You got me looking through the history of weekly top sales, and it made me nostalgic for the old days! Here’s the weekly page just after my first full month on AJ (October, 2009): http://audiojungle.net/page/top_sellers/2009/11/01

The then top selling song, at 7 sales, wouldn’t have even made the cut last week. The point of entry was 2 sales in a week. My favorite is the best selling authors for the month on the right – it took 27 sales to make the list, and Soundroll was untouchable with 213.

Just goes to show how much AudioJungle has grown in a short period of time. What’s it going to be like 2 years from now?

Pre-TimMcMorris days. Now he’s the one dominating.

Way to go man! I’m coming up on 3 months as well!

I’m already in communication with the guy above and another guy who just messaged me without posting a comment on this thread. If you want more information, email me from the text box on my profile page and I’ll send you an email with an attachment of my screenshots for my app and begin conversation about quotes and other details. Mainly, I’m fishing for quotes and more info on your experience in app development right now before I make any decisions. Thank you!

Mobile App Developers, make yourself known! I would love to meet you and collaborate… and make some $$$!

Yea D0BY . That 1st sale is more a landmark than most people realize. It was your most expensive song, too. Just to know that you’ve created something that someone has decided, after looking at all the other options, to invest their money in is a great feeling. Yes, keep those songs coming and keep after a portfolio of wide variety. Well done.

If you’re on twitter and have tweeted about #audiojungle or @envatoaudio, odds are you’ve been RT’d by @FHR_STUDIO who has over 8,300 followers. I know for me, he has given me a lot of exposure on twitter and I’m incredibly grateful! He’s getting what he deserves this month with all the exposure he’s going to receive from his file being featured. Congrats, FHR ! And thank you.

Nothing to worry about. Don’t waste a tag on your name. Whatever you put in the item description is searchable. What I’ve been doing lately is posting variations of “Original music composition by Phil Larson” in each item’s description. Then when you search your name in the search box, those items with your name in the description come up. Once you make the changes, give it a day or two for the changes to set and affect the search results.

Statementer only showed 2 of my 4 sales that came on Leap Day (February 29th). Anyone else experience something similar?

I have more great news! I have a niece that will be born today on my birthday! I will be the favorite uncle by default.

Oh you guys are too kind!! After watching the Oscars last night, I feel like I should give a thank you speech…. How about a story…

Last November, my wife and I got laid off due to financial issues at our church. In fact, our staff fell from 11 full-time staff to 3 in less than a year. Since November, we’ve been reeling from things. After that, I worked with my buddies marketing company in Indianapolis for a week. There, I learned about AudioJungle. I got my first sale on December 12, 2011. I excitedly told my wife. We danced and felt that somehow everything would be okay.

I’ve come to understand that these sites may take a while to get going and luckily we’ve saved well enough prior to being laid off to give the freelance gig a try for a little while. Last Thursday my wife and I sat down to some Chinese food. My wife’s fortune cookie said, “Any rough times are now behind you.” Just then I got an email from “The Envato Team” that made me aware that I was being featured starting Tuesday, February 28. My Birthday. I became aware quickly today that they mean Tuesday, February 28, Melbourne, Australia time! I became featured 8 a.m. Monday, February 27, North American Eastern Time Zone. It helped move my sales from sale number 27 to sale number 28. Tomorrow (my time), I will turn 27 years old.

It’s the staff and the fellow authors on here that make these marketplaces worth-while. They provide the encouragement to keep on keepin’ on.

Keep on keepin’ on!

With much love and gratitude, Phil
