It’s not exactly about trends but please can you add the number of downloads for items. It really helps to understand what items have good sales, It is really important to understand if there is a possibility of having more than $500 for one item. If you want to see some really big and unique templates, show us what projects are on the site that bring a normal amount of money. Give us any motivation. You can see the mood of the creators!
Downloads number is not really important for our metrics, we need loyal subscribers who downloads mostly our own items.
Scenario 1
Subscriber A downloads 1 item from you in one month. 1 download is 15$
Subscriber B downloads 1 item from you and 9 items from 9 different authors. Each author makes 1/10 of 15$ so for 1 download is 1.5$ each.
Scenario 2
Subscriber A downloads 100x one of your item. Again you still make 15$ but 0.15$ per download.
Subscriber B downloads 100x one of your item and 900 items equally from 9 different authors (100 each), again 1/10 each so 1.5$ per author but a lame 0.015$ per download.
See what I mean?
100 downloads could mean 15$ or 1.5$…it depends
Math gets crazy if you want to shrink down the datas with all the scenarios possible!
Basically what we want are only subscribers A, but if you consider the nature of Elements which is free downloads, I don’t see why someone should downloads items from 1 author only.

Thanks all!
@VikramVerma The team working on this is currently focused on the Elements content opportunities dashboard, as the underlying data sources (Market and Elements) are quite different. We may eventually produce something similar for Market, but it will involve a significant amount of new work - it won’t be just a matter of plugging a second data source into the current report.
@ProMotionSquad-1 I can definitely see the value in showing some kind of “top earning opportunities” data, but I think that would need to live in a new report. Both the 60 and 365-day views have the advantage of working with very recent data, particularly when seeing emerging trends from the past 7 days.
Elements earnings have a 33-day delay, due to the way they’re calculated - we need to wait until all subscriptions that began on a specific revenue day have finished, before we can use that to calculate earnings. Incorporating earnings into the current Content Opportunities data would bring the same amount of lag into this report, meaning that you’d lose all visibility of emerging trends.
Without incorporating the earnings data, raw data on downloads isn’t going to be very helpful for addressing that question - the dollar value of each customer download will vary, so it wouldn’t give an accurate representation of what the most valuable search terms are.
It’s a good point, though - I’ll take it to the team, to see what options we have for showing the type of earning potential for different items. That might be something we could include in our regular email and Author Hub content (curating a top list), instead of building out new Dashboard reports for it.

@BenLeong While I understand that Envato says not to add text to most photos, I think the reviewers need to be educated that there are some concepts that need a screen with text or text overlay added. Your own Insights chart shows there are very few results for the frequently searched SEO. (search engine optimization) It is very difficult to convey SEO without adding something to a photo. Go do a search on SEO on other stock sites to see what I mean. Your reviewers rejection of images with appropriate text overlay is hurting your own earnings as those rejected images are being added to other sites and doing very well in sales.

I doubt even envato supports at least for sales on market place any longer… I see a big risk
Why should they see the unlimited downloads highlighted button their…
One more proposition. Can you please show earnings “After tax” by default. Seeing income, half of which goes nowhere causes only tears and no motivation. Thanks

@BenLeong Please, make it possible to choose more than 1 year up to Lifetime period in Item Performance → Item Earnings → Time Frame → Custom

It would be grat to have a Custom Time Frame for the “Show new items only” tab too.
And obviously lifetime earnings x single item.

By the way the new “unlimited downloads” button will drop the market sales into half atleast

Hello. How can I download data from Trends & Insights as csv or other format? Or is it possible to access this data via the Envato API?

Hi @BenLeong I asked about it several time in support as well, asked you here. Can the team please make it possible? I really need to see a lifetime period stats, and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

I have reported that very long time ago.
There was a “lifetime” option but it was limited on last 365 days and I have reported that. Two days after my report - they have removed “lifetime” option. It was easier to remove than to fix it

Hmm, that’s really strange 
I really hope somebody from Envato here will pay attention to our requests
I want the lifetime too.
Performance → Item Earnings → Time Frame → Lifetime
I believe the timeframes on that report were limited due to site performance issues - custom or open-ended timeframes for all item performance data (~50 million items) across all authors (even just the 7.5k on Elements, without adding more users from Market) was enough to cause serious issues for the Author Dashboard.
I can see potential value in longer timeframes, but those reports are currently limited to 365 days to show year-on-year trends, in order to provide more reliable access to that page.

I’ve noticed that the artist’s name is listed first. I believe Envato might be testing something, as the account is only a year old yet already has over 230 tracks, with no information or profile image on AudioJungle.

Hey Shymon! Purehits is not just any “artist” name; it’s basically Envato’s own account so making it to the top of the trending list is just one click away.
