Seven Proven Business Opportunities for a WordPress Genesis Designer WordPress and Genesis gives a plethora of options to web designers to make some handsome money without looting a bank ;) You need a fair knowledge of WordPress, Genesis and last but not the least, PASSION for starting a business and making money as a WordPress Genesis Designer. There are unlimited opportunities to start generating passive income with your WordPress, Genesis and design skills. And here I am sharing with you seven proven business ideas for designers (that have already been practically implemented by designers). As a WordPress Genesis Designer, you can take those ideas to the new level with your specific skill set to enjoy the commercial benefits. 1.Build client sites Don’t be scared. Genesis covers you up neatly here. There are a lot of Genesis child themes available on various theme marketplaces (including StudioPress — official library of Genesis child themes) which can directly be used for building the client sites. Each theme comes with its own set of installation guide, documentation and demo content. You can purchase the theme that resonates withthe purpose and the requirements stated by your client. You don’t need to be an excellent coder for building the basic sites on Genesis and this earns you some good money too. Start with building the sites for your family and friends. This will give you a good start in establishing yourself as web designer.
2. Collaborate with WordPress Web Developers Not all clients need a basic website and not all clients will be happy with pre-built themes. There are lot of clients who need custom website design. For these kinds of clients, your best bet is to give your best as a designer by building the website template in Photoshop, Sketch, Atomic, etc and outsourcing the task of converting the design into a fully functional website to a professional WordPress Genesis developer. As a WordPress Genesis Designer you can send the proposal to WordPress Genesis developers for collaboration. These collaborations will come in
handy while expanding your design business. You can then focus on what you are good at and let the developer handle rest of the technical / coding stuff. 3. Offer Design Consultation Services Website design is no more just about pages and content. It has a lot to do with user experience and UI / UX design has become a buzzword. This gives you a chance to flourish your business by providing design audit. This involves reviewing the designs of the corporate houses and providing valuable insights with respect to user experience for the site. You will need to be well versed with eye tracking, user behavior patterns, A/B split testing studies, etc. The consultation services are always better in terms of generating revenue without putting in as much time and effort as you need for building and finalizing the designs.
4. Promote your design products Start with offering exquisite design products like PSD templates for websites, mockups, scene generators, graphic elements, infographic templates, etc for free. And when you have a huge collection of freebies, you can start designing premium design products and promote them alongside the free products. By offering free products, you have already built a user base for your goods. You can now start making money by offering premium products and convert your user base into paying customers. I really like the way Creativebooster does it.
5. Sell Ebooks Another idea is to sell the ebooks — your own compilation of design ideas, tips, tricks, workflow, tools. People love to learn from other’s experiences. All you need for turning your ebook into a bestseller is to: First, provide high value content and Second, be particular, specific and thoughtful about the title of the book. Something that resonates with the user and makes him go weak on the knees. Mantra here is to learn from other designer’s success story, like Sacha Greif and Jarrod Drysdale.
6. Start an online course for teaching the finer nuances of design Online courses are in trend. It would not be wrong to say that 2015 was the year of launching and experimenting with online courses. And not to forget, to make money with online courses. There has been a surge of sharing the knowledge online which manifested itself in the form of ebooks, blogs, articles and online courses. As a WordPress Genesis Designer, you have ample of opportunities to teach the fellow designers about your workflow, design tools, art of communicating with customers, art of upselling your services and the like. And you can offer online courses for each of these topics and better yet get creative and share your trade secrets.
7. Earn through your blog This should have been the first one in the list but I have deliberately reserved it for the last. You can make some good money via your own website and blog. It needs time, effort and dedication to continually publish good content on the site. But the benefits of doing this one thing right are manifold. Share your work and tips regarding WordPress, Genesis and design, compile list posts, create content and share the content on various social media networks. All this will help you in establishing the identity of your business and authority of your site online. And once you command popularity online, you can earn through your blog by placing ads and by engaging in affiliate marketing (promote other related products on your blog).
Everyone wants to be in business. And from time to time they need to innovate and come up with ideas to take it to the next level. WordPress Genesis Designer is already a secure business venture, but it is always good to deliver more value and earn more success for your business. So push your limits and stay in business with above ideas.
