Can I run an idea past you guys?

natalie · 2005-10-21, 08:31 PM

I have well over 50 free site templates and was thinking of whether I can sell them. Would anyone be interested? Has anyone ever done this before? Also I have no idea what to charge for them.

MadMax · 2005-10-21, 08:51 PM

You could well be able to sell them, but on behalf of link list owners everywhere......

PLEASE DON'T SELL THEM MORE THAN ONCE!!!

Cleo · 2005-10-21, 08:53 PM

I do still have that huge bottle of change…

Greenguy · 2005-10-21, 09:02 PM

I might be interested, but like you, I have no idea what they'd be worth

HC-Majick · 2005-10-21, 09:02 PM

I can see it now.....I buy them, use them, then resell them to madmax to make my money back, he uses them, sells them.........

Chop Smith · 2005-10-21, 09:17 PM

Natalie, I would like to look at them. Like GG I don't have a clue what they are worth.

Agent · 2005-10-21, 09:18 PM

Natalie has nice free sites too. I have a few listed at my old LL.

MadMax · 2005-10-21, 09:36 PM

Might be a great way for a program to jump into HFS

juggernaut · 2005-10-21, 10:01 PM

Could you maybe take some screen shots and put up one or two examples? This way you dont have to worry about someone taking the code. I know the screenshot can be a dead give away on the layout etc. But just a little something would be nice. Would sure suck to buy something only to findout its like a standard FS template. BTW I would be very interested being my creativity level is like 000000

natalie · 2005-10-21, 10:28 PM

Thanks for the great input and ideas guys. If I decide to I would definitely do a screenshot for each one, there's no way I would expect someone to buy without seeing first. Yeah I don't think they could be sold more than once, even though there would be 2 months worth. I will sleep on the idea a bit and talk to Punani about it.
I am very attached to my freesite templates (3 years of em).. its just we have a bit of a crisis and need some cash fast.
I am about to make freesites again this week, I had a break cos I had a bunch of mainstream stuff to get done.

Tommy · 2005-10-21, 10:33 PM

natalie · 2005-10-21, 10:36 PM

I am sure Tommy was saying a total of $750.

Linkster · 2005-10-22, 12:15 AM

For exclusive use of the templates - guaranteed not to be used or sold again - they would be worth around 1200 to me

Or for one already into HFS, to add more their mix easily.

I was definitely interested.

But then Linkster had to go and tell her what they're really worth.

Seriously though, Natalie, that does sound about right. And we'd be interested somewhere near there too.

Simon

Greenguy · 2005-10-22, 10:48 AM

Seeing as so many of us are interested, maybe sell them in lots of 10?

natalie · 2005-10-22, 05:45 PM

I have been given so many ideas from this... one is maybe I should do a site selling them (and perhaps new ones) individually. Because the part I always loved the most out of making free sites was doing new templates, when I stopped that and started reusing them I was bored shitless.
I am going to think on it for the weekend. Thank you all so much for your generous feedback

plateman · 2005-10-22, 06:11 PM

I wonder what my templates are worth now ?

Chop Smith · 2005-10-22, 06:24 PM

Best I can figure, free site templates built for exclusive use and unique in design would be worth between $24 and $50. IMO, say Natalie puts hers on a site and sells them individually with non-exclusive use I would say $4 to $10 and the psd files, if any, would have to be included.

tranza · 2005-10-22, 06:45 PM

How many times have you used each template?

tranza · 2005-10-22, 06:46 PM

BTW: I think I'm the only person that uses only 1 template per free site...

natalie · 2005-10-22, 09:35 PM

Probably 1-5.. I think theres more than 50, I have to go through them all. Plus theres different templates and different templates, I know some of the submitters I have THINK their templates are different but are actually far from it.

That is so true. Some people think that just because they changed the background collors or something they have a new template.

Well, let us know when you have a ballpark figure in mind...

susanna · 2005-10-25, 01:40 PM

Last I heard 10.00 per was the going rate BUT that included putting the entire site together (I suppose you can leave out the content optimization/gallery making) including banners for sponsors.

Finally someone asked her the appropriate question...how many times she already used them. Its not exclusive use if she used them already.

Next question...what niches did you use them in? Question merely so that one could say "ok no big deal she has used them in the tranny niche...I do the anal niche" or what ever.

ecchi · 2005-10-25, 04:43 PM

Not certain but I think 10.00 is for non-exclusive. I think I have seen exclusive going for more.
