Making Money from Theme Hybrid - Three thoughts:
1. Whatever your making money plan is, it has to be painfully simple for it to work properly.
2. There needs to be little or no backwards accountability.
3. The clients need to be able to read in one or two sentences exactly what is happening.
Example:
For the clients:
Get a free theme at themehybrid.com/themes or have one custom made by Hybrid Designers at themehybrid.com/custom. Support for these themes is available at themehybrid.com/support or through your designer.
For the designers:
Become a Hybrid Designer by applying at themehybrid.com/designers. Once approved, you may pay $250 a year to present yourself to clients at themehybrid.com/custom.
For Justin:
If a designer decides to make a quality child theme, add it to your free theme directory.
This way, Justin gets paid, the designers get paid for custom work (not themes, but time), more free child themes are added, and the clients can get free support through the forum, or paid support from the designers. Everybody wins!
