I do not have good data because most of my sales are no longer there - I actively incentivise customers to purchase directly from my shop. But I can confirm the trend does appear to be lower:
I am in the process of building my own store and website. After that, I am planning to do a video tutorial about how to create a WordPress plugin and upload it to WPbay and my website for passive income, which should help.
This is a very good topic idea! I am facing also massive sales drops, I am currently on the road, will detail my journey in upcoming posts, when I get home, in a couple of days.
Look take heart and keep the faith in YOURSELVES - I think it was pretty evident when Envato closed the forums they were moving more towards the Elements “Eat all you can” for $10 mentality.
What I would say to any of you, or any creative person, is do not become disheartened and think the world is ending. It is in YOUR power and control to shape your own destiny, and having other outlets, ways of selling your incredible work to other people is a must.
This forum and website will help you do just that, but we are all friends, and friends support one another with ideas and suggestions.
Can you lend me a thousand mate?? Sorry on a serious note this reflects what is happening all over many platforms. But there will be ups and downs in any marketplace so this is why it is best to SPREAD YOUR WINGS across multiple channels. WP Bay is one of those important sales outlets to use.
Absolutely horrible, I used ot have in the past exceptional here and there 1-2 days without sales, but never eight days also,o just a few emails here and there, these are really bad.
I am glad, though, that WPBAY is starting to feel like the real thing. I have high hopes for the future!
September is a disaster by all measures. At first I thought it was the forums removal affecting SEO ranking, but the forums are still there. Something’s different. Sales are one day on and 5 off.
