Title: Are You Broke Because Your Websites Look Bad?
1Are You Broke Because Your Websites Look Bad?
- Written by TryToLearnMore.com
2- Just recently I heard someone asking a question
about the website design and how it influences
income. I think that is an interesting topic,
because I myself tried out many Wordpress themes
on my blogs and witnessed unexpected results
some websites that had a crappy layout and ugly
color combinations were bringing in more money
than those that had premium templates installed.
Of course, this wasnt always the case but it did
make me think
3Does Inner Beauty Count?
- No, Im not going to tell you a story about how
the rich billionaire (Google) fell in love with
an ugly and unattractive - but at the same time
charming princess (website) and how they lived
happily ever after. You have to understand that
inner beauty ( content, inbound links, outbound
links, etc.) and a great look always go together.
4Does Inner Beauty Count?
- If you ask a heterosexual guy whether he wants to
marry a girl who is charming, smart and
sophisticated, he will, probably, say hell yes!
But what if the girl is ugly? Then I guess a lot
of male folks would rather stay single.
5Ugliness Deceives And Makes You Money
- If you are an internet marketer, and if you
specialize on making money through Adsense, then
you definitely must have heard about the
Clickbump theme.

7Ugliness Deceives And Makes You Money
- As you can see, the design is crappy, but there
are hundreds and hundreds of people who would
swear on the Bible that this theme made them a
lot of money. This template makes you want to
look at the Adsense ads and click on them and
each click can bring you decent revenue
(depending, of course, on the niche and keywords
youve chosen).
8So, should you just concentrate on ugly (simple)
themes?
- Well, that would not be a really good idea. As
you may already know, blogging is not always
about Adsense or CPA. Some people, including me,
want to write for fun (and profits, of course).
We want to convey a certain message, share our
experiences, teach other people, and thats why
we concentrate on creating quality content.
9So, should you just concentrate on ugly (simple)
themes?
- Cheap mini-websites - whose sole purpose is to
create money - may have nice articles (usually
they dont), but you can instantly feel that they
are soulless. Quality websites make you want to
stay on them forever. - Lets look at the Entrepreneurs Journey blog
10So, should you just concentrate on ugly (simple)
themes?
11So, should you just concentrate on ugly (simple)
themes?
- I really love this website, because the articles
are pure quality, Yaro Starak (the author of this
blog) is a likeable guy, who puts a lot of effort
into building rapport with his readers.
12So, should you just concentrate on ugly (simple)
themes?
- Now in case you think that this blog doesnt make
a lot of money youre wrong! On his blog, Yaro
sells his products he collects email addresses
to promote other peoples products, which brings
him a lot of dough he sells ad spaces people
pay for the possibility to place one 150x150
banner (there are more than 8 ad spaces
available) on his blog 200 a month, which adds
up to a pretty nice sum of money. - Blogging is similar to journalism and its main
focuses are building rapport and inform people.
13Which Path Should You Choose?
- That is a tough question. After reading Robert
Kiyosaki I realized that it is always great to
have multiple financial assets. Why dont you
build a lot of mini-websites on different topics
(acne, weight loss, how to get pregnant, etc.)
and a huge one on a subject that you like.
14Which Path Should You Choose?
- For your personal blog choose a premium theme,
for example - Studiopress
- Woothemes
- Elegant themes
15Which Path Should You Choose?
- They will make your website look more
professional and trustworthy. Always remember
that your main focus - besides making money is
getting people back to your blog. You cant do
that with an ugly theme.
16So Does The Design Matter?
- Absolutely. As Ive already demonstrated, certain
templates can leave a great impression or make
other people do what you want. - But here is the thing content is king. I know
youve heard this phrase a thousand times before,
but it is true. If you wont produce quality
content, you wont be having any visitors, and it
really wont matter how beautiful your website
looks (even if the design of your blog was
created by Leonardo Da Vinci himself). - Its like in real life. Sure, you may have
beautiful clothes that attract other people, but
if you are a douche or/and have nothing to say,
folks will leave and just forget you.
17Some Last Words
- Before starting a website, make sure you know why
you are doing this. Do you want some quick cash,
do you want to become famous or maybe you want
to earn a steady income by building a business? - If you have the money, get premium themes like
Clickbump for mini-sites, and Studiopress,
Wootheme and Elegant Theme for serious blogs. - And never forget to write quality content!
