@Slav-Media Thank you for your motivating words and support!
This is due to great competition. But development does not always happen evenly. Sometimes (when you work a lot) you seem to stand still for a while, and then a sharp rise up. Good luck!

Yes, it is, but unfortunately I do not see a growth in sales. Growth was the first six months here, and then there was a decline or stagnation in one place.
Thanks for the feedback!
I think you shouldn’t give up! Really nice results for just one year to just throw it all to hell and shut the account! Sometimes things just run out of control, there’s little we can do. But it’s only temporarily, for sure. Try not to overthink this, things will pick up eventually )

Thank you @PhreaSpirit ! I’m very glad that you took the time to leave your a comment! I saw what you wrote in the " monitor 2", at the same time remove old, unnecessary and bad and not very successful tracks. How do you think what period should pass from the moment the track is downloaded to its worthlessness (to understand that this track will never be bought)? And another small question if you delete the tracks of these stale tracks, is there an influx of sales? I mean higher the coefficient (the ratio of the number of tracks to the number of sales) does it affect sales growth? Or is the coefficient irrelevant?
Based on my experience, if nobody bought an item during the first month, it is not a good item (for this particular stock at least). For example, items that didnt generate a single sale in a first month also had no sales for more than half a year! So, i deleted them without any regrets.
There were rare exceptions - somebody bought a 2 year old item and gave it a 5 star rating. But 1 sale in 2 years is not that exciting It kinda proves my theory that more or less successful items usually generate sales straight away.
Overall, i think that the older an item, the less sales it generates. And by deleting such items you won’t do any damage to your sales, just make a portfolio a little cleaner.
Anyways, it is just my opinion, and i delete items mostly because i dont like them anymore or because they are too different to the rest of portfolio. Some authors reported a top licence for an old rusty track, so it’s up to you to decide! If you’re proud of your item, even if there are no sales, why delete it? Hope it helps)

I listened to your advice and removed some old tracks that did did not score a single sale in a year. I think that it makes no sense to keep a “dead weight”.

Removing our outdated tracks and low to no sale tracks is one way to go in my opinion, to clean and open up room for our best tracks because even if we have really great tracks but with no views there is no chance to sell. This will always happen if there are more uploaded tracks than the need by customers of buying it.
There is a post here about it on “What can save the authors from low sales in the long run?”

Thanks for your reply! Yes, indeed, to save while there is nobody, but in fact, everything is cool here, you can read the article https://envato.com/blog/ten-things-you-might-not-know-about-envato?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=social_fb_envato . There are very very very very many clients here and very very very few sales(for me)

I totally agree, i myself feel much better now, looking at more clean and selected portfolio) Actually i had inspiration after reading this topic here with interesting thoughts and advices: Introducing Active Content
P.S. Not everybody agree of course, but as i said before - its up to authors to decide.

Edited: Thanks for your opinion and surveillances!
I am not 100% for drastic and forced changes in that area. Nobody even knows what Envato may come up with. But few things were really helpful to me in that post (gave me an understanding of what items i should keep/remove, etc.) That’s what i meant to say
All the best!
