    Hi all,

    I'm halfway in creating my first premium wordpress theme, i'm thinking of building one website dedicated to the theme.

    Does anyone have any experiences/tips they would like to share in this area?

    Matt :)

    I have made a similar site in the past.
    Found the trick was put a low price and make sure there is something like wordpresstheme in the domain most of the sales then came from the search engines, as there are lots of people looking for them.
    Also a selection of about 5 normally helps.

    There are so many free wordpress themes. No need to buy premium ones.

    I wouldn't fork out $100s for a theme unless it really requires. Besides, not when there's these 8 around :rolleyes:

    I have a premium -- Cost about $164 for the license.

    I have it one 10 blogs (so only 10 bucks average per blog = not bad). :)

    Make sure your theme site is attractive and have necessary information needed by client.
    The important part is do a affiliate such as pay 20% of sales to a person who introduce your theme to the buyer.
