Question about having multiple blogs (with sub-administrators) on subdomains using ProfitsTheme.

by DeVill
5 replies
I want to offer blogs to entertainers that include tools (plugins/scripts) to help them calculate&track their sales vs. expenses and keep notes of certain related things, and I also want to offer websites as an advertising/promotional outlet to the clubs where they work. They'd each be able to have their own content (About pages, Contact pages, photo galleries, etc.) on their blog.

I'm considering using Wordpress multisites/subdomains, with the main domain being my company's front end (which is where they would access most of the tools), and the subdomains being where I host the entertainers'/clubs' individual sites (with their promotional content). I would like it all to be on my own domain and hosting account, and completely own everything (respective of their copyrighted works). Preferably, I would control all content management, but with the ability to let them manage their own content as sub-administrators (with me being the overall admin).

If purchasing ProfitsTheme gives me the right to use it on any domain I own, would I be able to use it for my clients' individual blogs, since those would be hosted on subdomains of a domain I own (basically, they're buying a membership to my site for the tools, plus the ability to advertise themselves through my site's subdomains)? If so, is there a particular way to construct this kind of site? If not, do you have any suggestions?

Also, can I do a mobile version of the above website? How?

[I'm especially hoping for (Wordpress expert) Istvan Horvath's and (ProfitsTheme expert) darrenmonroe's advice, but I don't have enough posts to PM them, but I'd appreciate good advice from any other Warriors.)

    I don't know anything about your niche, but I would think that the companies that would pay you top dollar to build their sites would want their own domains. That being the case, build the cost of their themes into what you're charging them.

    hustlinsmoke, I'm trying to get answers from the help desk, but none so far since I haven't yet purchased the theme. I'm VERY interested in purchasing ProfitsTheme. I really like what I've seen and heard about it. I just first need to know the answers to my questions I submitted, so I'll know if ProfitsTheme will fit my business model. If it does, I'll buy now. If it doesn't, I'll buy when I have a new business model to go with it. I can't private message anyone yet due to my post count not being high enough.

    jewin and Mountainw, the types of entertainers and clubs I'm targeting don't typically have their own websites (2 of my prospects do have sites, but they're VERY old/outdated), so I don't expect that they'll be interested in owning & operating their sites themselves, which will factor into my service charge. I also plan to use their brand as their subdomain name (example: theirname.mydomain.com), with the option of them buying their own domain name that just redirects to their subdomain on my site, without my domain name showing (click on theirname.com and it goes to theirname.mydomain.com, but only shows theirname.com in the address bar). I also plan to offer other products/services (not listed in my original post) as part of the whole package. If necessary, I suppose I could do kind of as you suggested and run a separate theme per client and string them all together factoring that into the price, but I'd just prefer to use one theme & one license to run the whole thing (if possible). I'm not a tech and I'm working with a bootstrap budget, so the easier I can make it, and the more likely I can do it all myself for now, the better.

    Thanks, guys.

    Okay, so the help desk said I can't use on ProfitsTheme license on a multisite/multiuser, Wordpress platform. Each client needs their own license/theme.

    I also wanted to know if ProfitsTheme works with Buddypress. The help desk said they haven't tested them together.

    Does anyone have experience using ProfitsTheme and Buddypress together?
