templates this is something I wished
I've done for a very long time but I
never had the skill set required to
fully take advantage of it it's one of
my biggest professional regrets what it
involves is selling template projects
websites icon packs animations logos
plugins stock images you name it how
does it work in many ways it is pretty
similar with creating a product the main
difference being that you have at your
disposal massive marketplaces that allow
you to reach tens of thousands of people
and I'll give you a clear example of
what I'm talking about one of the
biggest marketplaces out there is the
umberto Network and here are three
products that I purchased myself and
that have done pretty well both for me
as a customer and for their creators as
well for starters we have the angled
theme a wordpress website template that
sold over 2,000 times at the price of
$59 I won't bore you with the math of
how much the theme creators made even if
they only got 30 percent of the sales
it's still a decent sum for the work
involved then we have the moon tag wah
PowerPoint template with almost 3000
sales at $15 each and then here is the
set of animated icon packs that I use in
the creation of this course itself and
they got close to 3,000 sales as well
and if you go to the in battle Network
you will see for yourself there are
plenty of other successful people and
businesses some even more successful
than the examples I shared and they are
a living testament that this
money-making strategy is a solid one ok
ok so what do you need to start
obviously you need a skill and you need
to be damn good at it and you can start
work on your template be at a back of
icons that you can sell on I can find or
a website template that you can sell on
theme forest or a wordpress plugin that
you can sell on code Canyon almost
anything you can think of as a market so
when can you see results
as soon as you have the product
published you will start to earn money
if however you do some self promoting as
well you will get even more sales or if
you get lucky and the platform you're
selling on decides to promote you then
you might end up with more money than
you ever expected but even if you are
not an overnight success having an
additional income stream is always a
good thing especially since this is as
close to passive income as any money
making method gets so what are the
potential earnings the potential
earnings are millions in fact Envato
periodically makes a blog post with
content authors that generated over
$1,000,000 in sales I stopped counting
at 10 and to quote some data regarding
the sales of the WordPress things here
is how the market looks 50% of all
WordPress themes on ThemeForest have
made at least $1,000 a month 25% have
made at least $2,500 a month
15% made over 5 grand and 5% made over
10 grand a month that's more than the
medium household income almost anywhere
on the planet so where do you start the
first thing you need is to have a skill
to create these templates be it take
photos design in Photoshop program you
name it if you lack that skill just
learn it from sites like ume Skillshare
or Pluralsight then what I recommend you
do is check out some of the marketplaces
to see what sells get ideas and see with
your own eyes the true potential of this
money making method if your skill is
something more niched don't hesitate to
do a Google search for marketplace for X
where X is the template you can create
and now that you know the potential
where you can sell and what you want to
create it's time you get your hands
ready and get to work set a deadline for
when your product will be done also have
intermediary milestones and from
experience I recommend you decide to
make weekly progress as long as you made
some progress even if small
it's a step in the good direction if you
don't do anything for a week it becomes
easier and easier in each following week
to not get any work on that project
instead of achieving it even if it's
later so instead of becoming something
you accomplished it will be nothing more
than a what-if type of thought that will
haunt you forever
the beauty of this method is that almost
anyone could do it even if you have a
job even if you have other
responsibilities it can start out as a
hobby and grow into something that will
allow you to live the dream
now go become the most successful
template creator that ever was good luck
