important and hardest part is finding good themes for a low price, you should check the Template section @ digitalpoint daily because every so often a hidden gem is over looked and you can get really good designs for a low price when people are desperate for money.  Important things to look for when buy the theme are:

• Price, I recommend getting one for less than 50$, maybe a little bit more if it is really good
• Widget ready, around 99% of themes now days are, if they one you’re going to buy isn’t then don’t buy it
• Theme validates ( w3c validator)
• Theme is generic - try to find generic looking themes, themes which only go with one niche aren’t really a good choice

After you bought your theme head over to link sales section @ DP and start a new thread.  The title of the thread should be something along the lines of :

Sponsor a Perimuim WordPress Theme

The thread should include information about the theme, a screen shot of the theme and a live demo of it. I recommend selling 4 normal links, each for 15$-20$ and 1 designer link for 20-25$ . You should look at some of the other threads on DP to see examples of how people structure their threads, etc. You should also mention that you will submit the theme to 20 or 30 websites/forums (more about this later).

After you sell all the links you will have to edit the footer.php file to add their links, the links will have to be encrypted. If you have really basic knowledge of php/html you’ll be fine, read this tutorial to learn how to encrpyt the links. If you don’t know how to do it then try talking to the guy you bought the theme off, if you’re lucky then he’ll do it for you otherwise just try asking other people on the forum or just ask yours truely .

Now that you have the theme ready with all the links encrypted in the footer you can either submit the site manually to 20/30 sites or you can pay dpsubi1 to do it for you, I recommend the later option. After you get dpsubi1’s report just forward it to the link buyers.

The worst possible scenario will go like this:

• Theme : -50$
• Links sold:  +80$
• Paid for theme submissions: -6$

Total : 24$ profit.

Hopefully you’ll get more money for the links and pay less for the theme. If you have any questions feel free to comment, just remember that I have yet to test this my self.
