I make a different playlist every day. Always depends on what mood i’m in. It’s usually quite an odd mix. this was yesterdays one…

But at the end of the day, a big-name seller like Orman Clark, for example, is gonna sell more copies of a theme than an first-time seller will of an equally-awesome theme, due to the fact that Orman has built up a community around him, via Premium Pixels, Twitter, Dribbble, etc., and more people can find out about his themes.

actually ! He is my idol

If you build a quality theme, buyers will find it.

Yep and i think Orman built the easy-to-use and powerful theme option !

And combine all these things :

Quality theme + Good Marketing + Reputation = More Sales

The man defiinately has some celeb status He does produce some mighty fine work.

winning combination?

I guess a large part of that is marketing. This is true of any product, not just ThemeForest – If you have an amazing product but nobody can find it, it won’t sell well. Conversely, if you have a terrible product, but a history of great products, it might sell well nonetheless. The answer is simply to keep on making great products, build up your reputation, and hope for the best

I agree with ConorDesign .

it depends on your marketing ability, the way you build up your reputation on internet, easy-to-use & customer-friendly product.

That’s what i thought

Completely agree with you both. Just seems very unfair and fickle of end users that if you’re new and haven’t yet built up a following, you’re brilliant designs get ignored.

Fingers crossed my themes will be good enough

“tl;dr A good selling template must be unique + generic. That’s the fine art of crafting a template.”

Love this CMT ! so true.

Thankyou

What i’m trying to get across… not so articulately… Is that there are a lot of very nice designs out there that just don’t seem to sell well. and I don’t understand how that works… if it is designed perfectly and works then why does it not sell on a marketplace as big as themeforest? Whereas others that are not as great, seem to take off and sell far better?

big bang theory! the tune gets stuck in my head all day
