Make Money Online with WordPress Themes
Posted by Mike | Filed under Make Money Online“Duh… we know this already!”
I know you’d say that. I made this post to help people (especially the newbies) make money with WordPress themes and to emphasize the different ways to earn with the said themes.
The Facts
Okay, so… Let’s get straight to the point. The number of bloggers is increasing day by day. We can’t deny the fact that most of them are WordPress users, meaning they use WordPress themes to customize the look of their blogs. Because of this, we can make money online with WP themes in various ways!

Ways to Make Money Online with WordPress Themes
Sell your WordPress themes.
If you are able to design and code good-looking themes, then you know what to do. Create nice themes then sell them for a good price. A premium theme usually costs around $50, so if you enjoy designing, you’ll earn a lot of money in no time!
Keep in mind that premium themes may be sold to a number of people, so just create themes and watch the money come in. You may also specify that you will only sell the theme to one person. People will place good offers on your theme because they know that it’s unique and it will never be sold again! If you’re looking for a place to sell your themes, I suggest DigitalPoint’s Templates Marketplace.
Create custom WordPress themes for bloggers.
Custom themes are more expensive than premium themes because they are customized to fit the topic of a blog. Some designers without an established portfolio yet offer custom themes for $75 to $150. That’s the price of a designer trying to build a portfolio. Imagine if you’re a premier designer already… Some custom themes from well-known designers go for $700 or more! Can you feel the $$$?
Create FREE WordPress themes and sell sponsored links.
A lot of people want backlinks, so selling sponsored links on free WordPress themes is a great way to make money. Remember, more and more people are using WordPress… and more people are using WP themes.
Here’s a short “explanation” why selling this technique is a real moneymaker: A beautiful theme = more sponsors and more potential theme users = more backlinks for the sponsors = more money for you = Everyone is happy. Got it? Awesome.
Buy WordPress themes, get sponsors and release the themes for free.
This method worked really well for me. I bought *cough* and I’m still looking for more… *cough* WordPress themes for no more than $120 each. Instead of using them, I looked for sponsors and released the themes for free. What can I say? I was impressed with the results! I earned lots of money (and backlinks too).
I bought one theme for $50, it looked really good so it attracted lots of sponsors. I sold two (2) links to sponsors for a total of $90 ($45 each). Then I put my own link on the theme. So I earned $40 and got a link to my site as well. Pretty cool, huh?
I did not only use this method on one theme, I bought numerous WordPress themes. The revenue potential is great, so try this technique now and tell me your results.
Anyway, that’s it. This post is over. Thanks for reading, and I hope you learned something new. Ta-ta for now!












Hi,
It’s nice to know that you can make some money with WP themes and stuff like that. But it hits me hard when I realize that I can’t design or code a theme for nuts.
PS: I tried posting this comment once, couldn’t do it. So, I’m posting it again. Pardon me if it gets published twice. And no, this was not an evil manipulative move to increase my comment count.
Thanks for dropping by! Neither I can design or code themes… but I buy themes then sell them for a higher price (or sell some sponsored links).
Anyway… you may send me an e-mail through the contact form if you’re interested in guest blogging.

Hey! I am quiet happy to know that we can make money online with the WordPress themes and it is really a good idea of creating WordPress themes and selling sponsored links.
I agree with the whole post. I have made several WP themes before and I do earn some nice $$ with it. I suggest you start learning PHP, HTML and CSS and start designing if you want to make some cash
