I used to be under the impression that templates were what amateurs used while the real professional, the expert, created everything from scratch.
That was totally wrong. Everything is templated. And if you want to succeed you need to template as many things as you can.
Here are some examples people may not think of that are templates…
New Houses – When a community if built, from a housing developer, many times there are a handful of different designs to choose from, some more expensive than others depending on the size. All the houses in the new development are built following the template and you can customize the template you pick with certain add-ons or upgrades. You can come in to a new development with your own house design and ask them to built it for you.
Cars – When Honda comes out with their new model, everyone buys the same model (template) and customizes it
Restaurant Menu’s – When people go out to eat you get a choice of food you can eat in a restaurant, and everyone picks from the same menu (templates)
You should templatize as much of your business as you can because it increases productivity.
The only thing that you can never increase is time. Everyone always only has 24 hours in a day. That is set in stone. But if you can increase the work you can do in those 24 hours your will increase your revenue.
Templatizing reduces the time needed to complete tasks.
If you want to make 5 websites about different topics but that will earn revenue the same way – use 1 template to create all 5. The time saved will be huge.
Many people worry that their website will look like everyone elses. First off, that’s not true, but you must remember, most people spend their time on other websites, not yours.
Therefore they get used to certain conventions online. If you want to spend your resources re-inventing the wheel and creating everything from scratch so you can be different thinking this will increase revenue, you are wasting your resources.
There are plenty of good templates out there for most things including website designs.
Use em.
