Sales almost stopped from last 4-5 days

Of course, I wouldn’t want to be unfounded and blame anyone… but projects have views and no sales. or maybe there are sales and we just don’t see them…

they most likely cut marketing budget weeks before the sales, to hit it hard when the promotion period starts, but this month is much worse then past Novembers

Did you read the red note in the dashboard?


In the past hour I got a sensible increase in my balance. Maybe you were affected by this too. On the other hand, I got very few sales in the past 10 days, but all linked to my 99$ bundle, then… :money_mouth_face:

Same red notice for me too:

I think is game over guys but I don’t understand the reason why the code market crashed in a few months it makes no sense… I still believe Elements is the cause… and this bad tech period that we are going trough…

And as always we are invisible to the management no comments nothing on this!

In the end, Elements and all these bad management decisions and absolutely zero communication with the authors destroyed Envato as it was not the question is what will I do next, it is a hard one :slight_smile: but I will figure it out I am sure all of here will be ok and move on to something else. because I invested all my career here as most of you did… sad times indeed!

If Elements had not been introduced the marketplace would have been stronger than ever even in this subscription model times

I said many times Envato was not about quantity and numbers but about quality and passion, the management forgot this now is all about the numbers… the result will be the total collapse of this amazing place that offered all of us the freedom to express our selves…

What are these numbers even mean to be honest if you see 100k audio files or 1mil files dose it make any difference?

Hahaha
Already there are no sales and faced a sale reversal just now which was sold on 16 Sep. After 2 months they made it reversal.

Anyone notice a consistent decline in traffic when comparing with past few months ? Or the buys just holding off for the black friday campaign ?

I can see this banner in my dashboard. Now it says it is affected from 10 October. Looks like a few authors are affected by this. However sales are depressing

Bro, what can I say :confused:

The banner is only for Elements it dose not affect the other marketplaces…

Personally, I think is a game over too many mistakes from the management, since Elements appeared their focus was 100% in that direction… they do not listen to the author community at all!

I would like to know what is happening but as usual no answer!

You should never rely on just one place to sell your services.
Websites, Social networks all fetch clients. You only need a good reputation now.

After the yesterday’s big jump, everything is silent in my balance. Therefore the alert I still see could involve me and others (otherwise they have troubles in letting customers to pay for new orders…!)

And actually I’m damn nervous since I am only 40$ far from being a Power Elite author. Envato move your 4ss! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

That warning message is for Elements from what I know… sales are literally a disaster this month, I wonder what is going on…

Hi all. That warning message is shown to everyone with Author (publishing) access to Elements, but it will be displayed on any of the Author-visibile pages that those users can access (Market dashboards, upload tools, etc).

The issue affects dashboard visibility of daily Elements earnings, for days following Oct 10. There’s normally a 33-day delay in new daily Elements earnings being shown, due to the way that subscriber share is calculated: we need to compile all item licensing for a full month, from customers who began their subscription period on that day. Until the issue is resolved, we won’t be able to publish new Elements daily earnings for the following days (Oct 11, 12, etc) - I’ll be posting updates in this thread, for those affected: Elements Author Dashboards: daily earnings data is delayed

Market is not affected by that issue. Sales are relatively slow at the moment, but it’s the week before most of the world’s online marketplaces start their Cyber and Black Friday promotions. These get bigger every year, for us and for other online retailers - but the tradeoff for that is that it’s a major shopping event on the calendar, and customers in many different regions will cut back on spending in order to see what’s available in the big sales and events.

@LCweb Luca! That’s huge news. It looks like that final sale you needed might have come through overnight, because I just had a quick check and it looks like you may be the newest Power Elite on the marketplace… Congratulations!

Yeah surely an awakening I will remember :partying_face:
While I will never understand why there are 24/30 hours of nothing after regular sales periods…!

Thanks for having clarified on the balance problem.

Anybody getting any sales? This month for me is the disastrous one in my 10 years here. No sales at all(won’t count 1-2 in 5 days)
