Article by dpcut - September 04, 2009

If your new to web design then sometimes you might have some problems selling your template designs. As I did but after some time I noticed people love a bargain. At that time of the market there was many "Buy 1 Get 1 Free" sales and they were being sold within 4 days. An example is, well I had designed 3 templates in a couple days. And I got them coded for $100. Then listed them on sitepoint.com, 2 days later I sold them for $500. A great deal for 3 templates. I listed them as "Buy 2 get 1 Free" and that is just one simple method to sell your designs. Here are some tips to sell your templates faster, below.

* Include a bonus, such as a free custom icon pack
* Offer free customization.
* Offer free installation.
* Include a free custom logo.
* Offer free custom advertisements.

Now if you need to sell your coded websites, PSD files, or established websites then check out the sites below. I have sold some on almost all of these, the people at each website are trust able most of the time. Forums are the place where I have made the most money. By far the sitepoint marketplace is the most effective.

1. Site Point
Sitepoint is actually where I have had the most success in selling my PSD files, coded templates, and other designs. One very important thing to do is follow the market see what is selling that fastest and create designs to fit that description. As I see currently it is wordpress themes, so if your a designer go make some money!

2. Talk Free Lance
I used to use this website back in the day, I have actually not been designing for a little bit. I did not have to much success with this forum a couple years ago but I was younger. As I said before the most important thing in selling templates is to follow the market, so I sure if you check up on the market at this website you will have some success.

3. Webmaster Talk
I have not used this site for a while either, but back in the day I had some success with it. I'm sure it grew because its been a while since I visited it check it out for yourself.

4. Digital Point
This is actually one of my favorite sites to sell templates, it has a huge amount of traffic so if you do some research on the marketplace then you should most definitely have some success.

5. Your Own Website
With some big effort this can be the most effective way to make money by selling templates. If you are a skilled enough designer and have an amazing home page also amazing designs and services then should most likely make some money. The most important thing is to have promotional techniques. There is a lot of competition out there so you must be dedicated.
