Bluelight Template

Bluelight Template

Not so long ago, I was scouring the internet looking for WordPress articles when I came across ThemeForest. This was undoubtedly the greatest accident to happen to me as a freelancer. Launched late last year, ThemeForest allows designers and developers to sell their stock WordPress themes, HTML templates, Joomla, Flash and much more for a commission.  The more you sell, the more percentage of commission you get.  Simple.

Being a freelancer, I’m always looking for a source of passive income.  It’s nice to have money coming in even if you don’t have projects going.  Not only is it convenient, it’s necessary for freelance success.

I had been working on a few html websites just for my own use at the time I found ThemeForest.  Obviously it didn’t take me long to realize I could be making money selling stock html code.  I spent the next two weeks cleaning up code and testing until it was primed for an approval process.  I had planned on getting rejected the first few times, just because I was so new to the site and didn’t know what to expect.  Well I was approved first try and was selling templates within 2 days.

Well, turns out, my Bluelight template has become quite the hot product.  Within two months, Bluelight has climbed in sales to 283 purchases to date, which is currently #3 in HTML sales.  It has also been in the Popular category since upload, holding #1 for 2 weeks straight.  If it sounds like I’m bragging, I AM ;) .

The popularity of the HTML template has also brought forth a Bluelight WordPress theme.  Manage all of your content in style.  Multiple color schemes, a theme options page, project category management and blog functionality.  Not bad for a $25 price tag.  Hell, I’m even using it on my site!

Now at the risk of losing work to a template website, I invite you to visit ThemeForest!
