Responsive design is increasingly popular, as more individuals seek to enhance their websites for optimal viewing on diverse devices such as iPhones and tablets. This trend has propelled responsive web design into a standard practice, with many opting to employ responsive themes for their WordPress sites or transition existing sites to this adaptable format. Understanding the burgeoning opportunity in this domain, an individual acquired a pertinent site last year to capitalize on the growing demand for WordPress themes, and potentially expand into selling Drupal or Joomla themes, along with opportunities in advertising and affiliate marketing.
The site's financial performance echoes the upward trend in responsive design interest. From earning $659 in affiliate sales revenue in December, the figure rose to $1,754 in January, and projections for February suggest it could surpass $3,000. This anticipated revenue increase has adjusted the three-month average estimate to $1,750, reflecting February's extrapolated earnings rather than historical data that includes December's lower performance. The site is successfully monetized through seven affiliate programs: ThemeForest, Elegant Themes, PageLines, Mojo Themes, Genesis Theme, Thesis Theme, and WP Engine.
Currently, the site holds the top rank for "responsive themes" and features prominently within the top ten for terms like "responsive WordPress theme(s)", while also attracting traffic through searches for specific theme names. The owner is selling the site to finance a new venture in an entirely different niche.
