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

http://www.buytemplates.netweb 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 can’t make web templates on your own, you can still cash in on web templates by

making use of these sales techniques.
