Who says you can’t charge $100… $1,000… if that is what you think your design is worth? You know your design rocks and it is way better than the dribble that passes for a $20 theme with no quality, no style, and no hope of success. Who says that you must be trapped into exclusive relationships? Why can’t you determine your own fate? Why can’t you choose when and where you sell your work and how you make a living?
