I build the best free WordPress themes ever.
Hey! Your site came up on my Google Now feed! Your themes look great :). I left the tab open so I could think about replacing my theme with this:
https://colorlib.com/wp/template/appru/
Not sure how I got into your feed but I feel honored :)
Thank you for your feedback!
Feel free to use this template. That's what we have made it for
Side question: Have you thought about adding a page builder to your site? That might be a way to make some money from your free templates.
I built a simple page builder a long time ago and never released it. I called it "Template Chopper" - the idea was you could paste in a template, chop it into components, and then visitors could choose a template and build a page from it.
It was pretty difficult to do the "chopping" part. But if you want to go in that direction, I'd be happy to dig up the code for you :)
I think I've seen some paid services to run a page builder with your own templates as well.
That's one of the options I have considered. I don't think I'm ready to pull this off just yet but I will need to monetize this effort sooner or later.
Have already followed you and will likely contact you soon. Thank you so much!

@luckybamboo I checked out your site 10words.io and it got me sucked in - From one product to another and so on.
I have a couple of questions (as I usually do):-
Hot picks are automatically generated from unique clicks from the newsletter/site/browser extension over the past week. I have a slightly custom algorithm to weight clicks based on who clicked it (their engagement, length of subscription, etc)
1100 active subscribers. I get a number of new subscribers per day, but seeing a fair amount of churn (people get burnt out), which is one of the problems I'm thinking about.
Yes, submitters can sponsor a week to get primary placement on the website + guaranteed placement on the big friday newsletter. Also, for a small fee you can skip the queue/pick the day you are featured. These are available for approved projects.
I built my own sending mechanism on top of SES, and I'm still within their free tier. Even if subscribers grow, the sending costs should be quite low. My biggest cost now is heroku+dbs for managing submissions, analytics, etc.
Thanks @luckybamboo for the answers. A couple of suggestions from top of my head -
@luckybamboo Please let me know if you get a chance to look at Integrately and how is the landing page? Is it self-explanatory or any suggestions here?
Hey @sachinjain024 I took a look - and think it's a really clever service, but it took me quite some time to figure out exactly how it works. Tbh I just scrolled right past the MORE ABOUT INTEGRATELY section. It has the content I needed, but did not stand out nearly as much as the other sections, so I went right to them.
My first impression was that you install an integrately script on the site - then you can configure 100+ products using your web dashboard without additional code loading.
Leading with the client-side/chrome extension experience (or depicting it in the header graphic) may help convey exactly how it works.
Once I realized, I liked the product more - but if you didn't ask, I would have bounced before understanding the product fully.
Hope this helps :)
Thanks, @luckybamboo for the honest feedback and this is really helpful. This is actually what I am looking for from Indie Hackers community before actually going to the masses.
You perfectly described the product. I think mentioning client-side/chrome-extension term makes more sense. I will work on it.
I am working on an explainer video that should solve such problems in near future.
