Gaining a Solid User Base

2012-01-26T02:40:00.000-08:00

You could build the best WordPress theme in the world, but it won’t matter unless people know about it and use it. One of the smartest things I did when starting my theme business was to release a free theme. It took a while for it to gain traction, but things took off once it got some attention from being featured on other websites. Consumers are willing to download a free theme from the new kid on the block and try it out because hardly any financial risk is involved.
The free theme was unique and easy to use, and people liked it so much that they began requesting a premium (i.e. commercial) version, with more features (the free version had the bare essentials). To this day, the premium version is still one of my best sellers. Consumers like to download the free version to try it out, and then they typically purchase the commercial version. Value is added to the commercial version with support, updates, easier customization and a bundle of exclusive features. Releasing a free theme enabled me to gain momentum and build on a solid user base as I began creating commercial themes, and I’ll return to that strategy in the future to increase sales.

My First Mistake

The first mistake I made when getting started, and one that I still kick myself over, is that I didn’t implement a newsletter opt-in method for users who downloaded my themes. This would have given me a long list of consumers to whom I could market my premium themes, and it would have been extremely valuable when I launched the commercial version of my theme a year later. I’ve now gotten my act together and have a booming mailing list that I email every time I release a new theme, thus generating sales that would otherwise have been lost.

You’ve Got ’Em, Now Keep ’Em

Once I had a solid user base, I found that in order to keep them as returning customers, I had to add value not only to my themes but to my services. When you start a theme business, you’re not just selling themes; you’re also providing support and updates. Some of the top brands make great products and provide excellent support. Think of Apple, MediaTemple and Zappos. Say what you want about these companies, but there’s no denying that their user base is loyal because of both their products and their support and services.
One way to provide great support is simply to be timely with your responses. A customer loves nothing more than being responded to the same day. If you don’t know the answer to their question, at least let them know that you received it and are looking into it. You would think this is common practice, but you’d be amazed at how long some companies take to respond. If you can provide killer support, you’re already one step ahead of a lot of the competition.
Another way to add value is to provide educational resources that teach customers how to get the most out of your products. Some users will be more advanced than others, and they are usually the ones who purchase themes regularly. If you can provide a resource that enables those users to derive extra value from your products, then they will be more likely to stay with you and purchase more of your themes.

Building WordPress Themes You Can Sell

2012-01-26T02:39:00.000-08:00

When I took my first steps into the WordPress theme arena, I didn’t know much about it. I wandered blindly into the business, not knowing whether I was doing things correctly. Over time, through trial and error and making rookie mistakes, I learned some valuable lessons and gained important insights.

To save you from going down the same winding path, I’ll share some of the important takeaways that I’ve learned so far, like how to gain a solid user base, what to include in your themes and, most importantly, what to leave out.

Marquee effect can make by using <marquee>...</marquee> tag . However marquee just work if viewed at Internet explorer, if you looking at Firefox it's bad looking.

The attribute which almost used is:

BGCOLOR="color" → to manage background color of an object (teks, image, ..etc).

DIRECTION="left/right/up/down" → to manage direction of the moving object .

BEHAVIOR="scroll/slide/alternate" → to manage behavior of the moving object .

Scroll → object moving scroll.

Slide → object moving 1 time and then stop.

Alternate → object moving from left to right and then return again.

TITLE='message" → The title or message will emerge when the computer mouse at the marquee object.

SCROLLMOUNT="number" → to manage the speed of marquee, ever greater of number is faster his speed.

SCROLLDELAY="number" → to manage delay time, it's on second.

LOOP="number|-1|infinite" → to manage sum of looping.

WIDTH="number" → to manage width of marquee object, it's on pixel (px) or persen (%).

So that clearer I will show the example :

<marquee align="center" direction="left" height="200" scrollamount="2" width="100%">

this is example of marquee, the text moving from rigt to the left

</marquee>

the result :

this is example of marquee, the text moving from rigt to the left

Change the word "left" with other word what you want, there is : right, up, down.

The example of marquee from behavior :

<marquee align="center" direction="left" height="200" scrollamount="4" width="100%" behavior="alternate">

</marquee>

The result :

The example of marquee of text variation with background color.

</marquee></b></font></div>

The result :

There is differ various from marquee, namely when computer mouse is reside in the marquee area the object will stop and when computer mouse in re-shifting to the other place the object will moving again. To make this effect only adding a few code at the marquee code.

Hi every body ! meet you again at my new tutorial. Several weeks ago, I'm ever posting about How to make a drop down menu at this post. One of my reader ask to me, it's the question :

Hi (Name),

Thanx for the piece of code! Now I have a set of drop down menus on my blog. But I have one query... Is there any way I could have them all of the same width? It kinda looks ugly to have different sizes for each drop down menu... Thanx in advance!

Allright, i will give you an example :

Is there looks ugly for you? don't worry, you can make a drop down menu with same width. Only add a little code, your menu will looks with same width. it's the code :

style="width:200px"

200px is value of width, you can change this number with other value, maybe 150px, 220px, or other value.

Now, i will give you an example. this is my previous code :

<form><select name="menu" onchange="window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'_blank')" size="1">
<option> - Blog Tutorial - </option>

<option value="http://templinfo.blogspot.com/2007/11/strart-to-blogging.html">Start to blogging</option>
<option value="http://templinfo.blogspot.com/2007/11/how-to-settings-your-blog.html">Blog setting</option>
</select></form>

<form><select name="menu" onchange="window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'_blank')" size="1">
<option> - Blogspot Tutorial - </option>

<option value="http://templinfo.blogspot.com/2007/11/strart-to-blogging.html">Start to blogging</option>
<option value="http://templinfo.blogspot.com/2007/11/how-to-settings-your-blog.html">How to seeting </option>
</select></form>

the results :

And this is the code with : style="width:200px" :

<form><select name="menu" onchange="window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'_blank')" size="1" style="width:200px">
<option> - Blog Tutorial - </option>

<option value="http://templinfo.blogspot.com/2007/11/strart-to-blogging.html">Start to blogging</option>
<option value="http://templinfo.blogspot.com/2007/11/how-to-settings-your-blog.html">Blog setting</option>
</select></form>

<form><select name="menu" onchange="window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'_blank')" size="1" style="width:200px">
<option> - Blogspot Tutorial - </option>

<option value="http://templinfo.blogspot.com/2007/11/strart-to-blogging.html">Start to blogging</option>
<option value="http://templinfo.blogspot.com/2007/11/how-to-settings-your-blog.html">How to seeting </option>
</select></form>

the results :

What dou you think about this? looks prety?

Except same width, with style you can manage the other function such as the color of alphabet, background of your menu, and etc.

for example :

style="width:200px;color:#ff0000;background:#B2DDFB"

#ff0000, #B2DDFB is the code of color, you can change this code with your color code.

this is the example of drop down menu with color and background color :

<form><select name="menu" onchange="window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'_blank')" size="1" style="width:200px;color:#ff0000;background:#B2DDFB">
<option> - Blog Tutorial - </option>

<option value="http://templinfo.blogspot.com/2007/11/strart-to-blogging.html" style="width:200px;color:#ff0000;background:#C3F4BD">Start to blogging</option>
<option value="http://templinfo.blogspot.com/2007/11/how-to-settings-your-blog.html" style="width:200px;color:#ff0000;background:#CDDCE7">Blog setting</option>

Boring with Error Message

2012-01-20T01:20:00.000-08:00

Boring with error message "Widget IDs should be unique" ?

Possibly you ever have the pip when doing Edit HTML at your template code always experience of failure with error message like this :

We were unable to save your template.

Please correct the error below, and submit your template again.

More than one widget was found with id: HTML1. Widget IDs should be unique.

Or maybe like this:

We were unable to save your template.

Please correct the error below, and submit your template again.

More than one widget was found with id: Feed1. Widget IDs should be unique.

Error message is same , the different only at ID, that is HTML1 and Feed1. And that is just an example, ID which emerge possibly HTML2, HTML3, HTML4 etc, or possibly also Feed2, Feed3, Feed4 etc. Possibly you will feel to confuse with this error message, because you can't edit your template code. The question possibly emerge that is what do cause can emerge the error message like that? if I may answer possible it be like this : error message emerge because in your template code is have two widgets or more with same ID. Still confuse? I give an example. For example in your template code have widget code be like this :

  <div id='sidebar-wrapper'>

<b:section class='sidebar' id='upsidebar' preferred='yes'>

<b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='' type='HTML'/>

<b:widget id='HTML4' locked='false' title='' type='HTML'/>

<b:widget id='HTML3' locked='false' title='' type='HTML'/>

</b:section>

<b:section class='sidebar' id='sidebar1' preferred='yes'>

<b:widget id='HTML5' locked='false' title='Belajar buat website' type='HTML'/>

<b:widget id=''HTML1' locked='false' title='Free Download' type='HTML'/>

<b:widget id='BlogArchive1' locked='false' title='Arsip Blog' type='BlogArchive'/>

<b:widget id='HTML6' locked='false' title='' type='HTML'/>

<b:widget id='HTML7' locked='false' title='Yang mampir' type='HTML'/>

<b:widget id='HTML8' locked='false' title='Site feed' type='HTML'/>

<b:widget id='HTML9' locked='false' title='' type='HTML'/>

<b:widget id='HTML10' locked='false' title='' type='HTML'/>

</b:section>

At the example above seen two widget codes with the same ID, that is HTML1 (attention the red letter):

 <b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='' type='HTML'/>



<b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='Free Download' type='HTML'/>

If the case such as the example, of course you can't Saving your template code because it will always error. What must be doing if the case like that? you must change one of widget ID with diffrent ID. Example : change HTML1 with HTML15 or other number, but the number must be different with other widget ID.

  <div id='sidebar-wrapper'>

<b:section class='sidebar' id='upsidebar' preferred='yes'>

<b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='' type='HTML'/>

<b:widget id='HTML4' locked='false' title='' type='HTML'/>

<b:widget id='HTML3' locked='false' title='' type='HTML'/>

</b:section>

<b:section class='sidebar' id='sidebar1' preferred='yes'>

<b:widget id='HTML5' locked='false' title='Belajar buat website' type='HTML'/>

<b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='Free Download' type='HTML'/>

<b:widget id='BlogArchive1' locked='false' title='Arsip Blog' type='BlogArchive'/>

<b:widget id='HTML6' locked='false' title='' type='HTML'/>

<b:widget id='HTML7' locked='false' title='Yang mampir' type='HTML'/>

<b:widget id='HTML8' locked='false' title='Site feed' type='HTML'/>

<b:widget id='HTML9' locked='false' title='' type='HTML'/>

<b:widget id='HTML10' locked='false' title='' type='HTML'/>

</b:section>

You just change one of widget ID with different number, example : HTML1 changed with HTML15, for example :

  <div id='sidebar-wrapper'>

<b:section class='sidebar' id='upsidebar' preferred='yes'>

<b:widget id='HTML1' locked='false' title='' type='HTML'/>

<b:widget id='HTML4' locked='false' title='' type='HTML'/>

<b:widget id='HTML3' locked='false' title='' type='HTML'/>

</b:section>

<b:section class='sidebar' id='sidebar1' preferred='yes'>

<b:widget id='HTML5' locked='false' title='Belajar buat website' type='HTML'/>

<b:widget id='HTML15' locked='false' title='Free Download' type='HTML'/>

<b:widget id='BlogArchive1' locked='false' title='Arsip Blog' type='BlogArchive'/>

<b:widget id='HTML6' locked='false' title='' type='HTML'/>

<b:widget id='HTML7' locked='false' title='Yang mampir' type='HTML'/>

<b:widget id='HTML8' locked='false' title='Site feed' type='HTML'/>

<b:widget id='HTML9' locked='false' title='' type='HTML'/>

<b:widget id='HTML10' locked='false' title='' type='HTML'/>

</b:section>

If you had changing your widget ID, click Save Template button. And you will see the error message again.
