Are You Broke Because Your Websites Look Bad?
  • Written by TryToLearnMore.com

  • 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

Does 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.

4
Does 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.

5
Ugliness 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.

Ugliness 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).

8
So, 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.

9
So, 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

11
So, 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.

12
So, 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.

13
Which 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.

14
Which Path Should You Choose?
  • For your personal blog choose a premium theme,
    for example
  • Studiopress
  • Woothemes
  • Elegant themes

15
Which 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.

16
So 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.

17
Some 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!
