Build a better Cutline and rocket your blogging income

Ashley MorganWordPress5 Comments

Cutline, the now ubiquitous wordpress theme by Chris Pearson made a huge impact on the blogosphere soon after it was released to a hungry, theme devouring public.

Marketed as a quick way to double your visitor count it spread quickly though the wordpress community and soon became one of the more popular free themes around. It’s success was due in part to very clever marketing but also as a result of the themes straight out of the box useability.

Cutline brought, and continues to bring, massive traffic to its creator and its current owner.

As I have said before, traffic is money.

With Chris Pearson’s original work now showing its age there is an opportunity for a keen eyed wordpress theme designer to launch a better Cutline.

Get it right and you’ll probably make a fortune.

And, if you’ve recently designed a wordpress theme and think you’ve got it right leave a comment below. I’ll review the best ones and feature them in a forthcoming post.

    Thesis isn’t free! When I last checked it was around $80.

    I make some money fixing these ‘premium’ themes when the authors charge for support. I’m not banging on anyone, but I haven’t seen to many themes out there worth 80 dollars. That a tank of gas here in SC, and maybe not even that. I tell users to find a theme that looks close to the premium they want and hack it.
