We’re at the mercy of international economic fluctuations, seasonal fluctuations, trends & needs fluctuations, plus many other ever-morphing factors, in my opinion.
That said, I’m guilty of trying to decipher logical patterns too, sometimes, but I’m not even sure if it’s of any help. Too many influential aspects to analyze for my poor little brain.
A big ++ to this. With the introduction of Elements, uniqueness/quality are likely to be the most important attributes for the type of buyers that AudioJungle is going to need to survive as a market place.
If you so believe in the “capped sales” theory, why not run a little test?
Take one of your items that you know has a reasonable position in a particular search.
Have a friend “try” to buy the item. Or have them buy it, if they have a legitimate use for it.
Unless your item somehow becomes invisible, or if they are unable to complete the purchase for any reason during the process, and this test can be run on multiple items with similar results, then maybe just maybe you’re on to something.
Yep, guilty of that too. Sometimes I feel all it does is make me change my mind on how to approach the market about 5 times a day since there’s too much info to adjust to lol. Still going to do it though, just out of some obsessive need to try and understand it all, even if it is hopeless
Here is now new year holidays will hold its all normalized. Now, now Valentine’s day will be held and sales will return. Now summer vacation will end and all will be well…
This is my graph so far. To give some weight to Marbury’s Theory, I also had a down after the 7th. Not absolutely dead, but close enough. Then, a nice unexpected peak has revived my hopes. From which I soon started to fall down. I wouldn’t be surprised to hit the floor soon and experiment a «Zero Sales» day.
That said, I have decided to stay calm this time and leave all my «failed strategist» predictions behind. Time has always been more accurate than me, anyway. So, I bow down and will let him choose the outcome this month. Maybe also this whole year. And the next. And so on. I feel free! Good luck!
it’s been exactly 1 week when I had my last sale. Still no signs of life for me. Feels good I’m not the only one having this problem here. I hope it will change. I still think when it comes to stock audio, aj is the best and luckiest marketplace for me. Other places I know really suck and have zero visibility. Sales will return soon, good luck to everyone !
Yeah I’ve been non-exclusive for about 6 weeks now and uploaded a ton onto other sites… Now sure that isn’t long enough to judge properly but Envatos so called main competitor feels about a 1000 miles behind in terms of community vibe and sales… the whole site just feels ‘empty’ for me. Thanks to the uncertainty around elements and the review times often getting very long on here I feel forced into being non-exclusive atm though.
