Top 10 places to sell your designs :)
-
As a graphic/web designer, it isn’t easy to find a new home for a design you just made.
I’ve put together a little list of about 10 websites, where you may go and sell your designs for free…..
Often, we end up with a stock pile of designs no one wants…..no point looking into the reasons for that, for – they may vary.
Anyway, instead of discarding them or selling them for cheap on forums as PSD files….why not spend a little more effort, and convert them into themes?
The idea is simple….at the end of the day, you should have a valid XHTML|CSS compliant website/wordpress template you can list for sale (with exclusive rights
) on the following portals.Graphic Leftovers – Sell logos, icons, illustrations, templates and more through this site. Graphic Leftovers pays higher royalties than many comparable sites.
CoSwap – Swap your designs or codes for something else you need, or sell your work outright.
ThemeForest - Sell stock web design templates and earn at least 40% of the sales price. (I recommend this site)
GraphicRiver – Sell vector images, layered Photoshop files and more.
WP Theme Market – Design and sell WordPress Themes.
Clever Andy – See your designs turned into fully-functioning sites and then earn commission on the total sale price.
Templamatic – Upload and sell your own website templates.
CMS Market – Sell templates, extensions and more for Joomla and WordPress (Drupal will be added soon).
Digital Point Buy, Sell or Trade Forum – Sell templates or entire sites on this forum. (A lot of scamming has been happening here lately, but oh well….those are perils we must all deal with)
SitePoint Marketplace – SitePoint is a market place meant for the best designs in my opinion

Well, I’ve been selling on some of those places for quite some time now…and I read about the others.

I think Digital Point does not give you the market value. Others look good.

Well, once in a while one does see a decent sale over at DigitalPoint.
But yes, it is one of the last few places I would go to – to sell my designs.
