Damn...

Definitely one of the best feelings as a @framer @dubdotco creator 🔥

My two biggest commissions this month so far, both thanks to my Zenox template!

Keep creating guys, you never know which template might take off💪

@princepxdesign @framer I experienced this too. After discussing it with Framer, it looks like the reports are triggered automatically by their spam detection system, rather than being submitted manually by users

[Zayden Brooks @zaydenkvs]

Kinda agree, though we’re also competing with a flood of AI slop templates, and buyers might not always spot the difference. Makes it harder for good work to stand out, but I’m still optimistic about where the Framer market is heading.

Is the @framer template market really dying?

Taking some time this weekend to look back at how things have changed in the Framer ecosystem, especially after seeing some big creators leave the game. Just my two cents based on what I've been seeing lately. Could be wrong, but here's how I see it.

I used to see a lot of creators sharing their template sales, but lately it's mostly commission screenshots. And it's not just my timeline anymore. Some pretty established creators have openly shared how much their sales have dropped, and a few have even left the game.

The more I think about it, the more I feel like the template business isn't dead. The game is just changing.

Buyer behavior is changing too. AI can build websites now, and there are tons of great free templates out there. So why would someone pay for one? The customer journey is getting more complicated, and just making a good-looking template probably isn't enough anymore.

I'm starting to think free templates could be the next big opportunity, especially as commissions become a bigger part of the business. Instead of just selling templates to existing Framer users, creators now have a reason to bring completely new users into the ecosystem. We're basically doing user acquisition for Framer lol.

Before, at least from what I've seen, paid template sales felt like a bigger win for creators. Sure, Framer could get new subscribers and creators could earn commissions from those too, but that didn't seem to happen very often.

Now, with free templates, we're actually bringing new users into the ecosystem. And that feels like a much better win-win for both sides.

And honestly, I think this is where Framer could step up too. More marketing resources, real acquisition case studies, better materials for creators, maybe even courses on distribution, marketing and user acquisition. Would love to hear what @jornvandijk and @jurrehoutkamp think about this. Are there any plans to help creators get better at bringing new users into the ecosystem?

Of course, the easy days of uploading a template, posting it a few times and hoping for sales might be over. Creators probably need to think more like marketers now, not just designers.

But Framer is still pretty small compared to WordPress, Webflow, etc. So I'm still bullish on its future. There's still plenty of room to grow, especially if we can reach people who haven't even heard of Framer yet.

Idk, I don't think the opportunity is gone. It's just moving somewhere else.

What do you guys think?

[Zayden Brooks @zaydenkvs]

@artemiydesign @dubdotco Hope November treats you better bro!

[Zayden Brooks @zaydenkvs]

@bybellarizp @Matthias_Oel That's actually really impressive for your first month! Curious, where did most of your sales outside the Marketplace come from? X, your own website, or other channels?

[Zayden Brooks @zaydenkvs]

@eduard_designs @framer @dubdotco Thanks man! I couldn't believe it either haha. At first I actually thought the $244.50 was a sale, not a commission 😂

Just grab it and start building!

[Zayden Brooks @zaydenkvs]

@julian_kalume @designbydeke @framer Don’t give up yet bro. Got this yesterday, one of quite a few this month🤝

[Zayden Brooks @zaydenkvs]

@designbydeke @framer The same thing happened to mine too, I think it’s pretty normal when switching from paid to free or vice versa, try promoting it again and give it some time. You only changed it a day or two ago right? Sick template btw🔥

[Kanvas @kanvasteam]

Lewius just crossed 1,000+ remixes on Framer✨

Still one of our favorite templates for designers, creative studios, and anyone looking for a more editorial portfolio experience.

If you missed it the first time, take a look ↓

@_CalMorris We found that the Remix button on our Lewius template bypasses its https://t.co/u1NH485uFX and goes directly to the remix URL, so referrals aren’t being tracked in Dub. Other free templates we checked all go through https://t.co/u1NH485uFX correctly.

[Zayden Brooks @zaydenkvs]

@_CalMorris Thanks! Could you kindly help me check this problem?

I see my template Lewius have some conversions, but it didn't show on Dub, tried to reach support but there was no response :((

Hi @framer Creators, noticed something strange with our Framer Marketplace template, Lewius (published on Sep 6th)

It has 730+ users who remixed it, but https://t.co/PFIHKgI0QT shows almost ZERO clicks in the last 30 days (the current clicks are only our own tests).

Has anyone seen this before?

If you have a minute, could you try remixing Lewius and let me know? I’d like to check whether the referral link is being tracked correctly.

Would really appreciate the help 🙏
