It took me 3 years to get to 300 sales…another 6 months to get to 400! Still not able to make a living from my script sales…but definitely good progress. Here’s my mini retrospective of this new development
Recent lessons learned
-
Invest time and write good scripts - I took 6 months and spent dedicated time writing the dashboard engine used in my ‘HTML5 Dashboard Designer’ and ‘PHP Dashboard’ scripts which are the bulk of my sales.
-
It’s all about saving developer time - if your script provides 10x or 50x developer time value savings, more likely your script will sell.
What I need to get better at
- Web Marketing - still not sure how to web drive traffic to my product listings. I rely 100% on Codecanyon.com’s marketing to drive direct traffic. Ideas from the experts in this area would be much appreciated
My goal
- Ultimately, I want to learn how to make a living as a codecanyon author and phase my freelancing. If anyone has tips for me, I would very much appreciate sharing. Especially from those that have successfully made the transition from hourly worker to author.
Best,
Ninja
Good luck for more sales
