My BizzThemes platform is shaping up nicely, not as fast as I’d like to, but still at lightning pace. I’m currently very busy with commercial projects so I develop it in the meantime, but I still hope to release it as soon as possible.

This post, however, is dedicated to pricing structure for my bizzthemes – which is pretty hard to define, so here are some of the options I’m still considering:

• Having pay-per-theme pricing + club membership option (monthly subscription)
• Only club membership option (monthly subscription)
• Only pay-per-theme option (one-time fee)
• Only club membership option (yearly subscription)
• Pay-per-theme option (standard support included) + developer support as a bonus

What I came up with so far (click to enlarge)

I’d appreciate your suggestions as well …

Few weeks ago I’ve decided to start my own WordPress Theme Market, where I will sell Professionally designed themes aimed at Small Businesses & Freelancers & WP Developers. From start I’ll offer two amazing themes and kick competitors buts, hopefully.

Initial kick will be submitted by BizzFolio theme which is innovative and useful in every way possible (Top SEO, Very Flexible, Simple enough and most of all Easy to modify).

List of planned unique features:

• jQuery Slider to move portfolio images on front (in circle)
• jQuery Slider to move footer widgets
• Integrated jQuery Contact form
• Flexible Layout – build with hooks
• Custom Portfolio Gallery Template
• Easy Portfolio Management in Admin

To start, by no means I’m writing this down because I’ve succeeded in any ways. I do receive lots of new orders lately but I still don’t consider this as a big success story…. However, I did learn some important lessons from my experience, which I’d like to share with you in this post – proven to work – always!

I’m also writing this down because I really want to tell you the truth that making money online isn’t as easy as ProBlogger sometimes claims. Even though Darren often posts really useful things he still has an urge to guide you to earn serious money with doing almost nothing or simply by learning from him or greedy guy like this prick. That ain’t happening so if you want to earn sth than you need to work and work really hard.

Short but useful advices

• Fail multiple times and learn from your experience
• Don’t stick to bad ideas and explore new grounds
• Don’t sell fog but rather add value to your products / services
• Don’t give up and work really, really hard

Take this as a personal advice or simply ignore this post if improving your working ethics is out of question, hehe =)

Pure Magazine Theme is finished, the only thing remaining now is to find the best owner for it. I’ve decided to auction this theme  because I want to make it more exclusive and of course earn sth from it. You now have opportunity to use it exclusively on your site or sell it forward to wider audience. It will be provided ‘out-of-the-box’ so you may resell it the same day you get it.

Where to bid?

Go through this form and place your bid

Important Links:

Theme Demo

Theme Features

What will winning bidder get?

Full copyrights over theme, which means rights to use for personal purposes or resell theme to wider audience under your own brand.

What happens if nobody bids for it?

I’m in no hurry to sell it and I won’t hesitate to release it free of charge on BizzArtic blog.

Do I need to pay to participate?

NO, payments will be accepted only from winning bidder after auction is over so anyone may participate.

Service agreement (boring stuff):

• Payments will be accepted via PayPal but you may send money through any form of payment PayPal accepts.
• Theme will be sold as GPL licensed theme so winning bidder must also use the same license to resell it.
• Theme will be provided as-is with no guarantee whatsoever (third party plug-in compatibility etc.)
• I will provide 1 hour of development support for customization of theme files for free, other theme customization requests will be charged $19.90/hour.
• If winning bidder does not send payment for theme, it will be released free of charge – bidder will also lose all chances to collaborate with me in future.
• Before theme is sold I have all rights to do whatever I want with it, except providing its code to others.
