WordPress market:
Free solutions
• Plugins – extend standard WordPress blog to any other site: online store, community, rentals, listing/directory, etc.
• Themes – change the design of WordPress, they look like site template that is ready to use just “out of the box”.
Paid solutions
• Plugins for specific business requirements (average $50-$100)
• Full-featured themes with advanced settings and customer support (average $50-$70)
• Custom solutions (about $10-$25/working hour)

The main platform for selling WordPress products is ThemeForest (https://themeforest.net, actually a monopolist)

One theme sold on ThemeForest brings developers an average of $ 100,000 a year (2,000 product downloads per year). Top authors get about $ 1 million (20,000 downloads per year).

WordPress reservation systems and themes

Booking themes on ThemeForest are in constant demand (on average, 2000 product downloads per year). At the same time, the creation of each new theme for the author is associated with a large cost for programming the reservation system. They create a separate system for each new theme for: hotels, hostels, travel agencies, cars, events, rent of sports goods, etc. Most ThemeForest authors cannot afford the development of a reservation system, they are engaged in the creation of a modern design and use ready-made plugins for the functional part of the product.

The competition in booking themes on ThemeForest is noticeably less than in other segments

Clients' pain: absence of affordable and high-quality platform for
rapid booking site development for Small and Medium Businesses (hostels, mini-hotels, co-workings, etc.)

Existing solutions either
* Very Expensive
* Incomplete or rigid
* Too simple
* Based on legacy e-commerce platform - very hard to customize and Support

Our Book Everything is the first plugin that allows you to make a website for rental/reservation of any objects with different rules for calculating rent (by days, nights, events) and even manage these objects on one site. One free solution for all types of booking sites.

Based on it, we sell plugins for accepting PayPal, Stripe, etc. payments ($ 49), backoffice plugin ($ 89), themes ($ 59 - $ 69).

The main strategy: entering the partnership (50% / 50%) with the authors fr om ThemeForest, wh ere we provide BA Book Everything tweaking for their design, license the inclusion of payment gateways in the theme package (cost separately $ 49), provide technical support for all user questions to the booking system, our code updates and bug fixes.

The number of potential partner-authors of ThemeForest is about 4000.

Estimation of the number of partners that can be obtained from direct sales statistics: 40.

Expected income from 1 partner per 1 theme: about $ 50,000 - $ 75,000 per year.

* Freemium (simple theme for free, payment gateway Distribution:
and back-end plugin - paid)
* Income fr om direct sales and paid services
(customisation/support/etc.)

The main strategy: entering the partnership (50% / 50%) with the authors from ThemeForest, wh ere we provide BA Book Everything tweaking for their design, license the inclusion of payment gateways in the theme package (cost separately $ 49), provide technical support for all user questions to the booking system, our code updates and bug fixes.

As partnership program develops, we need more resources for business development and distribution. Currently founders handle programming and design functions as well as negotiations and support

At least 1 programmer (part time to full time) to be hired to extend negotiations with others and provide customization and support.

Founders will do sales and scaling instead.

We consider 3% to 10% share offer at this stage, with minimum check of USD 7000

ThemeForest.Net is a closed marketplace with severe and concise moderation on both UX/UI and Features level. For any new independent developer is very hard to fit those (often informal) requirements.

So our distribution and sales severely depend on join ventures with existing successful authors from ThemeForest.Net. Though our first experience and sale estimate show this risk is not so serious.
