Let's start:
How to make money with Framer.
This is the best time in history to be a digital creator, a designer and a solopreneur.
Why?
Because we have access to tools and resources to build a business, make money, create the things that we like and also provide value to the online marketplace.
That is why I love Framer and the opportunities that provides to creators. Next, I will share with you the best ways to make money with this no-code tool and how you can diversify you income sources to make more revenue.
Client work
Framer is a no-code development tool. If you know how to use Framer, you become extremely valuable to the marketplace. The reason is that every business, company or product needs a well designed website that creates trust and attracts customers.
Start by using social media to attract clients and build your brand. Pick one or two platforms ( at first ) and then start creating content by sharing your work, building your portfolio and increase reputation in the marketplace. Social media is filled with clients looking for high quality work, so if you positioned yourself as an expert, you can charge higher prices and make more money.
To attract high paying clients, you can also engage and build relationships with people. You can cold DM potential customers, find their pain points and add value to them by building a website that attracts more people to their business and makes them more money. This is why Framer is so powerful because you can design and develop a website from scratch.
The platforms I recommend you to build your brand and start attracting clients are X (twitter), LinkedIn and Contra.
Selling Framer templates
The template market is booming and Framer is a big reason for it because business owners, creators and founders like to launch their ideas fast and without spending thousands of dollars.
Framer offers their users the ability to sell and make extra money with Framer templates. To start selling your templates, apply to become a Framer partner and submit your request.
After becoming a partner, you can start submitting your website templates to the Framer marketplace. The Framer marketplace is a powerful way to increase your sales but I recommend you to post your templates on different places to increase your changes of making sales.
Pro tip: Use your design skills to build your own template store. That way, you can manage all of your products with more flexibility & freedom and have a more professional platform to showcase your work.
Make money by onboarding your clients to Framer
Selling templates is the first advantage of joining the Framer partner program. But, that is no the only way to earn money with Framer. In the beginning of this post we talked about working and designing websites for customers. The beauty is that you can earn by handing the final website to your clients.
How to do it?
Go to firstpromoter.com and create your account. After creating your account, you will be given a unique referral link. This link contains your unique ''Tag'' at the end with your name on it. Example: ?via=miguel50
The next step is to share the remix link of the final project with your client. This is very easy to do:
Click on the Framer menu icon in your project
Go to file >> Copy remix link
Done!
The final step is to add your unique tag to the project remix link before sharing it with the client. By doing this, every time your client upgrades their Framer plan you will receive a affiliate reward for it.
Sharing your referral link on social media
The third way to make money with Framer is very similar to the second one. Remember your unique link on first promoter? by sharing this link on social media and attracting new users to Framer, you will also receive rewards anytime a new user upgrades their plan.
You can leverage your social media and personal brand to share the link and bring more people to the Framer ecosystem. If you already have a strong brand and following, this is a must.
You can also write blog posts on your website or educational content to help users understand how they can start using Framer in their work and business.
As you can see, Framer offers so much opportunity to designers to earn money by doing what they love and creating multiple sources of income.
Start with Framer today, start creating and start earning.
