Paid Layouts
May. 13th, 2009 01:21 amI had some very bad news today so I'm thinking of ways to come up with a little extra money. The list was short but I thought I could give this one a try. The (possible bad) idea: To make a design site where people can buy custom and pre-made layouts. I know full well my designs aren't the greatest so I don't have a lot of faith in this idea working out, but I'll never find out if I don't try.
Do you think people are willing to pay for a layout?
If so, how much do you think is a reasonable amount to charge for a layout (header or header/coding etc.)?
I'm not talking about super professional layouts by the way (am not good enough to make those); but fan related ones for fansites, fanlistings, personal sites and such.
I thought of a name a few years ago for such a project and am tempted to get it.To get more visitors to the site I thought I could perhaps apply at fan-sites.org so it would be listed there. There are 2 downsides to that though: 1. there's already a site listed with almost the same name. 2. they require an add on the page (I hate those). But maybe the people that run fansites over there would visit if it's listed there you know. They only host design sites if you already run a fansite there which I don't. Great. Hmm.. how to get visitors then..
Any thoughts and ideas are very welcome =)
