Envato Sales Monitor

I think most of us here are selling on Envato, I want to start this topic to have some idea how is going with the sales.

For me, this month is the worst I’ve had since I started Envato. I can barely make 1500$… Last year I made 5000$…

It is so depressing :frowning:

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:

Have you tried doing some self marketing @tibi_diablo ?

Some ideas:

  • Keyword research - google keyword planner is useful to figure out what people are actively searching for
  • Youtube videos targeting those keywords, showcasing your products
  • Blog articles targeting those keywords
  • Wordpress.org free plugin - for me this has brought the most visibility to my plugins and been very helpful.

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.

Hi guys (and girls) whoever may read this.

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.

Last month (July) was the worst in 2025 by far. August is slightly better but also slow. It mirrors past years somewhat due to vacationing I think.

For me, is really bad last year. I made about 4-5k in August, this month 1.5k. I did not have a sale in eight days; it never happened before…

Can you lend me a thousand mate?? :wink: 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.

Not long ago I was making 10k per month… is a total dizaster…

This is my yearly graph. I share it here, to show how things evolved for me.

No comment!

I did not have a sale in eight days is crazy. WTF is happening?

On my part, sales are not great, not terrible.

For me it completely stopped…

My personal “0 sales day record” is 5 days in mid July.

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.

Yes is not good at all. Thank you, MR. Hichame Assi

Oh wow, this is really a sharp drop… In my case, there was a constant downslide over 2 years, now I earn 15-20% of what I earned 2 years ago…
