Why Dont More Designers Have Their Own Paysites
 

You would think that they would have a heap of the damn things each making money as a supplemental income to the design work they do :2 cents:

because they are morons

Maybe they don't have an interest in managing paysites, at least that's my reason for not owning a paysite.

Paysites are all about content, design is the easy part.

most designers in this business know nothing about creating a site that converts

nothing nada

I can take any high end designed site and turn it into something that doesnt look ll that flash and add readable fuckin text and change the flow of things and turn your signups up by 100%

some people will never learn

The same reason that race car drivers dont fly planes, and carpenters arent electricians .


Do you really need to ask this question??

lay down the pipe

IIRC, isn't FletchXXX opening a paysite?

I do :)

Who said designers always pump out "Flashy" websites?

What I really wonder is why paysite operators do not design. Lensman could make tgp templates on the side and make a fortune with it

Not me on the pipe...i understand why designers dont run paysites...or atleast why most dont. Like my anology above, they dont run paysites because they are designers, not program owners.

concentrate on what you do best

Can you read?

I said "Most"

Time, money, effort...

and not necessarily in that order.

im working on it ... should be ready in about 3 weeks :) :thumbsup

Who said most? I know of about 3-4 designers that focus on Flash-based paysites.

... And who said "flashy" sites don't convert?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

know what happens when designers try to do their own paysites....? Maximum Revenue happens : )

OK, so a designer can fire up photoshop and crank out designs all day long every day.

So where is the high quality exclusive content coming from? Can they make that in photoshop too?

thats what the chicks tell me :Graucho

You're right :thumbsup

Almost every designer I've met are creative types, not business types. They enjoy creating artistic work not running a business.

Hey look... someone finally got it right.

I personally love the business side AND the creative side. Not eveyone can do that, though, for sure.

- EPornClips

HAHAHAHAHHA! Good One!



Quite simply, time and conflict of interest.

Would you open up your business secrets to someone who is actively competing against you?

Yes i do it daily on our resource community and have turned that help into a successful business of its own ;)

me

Amen.

that's like asking, how come more drummers aren't singers?...

Paysites are a lot of work and money . Designers are mostly artist and are unorganised

Some people are artists
Some people are salesmen
With some people
Never the twain shall meet

paysites main thing not in design and content
designer of course can buy content like other people too ;)

thing is in managment and marketing
not all designers have enough skills to generate traffic

Because opening up phostoshop and create a design is totally diffrent than create the design, get the content, manage the site, manage affiliates, update the site, manage payments, etc etc

I am working on it though as I think someone need to expand and look a bit further than photoshop :thumbsup

Btw Bruno is running a paysite and Dickmansdesign

btw I totally dislike the ideas some people have about designers in this threat :2 cents:

I do :)

How many assemply workers at ferrari do you think own and drive a ferrari?

Just because you can make something - dosen't mean you need to own one.

maybe do some 3d or cartoon content ? :1orglaugh

Yo Lee.. hit me up man.. lets get that site of your finished :glugglug

EXACTLY :thumbsup

Mysef I am a designer. I know that sites I do for customers convert. Why? cause they also have good traffic...

Actually I am not a traffic guy, I am an artist. PERIOD.

You can't be excellent at everything anyway :2 cents:

Huh . Paysite design is just :2 cents:
Why programmers don't write own OS ? :1orglaugh

If im asked i do ;)

But it asking the right questions that many webmasters dont understand ;)

Lee
