Comment on WordPress Social Network Theme by Mark.
Dave, I think the biggest challenge for me to sell your theme on my site is to develop a targeted keyword people would search and I would rank on that would get conversions.
I mean, if I ranked well for “WordPress SEO theme” it would be easy. But there is no way I can rank high for any keywords that could sell your theme. I would have to spend a lot of time developing this with organic links and all.
‘Make money online’ is one of the most competitive niches out there.
I did have a website wordpress-seo.org but gave it up as it had WordPress in it and I did not want to step on anyone’s toes (WordPress).
Therefore, I have the issue of promoting this great theme you have made your labor of love.
It is a theme I personally believe in as I know something about the web and I have done very well using it. But again, there are a lot of other guys swinging out there and to sell it on my site the conversions would not be large.
I have sold a few doing some consulting and in the package. I sell your theme after I get a consult. This is effective. Every time I get a consult I recommend your theme as I can talk people through why it is so good. And it is very good. Would not promote it if it was not the best.
I sell it because, I do not try to sell it. I just believe in it. I know how much is in it and it makes logical sense. It is really a no brainer to use your theme as the code is great, and the flexibility is also. I in good clear conscious can recommend it.
I would like to create a child theme, I would like to do a lot. It could not be my main source of income but a side project. However, I have not yet had an epiphany on how to market the theme.
The closet thing is the consultations. The issue with that is, you know how it is. It is a lot of work. I want to provide the best support and it takes time.
So I come back to square one. Just thinking out load, how can I promote this great theme of yours?
I am not asking for my own selfish reason, but I think this is the fundamental issues with getting the theme to be more widely used. You have an excellent product and personal customer support. But how the heck can I market this better, short of creating a website WP-SEO-Themes-or-something.com
Yes, I know I am repetitive something is my thinking, and questions to you, but this is the way I make breakthroughs. I keep probing the question from slightly different angles.
