Yes, it is not hard to sell stuff online, I tried to sell my unapproved templates to templatemonster but they want very high quality stuff and they dont buy stuff from designers, I put my all junk templates and design stuff which did not get approved by clients at cashmyfiles.com atleast some hope to sell one day.

Found my way here via the FD forums as well. You’ve given voice to a budding trend; I know of a few micro-stock authors who have branched out on their own as well. I hope to do the same one day but at the moment I’m trying a different tact, selling my wares on as many micro-stock sites I can find . So far I’ve had mixed results but the goal is to ultimately establish a brand and then launch my own site. Your site has proven to be a great resource and I’ve bookmarked it for future reference. Who knows, if enough of us strike out on our own we might end up establishing a marketplace independent of its micro-stock roots.

Here’s wishing you continued success in your endeavor.

Thanks for the compliments and the heads up about the FD link! Hopefully they won’t delete that posting. Yeah just getting started was the hardest part – you kinda just have to jump into without thinking about how hard it’s gonna be. It’s definitely worth it. Best of luck with your endeavors.

Hey,

Someone posted a link on the FD forums, where I am an author. Congratulations on getting this solo effort up and running. It’s an emormous amount of work, to do by yourself. Kudos. I’m definitely interested in following in your footsteps, as I too share your feelings about pricing and other Flash Den failings. This will be a great resource when I finally take the plunge. I wish you all the best with your sales.

( btw Nice Templates!)

Too bad you can’t say about your sales, I have just launched my own website as well to sell flash sources : http://www.graphic-flash-sources.com. And I wonder how it will do. And i really wonder how you are doing.

@j000

FlashDen doesn’t really allow you to sell the same products on your own site (they technically do but you are limited to a max of 25% payment rate). Also they don’t allow linking from FlashDen to your own site.

This does basically show how to create a quick, poor man’s version of FlashDen. Showing how to create a site as complex as FlashDen wouldn’t really be possible in a step by step tutorial.

I can’t reveal the exact sales figures publicly but like I’ve said I’ve done much better on my own than on FlashDen.

Honestly I was expecting to see at the end a step by step approach on how to design a site like FlashDen (disappointed!!). Anyhow, your tips are well grasped and will play a role in our quest to have a full fledged online marketing plan and endeavor. I must say I also admire your courage to go solo.

Thanks a lot for the tip, we are thinking to start our own digital goods sites and this article just made it easy for us to start. My questions to you. Why don’t you sell both at your site and FlashDen? that way people will get to know your products and will follow you to your site and make money both ways!!!
