Wordpress Themes make big business on the internet,
and with customers’ specific demands, a huge amount of suppliers has risen to
promote their own theme.
The big amount of suppliers make for an interesting
market, even with prizes high as $99.-, total revenue will always small, since
competition is strong.
Why is the Theme market organized in this particular
way?
To have a good understanding of how Wordpress themes
are distributed (which is necessary in order to be successful in being an
affiliate for them), you need to understand that the product in itself is a
particular one.
Wordpress themes have low production value, a lot of
time can be put in to building them, but material costs are minimal and they
can be reproduced unlimitedly.
Anyone can create a theme, and many do so. A large
corporation isn’t necessary to build a business creating themes, so constant
sales are not required. This way a lot of small businesses have proven to be
successful by selling a few or even one Theme. When a theme is finished, the
only thing left to do for the creator is to keep it updated, and most
importantly, sold. PPC bidding wars in a
marked crowded with small companies are impossible, the price for a single
click is too high because hundreds of competitors are willing to pay a penny
more for that click.
This is where affiliate marketers come in. They are
safe promoters for the theme sellers, because they are only paid upon a sale.
The high prizes make it possible for affiliate marketers to earn big
commissions.
Wordpress theme sellers and affiliate marketers are
suited for each other.
