You know what, I just assumed the developer license included the ability to use the theme for your clients' sites. That's definitely something I'll need to look into or ask someone at Thesis about. Very good point! @Andy Beard: Thanks for stopping bye Andy! You know what, I just assumed the developer license included the ability to use the theme for your clients’ sites.

Many other developer theme clubs allow you to provide clients with a theme, thus you immediately gain (or don't lose) the value of the redesign.

One was $600 for an e-book. I didn't buy it, but I do know the importance in having QUALITY content for websites. In your post, I liked how you emphasis the importance of design. I think it's extremely crucial, although not the be-all-end-all to selling websites or creating them but it can immediately give your website that added value or push. looking forward to your review of copywriters because I need to find some good writers :) I have talked with a few copywriters myself for some projects, and a few were drastically under-priced or drastically over priced!

They turned a 400 word article around in a day although I had to ask them to rework it as they took the subject in a different direction than I intended. I'll be writing up a review of the service as soon as I get the article back. It seems to be what I was looking for in terms of quality at least.

Getting high quality content for a good price is a major problem for site flippers. Most of the content I've seen from sellers I who guessed were flippers has been generic rubbish that doesn't inform or entertain, or was just badly written. I was hoping you were going to give a good review for Cyber Hub but I guess you're right when you say you get what you pay for. You could always prostitute your values and go PLR :D It’s interesting what you wrote about outsourcing the content, Ben.

However, I'm trying to show the costs that someone just starting out would experience. That's why I really recommend buying the Developer License of the Thesis theme as you can then use it as many times as you want and never have to worry about paying for a theme again. As for what I expect to get out of the site, I really have no idea. It's taking me a bit longer to do than I had hoped since I'm not able to be on the computer as much as I'd like with the surgery stuff. This whole thing really is an experiment as I've never done the shorter sales before. I'm beginning to suspect that the profit will be in either immediate creations and flips (as in a day or two of work) or the longer term sales that I'm more familiar with. However, I'd never know if I didn't try so that's what I'm doing. Either way it should be fairly interesting right?

I guess, the articles are decent but they do need some polishing when they get sent. If you find any other outsourced copywriters, please post them for all of us.

Normally I try to minimise cost as much as possible - especially with blogs because they don't normally sell for too much (as far as I have seen) So its cost you that much to design the site with articles, how much do you believe you will get for the sites?
