I made 50% less compared to the last month but I wasn’t expecting too much due to holiday season.

It’s not because of holidays or summer vacations, just someone forgot about SEO and Cyber Week Sales .))))) Look at the traffic and everything will become clear.) No traffic, no sales.

Probably SEO is pointing out to Elements right now and the market as we know is slowly ending… :cry:

It is ending from 2020, maybe earlier for some )))) What’s interesting is that my sales ranking even improved a bit on CodeCanyon despite such a drop in traffic ))))

@BenLeong Suddenly stopped our product sales. Our Last Sale: Your last sale was $39 10 days ago. Can you give your advice to increase sales?

I really don’t know what you guys are still doing here?
This platform failed when they applied the “bring your own pricing” model and added envato elements on top of that.This was doomed long ago!

agreed!

I agree

The faster anyone moves on better will be for him … policies reflect mindset of top brass and it is clear … I don’t want to write it here in detail as very few can attend critics …

Sad but true, still we don’t have any better alternative !!

(2,515,350/12)*7.5=1,572,093 was expected sales by my calculations earlier and the total sales is so far 75,562,205-74,276,001=1,286,204

1,286,204-1,572,093= NEGATIVE 285,889 With this speed, the total lose of the sale would be 457,422 rather than 440,255 which would go down to ~16% - We will see the things how it’d go after SS change the “design”

I wonder why there is no one in Envato talk to CEO that they should have a good place for New Items? Even a child can see this is the right thing that Marketplace must do. If you don’t have new item. Your Marketplace is too boring and outdate. When they ignored the new items, we can see how the Market go. It’s not late because Envato still lead this Market, and still no competitors. But as the result, we can see sale has been down dramatically. I hope someone can do something. Envato employees, let’s do something. When you help authors, that means you help yourself. Authors make money for your boss and you take your salary. Please do not silent like that. It’s been too long. And you saw the result. I believe you know where the problem is, so please do something

Envato really surprised us with the new elements design!!! With Envato’s policies in converting the market to Elements subscription model, the income of designers is decreasing every day, so that the development of products for the Envato market no longer has any economic justification for designers, and this issue is very worrying and disappointing for us! We are extremely worried and disappointed about the present and the future, and we object to the conversion of the market to a subscription model!

The presence of designers and developers has caused the growth and expansion of Envato, and today Envato is trying to convert the market into a sharing model of elements without considering their benefit, which has caused the loss of their source of income.

Our team, as a small part of Envato Market who works full time for it, is very worried about our future! We have invested in this market to create a reliable source of income and have been working continuously and full-time for 3 years. Even some developers have been working in the market for more than 10 years and have formed their team with 20-30 designers and developers, and Envato, without considering their profit and income, launched the Elements sharing model and It has destroyed their income.

Can you manage your life as a developer and designer with a monthly income of 300-400 dollars? No!

As you can see in the chart, Elements’ subscription model has caused a sharp decrease in the income of developers! On average, a web user yearly buys about 4 WordPress themes and 10 plugins for about $300. However, despite the subscription model of Elements, the user has access to thousands of WordPress templates and plugins by paying only 16 dollars and uses them for himself and his clients’ websites! So all users prefer to buy from Elements subscription model! And as a result, the income of designers and developers will be greatly reduced, and no one with a small income is willing to continue working on this collection!

This issue is also true for other market parts like codes, static templates, video templates etc.

As a result, professional designers and developers will leave the market, and only new people who are willing to work with a small income will be present in the market, and the market will be filled with low-quality products without support!

Why don’t the managers of Envato learn from the chart of sales and income decline in the last 5 years?!!
Why don’t they realize that the Elements’ subscription model has greatly reduced the income of developers and they are angry with this situation?!!
Why don’t they understand that if the developers’ income is not provided, they will leave the market and the market will become a graveyard of old and weak products, and as a result, customers will also leave it?!!

I think they did understand, that’s why probably “Envato” is sold to another company.
You don’t sell your business if you’re still making good money and if it’s still profitable.

PS: Russia blocked access to Elements from the date 11.7.24 - If the users start to request refund for Elements subscription, earnings would be probably going down next month, as well

And… SS come, they continue the old road that make Envato down as today. Who can understand this. I think SS investors do not know this situation. They should replace the current managers, hire the new ones that they can help the business go on the new way. This current way is leading all of us to the hell. This is the new bottle and the old wine. Envato employees, i hope you could do something right, talk to your boss to help him understand the situation. Without the talent author, your marketplace can not success. Give back the old policy that made you success when you just allow the quality products and talented people work im the Marketplace.
