March 2021 ended as March 2020. Not great, not terrible. (In 2019 March was the best month of the year…)

Seems that there is a problem which spread across the whole market.
There are lots of authors complaining about the same issues. All the sales stopped around 8 days ago.
Again. I’d like to ask Envato representatives to look further into it. @BenLeong . Also, please, any authors who can point us in the right direction by tagging the technical supervisors. Guys. We know you do not owe us anything. We, as authors are here by our own volition. But we and our families rely on these sales, especially during these rough times.

It has already become a reality that sales have plummeted. But is there any fault in this Envato? The entire business in the world is bursting at the seams, bankruptcy and discouragement. Envato tries to stay afloat. Whether we like their innovations or not, this will not change the overall picture. These are the hardest times. Hence our discontent. How, for example, can you make the average price of a track at a serious level? Try to sell New Balance sneakers on Ebay and demand from the site that there are no prices below 40 ... Brad, right? How can we demand from Envato certain price limits for the track ??? Each author has the right to set a price for his work. If we define the price framework, then this already borders on antitrust laws, and therefore on the law as such. Let's all admit the annoying topic of dumping. The 5 dumping could have a number of reasons: Average songwriters might think that at 5 they would sell 500 tracks a month and be credited a dollar from each track, but that won't work. All the same, with an increase in sales, the total amount per month will be the same, or even less. But for elite authors, lowering the price to 5 may mean dumping the ballast of the middle peasants (and we are the bulk). Yes, they will bend a little in price per month, but due to the hype of their portfolio, they will still be in big plus. What can not be said about us, ordinary authors. Maybe in a year 70-80 percent of authors will be eliminated in this way. And those who accept their terms of dumping are not able to hold out without money for a year or two. It just makes no sense to upload tracks of 5 and have 1 from sales. It will not be enough to withdraw funds for a month, two, three … And what should they feed their families with? They will be eliminated automatically. Natural selection and screening of competitors.
Unfortunately, the situation in the world with business is such that no one knows what to do. You can constantly exaggerate the topic of dumping, search engines, etc. But do you know how you can fix the general situation? Do you have a panacea and proposals that you think will change the global economy and your sales will grow? I don’t know what to do. But I will not participate in dumping discussions either.

Yes, I forgot. I do not have below $ 8 per track in my portfolio. And then this is Logo or idents.
I was reading the answer from an envato engineer to a concern about the sales drop.
No significant drops in March. I’m a bit speechless.

That means two things. A broad majority of authors are pure delusionals. Serious pathology, nevertheless. The other reason is way beyond my tolerance and is related with humanity and common sense.And i really do not wanna get involved. My 0,68 cents, gents.

Place your bets Gentlemen!))) At the end of March, I raised all prices to 39 bucks. 10 days already without sales. Something tells me that in April they will not be there! Well, an experiment)

Did the same, but to 29 bucks for the most. Will see in April, what happens.

We all know these issues.All of those have been debated zillion of times.Despite the thing i do not quite believe in patterns and apophenia the fact that all the sales stopped almost simultaneously is not a coincidence.

Wretched March is over, April has not begun yet. 3 days of dead silence!!!
Envato where are buyers and sales? Is this a market or cold Antarctica?

Let’s hope it’s just a late spring. I hardly believe in hot summer sales, but there is still hope for a warm thaw)))

Hi @zigro!
When did you see the thaw on Envato (after the introduction of ADP)?
I have already invented a new motto for Envato: “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here” 
This is not an inscription on the gates of hell, this is a new reality on Envato!

0/1 views over all of my tracks since the last 2 days, I just joined a PRO on 31st, updated my Audiojungle account, is this because of joining a PRO? or the market is down?

In my experience PRO membership doesn’t affect sales at all. In fact it might actually help it because 1 - buyers usually aren’t the ones responsible for the royalties, and 2 - they know that a PRO composer is more likely to be reputable and trustworthy

Only 2 sales in March. I was really hoping for a third one to come in but it never happened. Once again, let’s hope for the best this month. Good luck, everyone !
