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. Itās fault of the authors who agree to sell their work for pennies or agree to feed their materials to AI for a few dollars.

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?

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 Marketplaceās 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: thereās nothing left for hoping here.

I think we donāt 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!

While the Envato Elements banner is everywhere, how do you expect to sell on the market?! Now, all traffic goes to the Elements.
As a user, what do you prefer? Pay $16 to access a million WordPress themes, plugins, codes, templates, videos, images, add-ons, etc., or pay $59 for a single WordPress theme! Itās funny! We do not have any way except to join the Elements and earn a few dollars just for a hobby!
Just look at the advertising banners on the market! You just see Elements!

- Submenu in Top header Bar
- Main & Bold Menu Item

Has anyone seen any response from the Envato team on topics related to this issue thatās affecting us authors? Iāve noticed plenty of threads about trivial matters where the Envato team responds, but not a single response to discussions like this. It really shows how much these corporations value us. Even the thread posted by the CEO about the Shutterstock acquisition was closed, likely to prevent any backlash. Theyāve stopped marketing, and when we ask about sales, they respond with, āWhere did we advertise for sales?ā Whatās the point of paying commission if we have to market our own products?
