So, while our sales here go down, somewhere else they go up! The U.S. Music Industry Grew 27% During 2021's First Half: Report
Especially this part: "Finally, the RIAA reported a 6.4 percent uptick for sync licensing, which delivered an even $137 million during 2021âs initial half. " Maybe they are talking about some other type of sync licensing, like production libraries and trailer houses, i donât know 
Or maybe this info is not relevant outside US.

Agree. Now we need to create more unique and niche music for extended licenses. But I donât see any steps from Envato that would attract the target audience to such a product. In my opinion, if you want more expensive licenses and more extended licenses to be sold (and more commissions earned), you need to make it easier for target customers to find.
Problems in my opinion:
- All marketing on the main page is designed for cheap purchases, there are no selections or playlists highlighting high-quality and unique âpremiumâ tracks (with a corresponding price).
- The search engine still does not allow you to select the required license and see (and sort by) itâs prices in the search results.
- Authors are still forced to name tracks with the same âtagâ names in order to be found, spawning thousands of identical items among which it is more and more difficult to find what you need.
- Bonus: âChristmasâ track listed all year round in âNew bestsellersâ list howâs that?
Is increasing the number of cheap sales so much more profitable that Envato no longer needs to increase the share of more expensive licenses sold?

True, and i believe this thing is not gonna change soon. For obvious reasons, most of AJ repertoire is based on low priced products, and promoting higher priced items it might be counterproductive from their marketing point of view.
I disagree with that statement.Nobody is forced . Is a deliberate choice of authors who think that naming their products with self descriptive names it will make them more visible by the SEO. I beg to differ. From personal experience. But, that is just my personal experience.
Yes. And somehow, that is the only, right way to revive that market. Of course, this is a David vs Goliath fight, due to the facts that we already agreed to. Front page promotion of low pricing items, market flooded with same corporate inspired epic tunes.! Despite all of things we stumbled upon,staying on the niche side and trying to deliver quality items. I post below the graphic of my sales across last 2 years. I am a member of AJ since 2019 only. 20210920_191012|635x500

That`s because Envato or Audiojungle is not the music business. Not even remotely.

New tracks do not sell well, as is usually the case when you upload a new track and they buy the old one.

Good music, but honestly speaking, there is place for improving your mixes - some of instruments sounds flat, need more careful work with space in sound scene. Few years ago all this track would be sold good, but now competition is hard. You need to have top quality product OR cheap price OR niche content. I believe in quality. P.S. I am talking about your âUpbeat Corporateâ track - which already sold 1 time. P.P.S. This is only one example of how you can see the hope to improve your quality AND sales. P.P.P.S. I also affected by low sales of my new item, something working, something not. Usually it ended with removing track with good potential and placing it elsewhere.
