Sales down 70% from 2018 to 2023 !!! Terrible status! What do you think about the future?

Element is just suit for something like image stock, video templates or the things that dont need update and support from author. Great business for both SS and Envato. If they hire me or anyone here. I believe the both of Marketplace will be back and growup soon. Unfortunately, they are hearing the people who just want to have money in short term.

FWDesign right. Cheap works lead to devaluing. Itā€™s fault of the authors who agree to sell their work for pennies or agree to feed their materials to AI for a few dollars.

I tried fighting this, but greed and stupidity always win and Envato bet on thisā€¦

Hi, Please invite top authors to contribute to this thread so maybe we can find a solution.

Since last month, when the new Envato Elements was unveiled and advertised in the header and footer of the market, our sales have decreased by 30% compared to the previous month. If it continues like this, the sales of the market will stop altogether and the income of Elements will be very small and it will not be worth to continue and spend time in Envato. Therefore, we will be forced to leave Envato and find another job, and the business we have worked for for years will be destroyed!

Do you guys really believe that the new logo will change the overall sales? :joy:

No, it is not just a logo! A sticky promotion bar + big advertisement in the footer move users to the Elements for just $14 to access millions of assets!

Maybe working on alternatives instead of sitting down on the sinking boatā€¦?
I also noticed the Marketplaceā€™s decay curve has undergone a notable worsening in the past 30 days (even for August).

A couple of weeks ago I completed an essential step for my business, taking 9 months of development. But I have to wait one more week to announce and officially launch (yes, you are about to see another Power Elite leaving the exclusivity).

If you sell WordPress products, really trust them and want to become real sellers, I could have interesting news (but of course Envato will never let me write here).

Work guys: thereā€™s nothing left for hoping here.

What I donā€™t get it why destroy something that worked and it would have worked for a very long time, this is what I just donā€™t understand.

PM me if you have something for me!

I think we donā€™t have any chance to continue on the Envato anymore! Extremely slow sales and almost nothing for most authors! Envato golden time has been finished a few years ago!
Just look at the recent WordPress themes on the Themeforest. Almost zero sales for a theme that took some months to develop!!!
Unfortunately Envato Market is dead and we have to leave it!
