Element$$$. (and Envato Studio + other smaller projects)
I would be interested in what percent of Elements earnings is for code actually (cc+tf).
Surely less since this week: I removed all my products since the launch of my new licensing system, locking plugins without a valid market license per domain. In any case its income was so low that wonât be a sensible loss at all.
Audio instead is skyrocketing: money money money (with no maintenance nor support 
)
This month looks like a disaster and over that Envato is running a new âMID YEAR SALEâ. I mean what a joke when themes are already selling at $13 without any SALE/DISCOUNT.

Allowing authors to set price for their items is killing the market I believe. Authors are selling WordPress themes at $13 and when users ask for support they are not helping because you canât sustain a business with a few cents profit on a sale. I strongly believe that there should be some cap for the minimum price. Buyers are loosing trust in the Envato market and Authors are loosing interest to add more items.

I agree that the price for a WordPress theme should be a minimum of 25 USD and a minimum of 12 USD for html templates, because for that purpose we have the discount tools when we want to sell cheaper. Also, there is a detail that the authors of Envato are forgetting: We affiliates are not interested in promoting cheap items, because the commission is very low, that is why themes like Avada that costs 69 USD sells so much, because it is an attractive price to sell as an affiliate and earn 30% commission.

Is impossible to compete with authors setting those prices, but itâs the market.
You/we must work on quality, not quantity.
You are a power elite author with almost 29K licenses, your position is well established to set proper prices and promote quality over those cheap products.
About low incomes, I will be launching a âsolutionâ soon that I already adopted this year. If you might be interested just send me a message, Iâll give you a sneak peek

Donât be mad at Envato, they fed us for years
No Envato #2, the system is totally Envato based to avoid existing the exclusivity!
Itâs something having helped my business so much, I decided to create a dedicated platform for other authors.
Contact me if you want to know more, the platform is ready for any author selling WordPress products!
(I canât share the link here for Envatoâs self-promotion rulesâŚ)

Anyone experienced no sales for the last 4 days? This is really weird and first time in my 10 years here. Analytics says visits are just normal to items

We also have drop in sales and think about become non-exclusive author.
Well⌠keyword: REGULARITY 
(but at least better than the summer desertâŚ)
Same boat here!
This month is the worst experienced in 8 years. I earned what I was usually earning in a week.
Since 2022 I am experiencing a constant drop in sales and earnings in both Codecanyon and Elements markets.
Iâm thinking to remove the exclusivity too.

I donât think opting out o exclusivity will be a good move. I know many other authors doing the same in the past and now they are no where on Envato or on their own store
Who knows what is happening but I am confident it will get better.
I donât think that this is connected with one another, that kind of developers couldnât stand the competition.
Anyway, dunno if you guys brought bad luck, but had no sales in the past 55 hours 
The problem is this: huge gapes between sales. Maybe I have 3/4 sales, then zero for 12/24hrs. Three weeks ago I had a super week though: double incomes compared to the mid-terrible ones I had in the end of September.
A relevant percentage of my sales are from existing customers and from italian customers trusting an italian author like me. I think is not a mistery that nowadays Envato doesnât give a damn about the Marketplace: then no new visitors/customers.
Damn⌠they still didnât implement the âWordPress 6.3 compatibilityâ option after TWO months!!! 
If I wouldnât have created my licenses manager platform, most probably I had left the Envato exclusivity one year ago. However, sooner or later, I think we will have to stand on our feets guysâŚ

No luck here as well. No sale in last 6 days . This is crazy
We have reported this for weeks and still it doesnât show in the item description area, also the WooCommerceâ 8.x is missing. Itâs a shame, they donât even care for things that take them 2 min to do.
