How to sell website templates on marketplaces?

Question

Marketing

Hello. Interested in selling website templates on marketplaces.
I posted my test psd template on several sites, everything is spelled out, indicated - for example, tags on the site, etc., a month has passed and there are a whole 0 sales. I can’t understand what’s wrong.

Maybe the layout design is weak or just psd is not in demand?

Who sells already successfully and who will advise how to get income, I will pay for the consultation.
Thank you all in advance.

Answer 1

my IMHO:
1) psd as a format for website design is dead, figma is simpler, faster and more versatile.
2) more often they buy ready-made templates, and not just a design in psd or figma, that is, a ready-made site with layout, a stretch on the engine and a bunch of settings inside. To make such a template, you need either deep knowledge, or a team of experienced web developers, or from $ 5,000 and invest it correctly.
3) a huge number of already made templates (look at the same teamforest how many there are) makes it difficult to sell to beginners. And why buy a raw template if you can buy any cool one from a well-known team for the same money.
4) the market is full of free "paid" templates, it is enough to pay 500 ross. rub, become a member of some pumped-out null community or clubbing and download paid templates in batches, without viruses and shells. And don't buy anything else.
And psd site designs are generally posted for free in batches.
5) in general, sales of templates are falling, because sites do less, more ready-made marketing channels are available: wildberry, ozone, instagram, tiu, and all sorts of constructors like wix, tilda, etc. Therefore, if earlier there was a vacuum on templates, now there is an overabundance of them with a simultaneous decrease in demand.
