Hello,

Many people ask about how to submit a template to our website. At the moment I usually just buy templates at a fixed fee, or design my own and then make some money from people paying to remove the footer copyright notice (Free templates by Zymic) etc.

I have thought about this new idea which would result in:
  • You submit a template for FREE and we own ALL RIGHTS to the template. It is not your property any more.
  • When submitted, you can specify a price for people who wish to remove the copyright. It would be recommended to be between $7.50-$10, but can be any amount. Each time someone automatically pays for the removal, 100% of the amount will be added to your balance.
  • Although you submitted the design for free, you would be continually making money from copyright removals without any work what so ever.
  • At the end of the month you will be paid 100% of all profits (minus paypal fees). We will not make anything from this.
  • The better the design, the more money you will make.
Would you submit a template for free if this was the case? Do you have any suggestions? Please use the poll.

Hmmm... you could offer different payment options when a template is submitted. That being one of them... maybe another option could be some type of royalty... for every 10 download you get a certain amount of money? There is a risk factor there though. Something with more options. Because everyone loves more than one option smile.gif

you can if you still have ownership of it but i think you'd have to take it down from the other site... because once you give it to zymic... they own it. depending on what jack decides to do.

Colin, no sorry. Once you submit the template and we approve, we own all copyright. You may however list it in a portfolio, but offering if for download... especially without the zymic link backs would be breaking the agreement.

I would actually love to participate in that kind of program where we earn from copyright. I have couple of template that I wouldn't mind submitting.

Btw Jake - I also have account IamShipon1988 on this forum and site, is there anyway you can delete that one and change my login id on this one from TooSikWitIt to IamShipon1988? That account gave me problems with hosting request.

For me it would depend how many people download templates from your site. Can you tell me how many templates are downloaded each day?

this is true as with my hosting TOS..

whatever YOU UPLOAD to MY SERVERS become MY PROPERTY. Its just how it has to work in this new web world. But what ever you link to my servers is not...

But yea i would love to do this as long as in the copyright it said:

I like this idea.

Jack, what are the standards, as far as coding. Like does it have to be CSS/HTML or can we just do a full .psd layout and then they slice it and code it?

you really dont need to know that answer.... the answer you need to know is how well known will my temp be?

Zymic gets hit by all major search engines everyday.... the "hits" zymic gets is crazy enough, there alexa ranking is great and that word of mouth gets farther than you think, if i was going to do this, i would probably only do it either on my site or here.
