The Sales Monitor

Just an insight here too guys… I’ve just upload 4 new templates in one week, all 4 in different categories… and still no sales! Checked possible holidays… etc from other countries, but no clue. But it’s possible… it has also something to do with Elements! I also just received Envato Elements marketing email this afternoon. They are pumped up for it too, of course! :frowning:

But it’s good to assume… Envato is doing everything they can for everybody

well…this is an campaign email i got from envato " Say goodbye to multiple one-off purchases and complicated licensing! We keep things easy with no limits and one simple commercial license.
And the best thing? Fresh new items are added daily, so you get more and more value as your library grows—always for the same flat rate. " … at least they could have made it 30 for monthly subs, but in any other case we’re sc#@!#!%

I think I will see a disaster in this month Its first time one of my new project does not get any sales for over a week. I hope it will change on upcoming days.

oh my… tsk tsk

that’s really unusual

Just to be fair… to monitor sales, sales are picking up now.

4 days without sales here … One bad week, let’s hope for a change.:surfing_man:t3:

I had 2 productive days (June 7, 8).

  • some sales + extended licenses.

And now: No sales.

Still no Buyers from Germany, very strange since they have the largest national economy in Europe.

Stupid questions guys (because I have no time searching):

  • How do you get an item to Elements ? Is it Envato’s decision ?
  • Is it worth it ? Are there authors here having sales on elements and can talk about it ?

I am thinking of getting to the dark side for a couple of low selling templates, for testing…

Famous authors trying Elements :
Premiumilk : https://elements.envato.com/flat-animated-story-V5FSB6N
Pixflow too (59$ on Videohive !!!) : https://elements.envato.com/pixity-land-character-animation-explainer-toolkit-V5YUNCQ
MotionMount : https://elements.envato.com/user/MotionMount

Videohive best sellers are now on Elements… thats not great news…
I already had comments asking if my best sellers is coming soon on Elements :confused:

Any Authors here selling on Elements to share there experience ?

Thats about right, but there’s a points system based on the type of item. So you’ll get a lot more for a WordPress template or an After Effects project than you would for a photo, for example.

We have no any statistic yet. So nobody will tell you anything. Wait a month or two.

Interesting things. All items available for month subscription. So if you have popular item that cost more than 29$, there is no any sense to put it on Elements. Fun fact we can’t even delete our items from Elements, something “is broken”, of course :wink:.
So what we have right now. We put items on Elements, think it will be available for annual subscription. Now all templates cost only 29$. We can’t delete our items. And have no any statistic.
Great experience!

That is totally messed up, but a likely measure to stifle a mass exodus.

In the original announcement they forgot to mention a little detail that I’ve discovered only when I received the invitation: all-in for stock footage and motion graphics. So basically my portfolio is worth 29$…I’ll see what’s going on as soon they will generate the earning reports.
So far not so good, 25/30% less than average sale, and the June sales graph seems that it’s giving me a middle finger! haha
