@heyhimeshdesign @framer Where exactly? On the marketplace?

[Mandro @MandroDesign]

@tamasbodo @AntonDrukarov @framer @bynneh I think this might be my last free template, but I’m still undecided on whether to publish it as free or paid.

I’ve had a great experience with Framer’s Partner Rewards — it’s one of the best programs they offer. It has its ups and downs, though, since it’s a slow process, but the results are worth it over time. That’s why I stuck to free templates. But now I’m starting to think I should have gone with a mix of free and paid. High-quality customers usually don’t go for free templates, and having a creator page full of only free products doesn’t really reflect a strong brand image.

[Mandro @MandroDesign]

@AntonDrukarov @tamasbodo @framer Yeah, for sure @AntonDrukarov! I’ll be launching paid templates soon. You were actually the first to suggest making Viper a paid one when I released it. That template idea was inspired by the legend himself — @bynneh!

[Mandro @MandroDesign]

@tamasbodo @AntonDrukarov @framer Even publishing my new paid template under my current account doesn’t seem like the best idea, as @tamasbodo mentioned — people already associate me with free templates, haha.

[Mandro @MandroDesign]

@tamasbodo @AntonDrukarov @framer Absolutely! I’m planning to publish new paid templates soon with even higher quality. Thanks so much for the appreciation!

[Mandro @MandroDesign]

@AntonDrukarov @tamasbodo @framer I haven’t published any paid templates yet, but I’ll be launching my first one soon under a new brand, since my current account only features free templates.

@Riteshpx @omarelabd @framer @dub Yes, I believe we will receive a payout from FirstPromoter.

You’re absolutely right! The marketplace is a fantastic source of traffic, but building your own audience is essential for long-term stability. Having control over your growth outside the marketplace ensures you're diversifying and securing your business, just in case of any unexpected changes. Great advice for any creator! ✌️

[Mandro @MandroDesign]

From my experience, the @Framer Marketplace has been far more effective than posting on X. If your template is top-notch, the marketplace brings the right traffic and serious buyers straight to you—just like it does for @bynneh. People hunting for templates are searching the marketplace, not scrolling through X.

[Anatolii Dmitrienko @bynneh]

I took a 3-week break from social media to run an experiment:

How much does posting on X actually drive @framer template sales?

Turns out not much at all.

My Fabrica template generated over $15,000 in just 3.5 weeks without any marketing tweets or posts.

Absolutely incredible results.

While my established X account and website certainly help with credibility, the Framer Marketplace itself drove the vast majority of sales.

It is the real MVP that does all the heavy lifting for you:

- Massive organic reach
- Built-in audience actively looking for quality products
- Equal opportunities for everyone
- Minimal marketing needed if your product is solid

You can focus on creating brilliant templates while they handle the distribution.

This may change when more designers flood the market, but for now, that's the reality.

For template creators, the data is clear: spend your time on product excellence first, marketing second.
