I'm just wondering what ways could I go about selling templates online. At first I wanted to set up my own site and sell the templates there but I don't have a clue on how to set up a site (and code one) simliar to ones like Template Monsters. So my questions are: 1) What kind of coding strucutre/commerce would I need to perform the same tasks as Template Monsters? 2) Are there other ways to get my templates on the net for purchasing other than setting up my own site?
well I don't know much about selling templates but I think this is very competitive area. Even if you make a website, it will be really difficult for you to come on first page of any search engine. But still if you are determined enough than make a site(a bit ironical though that you are selling templates but don't know how to make a site ) Try to use adwords to get traffic(though it can go wrong for newbie like you) or try to give some catchy incentive and do unorthodox marketing. you can make 5dollartemplate.com if you want Best Of Luck
I don't get it.. are these templates you bought from someone else and now have reselling rights? Or actual templates you made yourself... if so why can't you make your own site? I'm confused.
Some people have good graphic design talent, and can make layouts and photoshop but can not code them.
The coding part was in reference to an e-commerce similar to what Template Monster has. I can build sites and and code them but I'm not to familar with e-commerce style coding and sites like those where I can set up and sell products via a website. Where it displays the price and how many have been downloaded so far. Also I make the templates myself, I'm not reselling tempaltes of any sort. Thanks for the help.
Well, paypal has integrated payment systems you can set up on your website, but I think you are looking for something more custom. I would suggest looking into PHP if you want to learn to code it yourself, and if not I would post in the B/S/T forums and see if a programmer on DP can help you out.
