I`m wondering if anyone knows how a widget could be made profitable. Most of the ones I`ve seen are free to download with little to no attachment fees. I have an Idea for a widget i would like to create but i don`t know how i could make any money from it. Also I`m looking for any web design/development people who would be interested in collaborating on this widget project.

Whatever service you are thinking of, build a website. You can use subscription model.

Create the Widget as a shortcut for paying customers to get the service/info you are selling.

If you`re looking for people to work on your project.... you may want to check out StartupNation`s Marketplace where you can list your project.  You can also find this SuN spot by locating the `Services` tab under the startupnation logo and then go to `Marketplace Feature your business`.

There are widgets that are for sale out there.  It depends what you widget does.  I just purhcased a paypal widget that allows you to make a membership site.  It allows you to hide articles, catagories from non-subscribers.  It only cost 25.00 but
I am sure they are selling the heck out of it.  Just make sure that if you are selling it, there`s no need to fiddle with code.  It`s easy to install and doesn`t mess with any of the core code.  If you can accomplish this and get enough bloggers talking about how great your new whiz bang widget is, you`ll do good!

By the way if you are looking for beta tester send me an email!

There is always ad revenue.  If you have a widget that doesn`t want to sell make it freeware.  If it becomes popular enough you will at least be able to generate ad revenue from the site it is on.

I have no huge knowledge on widgets. Maybe you can start reading some wordpress training. They are offering so much tips for that.

To make money out of widgets, create a website which will house your widgets. Add some affiliate links and make some of your premium widgets for sale. That way, you'll earn money. .. and too, since you know how to create a widget, why not write a step by step guide on how to make one? That also will give your site a better credibility.
