I’ve been building some WordPress themes and plugins. What are the online marketplaces I can sell them?
here is a nice brake down for you:
MarketPlaces
Themes:
Theme Forest
– Probably the biggest theme marketplace by Evanto. Rates: New authors begin at the 50%.
Templamatic
– Rates: between 50% and 70%.
BuyStockDesign
– Rates: Start from 50% to 75%.
BuySellWordpress
– Rates: Starts from 50% and may go up to 70%.
WPmart
– Free listing.
Plugins:
Code Canyon
– Probably the biggest Plugin marketplace again by Evanto.
– Rates: New authors begin at the 50%
WPPlugins
– The only other major plugin market place by Incsub.
– Rates: 70% fixed.
WPmart
Forums
There is a lot of potential for selling templates on webmaster and webdev forums with marketplaces and very high traffic:
- Webmaster-Talk
- TalkFreelance
- Digital Point
Other Designers and Developers
Two approaches here
- Contact Designers and Developers who are selling in there own sites and ask to list your theme/plugin for a cut of the profit (negotiate well).
- Contact Designers, Developers and Website builders look for there portfolios and see if you have a product (theme/plugin) they would need and use, offer to license a such product so they could use for there customers.
and lastly,
Sell on your Own site
Its harder then any other option but you get to keep 100% of the profits so if you market your self the right way you won’t need any of the places listed here 🙂
