Design your way

Thursday, February 19, 2015

Being a web designer involves a lot of passion, creativity and dedication to what you do. Unfortunately, it also involves struggling to find clients when you’re going at it alone.

However, there are marketplaces out there that can make it easier for you to get exposure for your work and increase your revenue easily, like Stamplia.

Stamplia is the first marketplace dedicated to email templates. It was launched back in 2013 and has grown to become one of the biggest marketplaces in the field. Stamplia offers over 200 email templates and has an international community of more than 6,000 members.

Stamplia started of as a place where web designers can showcase their talent and find customers easily and it remains true to its origins. Anyone who can design a unique, eye-catching email template is able to send it to Stamplia. All you have to do is create an account and submit your work.

After that, the team of experts over at Stamplia checks your template in order to be assured that it meets the quality standard that the marketplace promotes. As soon as your template passes their tests it will become visible and available on the Stamplia marketplace.

One of the best things about Stamplia is that it allows web designers to work on their products without the added stress of a client who is impatiently waiting to see the results. You will be able to perfect your designs in your own time and you will no longer have to go through the hassle of hunting down clients.

Stamplia has partnerships with several well-known email providers like MailChimp, SendGrid and Campaign Monitor. The templates collection from Stamplia is also integrated into the Elastic Email website. Through these partnerships, your chance of having your work discovered and purchased increases exponentially.

When you add your email template to the Stamplia marketplace you will be able to earn money every time someone downloads it. This is why it’s a good idea to set the price of your template lower for the marketplace than what you would ask if you were delivering it straight to a client.

When it comes down to money, Stamplia transfers all your earnings straight to your PayPal account within a maximum of 7 working days.

How much would you stand to gain by putting up your work on Stamplia?

Well, the compensation system calculates revenues as a percentage of the sale price of your templates, taking into account the number of sales of a web designer. Compensation can range from 50% to 70% of the sale price, which means that the more templates you upload, the higher your revenue will be. As a bonus, all web designers who upload an email template by the end of March 2015 will get a $50 bounty on each template validated by the Stamplia team.

But Stamplia wouldn’t be as successful a marketplace as it is if it didn’t treat its clients as well as it treats its collaborators. Stamplia offers companies who organize email campaigns the means to turn their emails into something truly impressive. But that’s not all. Clients can also find amazing templates for transactional emails that are guaranteed to create a positive, long-lasting impression on the people receiving them.

We’ve saved the best for last. Stamplia has a special tool called the Stamplia Builder that allows customers to easily manage their email templates.

This tool enables you to drag-and-drop message elements and edit wording on any Stamplia template. And this is good news for designers and developers as well. All they have to do in order to provide a highly flexible and customizable template is to make it compatible with the Stamplia Builder. This way they will no longer need to create different layouts or colour versions. Everything can be done straight from the Stamplia Builder.
