This is the worst month I have had in about 4 years. Continual uploads has not helped at all this year to increase overall sales, just started to use YouTube to promote my audio and now pondering what the rest of the year will bring. I try and try but cannot gain traction and so my options are dwindling fast. I put in the long hours per day for little or no reward and it is getting tougher.

What baffles me is the amount of happy, clappy, whistling, ukulele tracks that get through here, all named âhappyâ and âInspiringâ etc tec to add to the many many thousands already here. That to me is âdeadâ
July is looking to be a WRITE OFF big time.
"you canât just compare sales without knowing what a author does to actually get those sales.
Some put in 8 hours a week and get a few sales a week.
Some put in 8 hours a day and get a few sales per day"
I think this is a good point. Iâm lucky if I can find 8 hours a week to work on tracks so (much as Iâd like to be writing and selling more) itâs probably unreasonable to expect more than a few sales each week. Ignoring short term fluctuations I seem to be on a very gradual but steady upward curve at the moment so it could be worse!
What I am struck by, though, is how many authors with large portfolios are reporting big swings in sales numbers, as Iâd assumed the larger the portfolio the more stable you could expect things to be.

Unfortunately I have tried the big swing, been on the roundabout and I am now looking at the big slide. What a playground this is.

Many of new accounts is still successful with happy, clappy, whistling stuff. My was as well, looking back to level 4-5⌠Now, it seems my stuff is not âhappyâ enough.

Haha, dude, your second most recent track, âHappyâ, is the epitome of the âhappy clappy whistling ukuleleâ track. The truth is, itâs a trend at the moment and it sells, and having âHappyâ in the title helps make it visible in Audiojungleâs search engine. I tend to upload a mixture of music that I like, mixed with the happy clappy tracks for more chance of sales. Yes itâs over-saturated, but if thatâs what people want to buy, thatâs what people are going to make.
Right, i just tried to make it âclassicâ way, with that notorious âsearch-friendlyâ title. The truth is, in my case search engine prefers to show something else than recent happy-clappy tracks. The oldies from 2015-16 is still quite ok btw.
Last week i had 12 salesâŚThis week 1 saleâŚAny explanation?
ALARMING drop in sales since June. Income has halved and no way of making it up in the few days left of July. This is not good enough Envito.

Silent as silence.
Now nothing for 24 hours.
Be positive. You had a sale 24 hrs ago.
Just a thought for everyone with trouble - have you ever considered non-exclusive if you are not already? For me AJ has never been the place that has given best sales. Itâs been definitely ok, constant 80-120 sales / month, but never the best. For me exclusive would have been a bad deal from the start. And Envato doesnât seem to be doing anything to help those who struggle. Having all your eggs in just one basket is quite big a risk.

Or stay exclusive and build a new portfolio for other stock libraries. Itâs always better than complaining and waiting for sales

An exclusive author would lose another 50% income if he would had a 60% share (is it 30 or 35% share right now as a non-excl?).
There is also some other strategic thoughts to do, according the sales-direction priority.
If many non-popular authors would go non-exclusive it would be good on the one hand for this site. At least 20% more revenue by nothing. On the other hand this would allow more food for others. The more food for the âchoosen-fewâ, the more they are fixed to this place.
Filled pocket of system-relevant authors are essentially to hold them i think.
What could that mean in combi with âelementsâ⌠where a sales gives the author how many $ or cent per download? And has the P.R.O implementation something to do with it?
âŚjust a thoughtâŚ
11 days with no sales - hasnât been that bad for a looooong time 
I donât know what to say, things are terrificâŚSeems like competition is big, i can hear many good stuff from new authorsâŚEverybody has a ticket for this trip and itâs all up to us how we gonna use it.
