In my experience. Usually a week or two, if it got much sales then it can last longer. If not, just hope there are videohive artists that want to use the tracks on their videos. It can give great exposure if many artists use the music on their videohive projects.

Aaah cool tks for the reply! Is there any good way to market to videohive customers or is it more down to luck? Sorry for all the questions but I’m a noob and really wanna learn 
For me, luck indeed. Just make your best track or browse through videohive and create what they need. Never spam message them, because that surely annoy them

I’ve had steady sales for more than 5 years. Writing Library Music in general is more of a investment instead of constant work, at least for me. That’s experience, not whishful thinking.
I’ve blamed changes to the search engine and I think I’m almost right here, altough the changes did come from me, not from Envato. A month ago I’ve updated the description of my top sellers. I think that was what caused that significant drop in sales. It’s not just the title and the tags.
Never change a winning team.

Weird coincidence isn’t it?
I’ve tried to restore the original descriptions as good as I could, hope it will set things back to “normal”. Fingers crossed!

I’m not sure about that… It seems that search engine here is focused 99% on the title… You even get completely different results for “technology corporate” and “corporate technology”, which makes no sense 
I think descriptions matter only if you have something really rare, low-competition and specific like “The Beatles”, and the customer is searching exactly The Beatles. (example in description: This track is inspired by The Beatles). But if there are other tracks titled “The Beatles”, it will show them first because title beats description.

Tags and titles - yes. Indeed, descriptions have no meaning whatsoever (maybe even no one ever reads them). And this is not one author who has little description.

I’m not very lucky with sales lately, I uploaded a good number of tracks during september but still don’t sell better now than when I upload less.
It seems that after my new track goes online, the previous track is forgotten.

I’m very sure the description or a at least some part of it is playing into the search engine. Envato stated that in a thread years ago, please correct me if i’m wrong.
I know this is not just me, producing more work but selling less. Although I’m getting less sales I’m going better in the ranking so I know other people are doing worst than me.
Example where it could matter:
If you search for “Sia”, you’ll find my track on the first page. No tracks are titled Sia, so tracks who have something like sounds like Sia in the description, show up there.
UPDATE: I also have that as a tag, I don’t know if I would even be there without the “Sia” tag, and other tracks also have the same. So, maybe description doesn’t matter much even in this case… 
Anyway, this doesn’t work well for generic/popular titles because there are thousands of them. You won’t rank a lot better for “corporate” if you put corporate in your description. There are thousands of tracks titled corporate with a lot of sales, so it will not make much difference. Descriptions matter, but it’s nothing compared to title+tag.

Search “No sales” and the first result is my profile.

Wow, there’s a surprising number of tracks named ‘Sale’
You can specify in the tags “discount”. It will probably work.

I´m still interested in the seeking /search behavior of customers, who just bought a track from me (or you).
Why did he choose it (listing, price, music fits etc.), what was search criteria (title, tags mood) and did he look at the track page or bought it just from the search list directly into the cart.
Any feedback from your customers existing or any existing threads?
