It’s simple chart pattern called triangle. Every data that you get from crowd of people don’t being random. And it’s absolutely natural that your graph have such a common pattern. Technical Analysis predict not only stocks, but any kind of charts that were made from people behavior data.
Tests like these are easy to spot if you really are serious about faking data. Especially as you have several days to process the data as you wish before you publish it.
And also they deduct an unknown amount of the subscriber share before they spread it across authors. You simply cannot know how much exactly you should have earned even with your tests because even the fees are unknown to us.
Elements Earnings are a whole lot easier to fake and proof against checks as real time data, that is all I’m saying. You simply have to agree with that
Fees are known. Envato takes half. If you get $33 subscription, your item should earn a half of this amount.
But yes, they may fake subscriber share, and we can’t check it.
In any case, reputation worth more than playing and faking reports. It’s not long term strategy. I worry more about subscribes which may download my item one time, but use it in several projects.
We are tired to see posts regarding elements, really tired. I really do not want to see a outsmarting reply
Keep all your smart observations and ideas about elements in above mentioned thread
On topic: : Sales are below average
Envato takes half, but of what? You get half of the net revenue. Net revenue has fees deducted. Unknown fees.
For revenue share calculations, we adjust the subscription revenue received from each subscriber by a set percentage (%) to factor in the overall cost for refunds, chargebacks, affiliate fees and payment processing fees compared to overall gross revenue. This percentage is reviewed periodically.
As an illustrative example, if a subscriber generates $49 gross revenue in a month (excluding transactional taxes) and the cost of refunds and chargebacks in aggregate across all subscribers was say 1% of gross revenue, and the affiliate commissions were say 4%, then net revenue from that subscriber would be $49 x (100% - 1% - 4%) = $49 x 95% = $46.55. We then allocate 50% of this net revenue to authors using subscriber share.
Also, take a look at the thread “Net Revenue Adjustments” in the Elements subforum where they talk about coupons that are deducted from the gross revenue. We don’t know the fees.
Mate its not stock market. Stock market is like a self fullfilling prophecy. Its paterns are fake because everyone applyes those patterns so it moves in those paterns. Everyone whos trading is applying technical analysis paterns thus creating them.
If there is a shop which is selling carrots there will be no paterns on buyer activity except because of week day activity. But its inposible that naturaly people will come buy carrots every other day.
It’s psychology of the crowd, and it doesn’t matter people see charts or not. Big supermarkets predict how many visitors they will have, and what they will buy. And it all with looking just on charts.
Even more. You can’t produce any REALLY random number on your computer. All program languages (and AE expressions, of course) only SIMULATES randomness. And if you create chart with those fake random numbers (you need a lot of them), you will see the same patterns.
To create really random number you need uranium. Even then I don’t think that you will get chart without those patterns. Because they just natural, like Golden Ratio.
I do not have much experience, so far we’ve (videohive users) only got two payments, and the first was just a beta month. Above all these, I just uploaded all the projects now. Anyway, getting started is not bad, I will report next month! Have a nice day!
Good month, can’t complain. I do not like the birthday sale right now because i am not part of it, but who knows. This could drive more customers and sales. You are killing it Envato. Keep up the good work!
