back to normal sales since yesterday…had more sales in the last 18hrs than the whole last week!

Until April I used to make more sales in one week than the whole month of May

If they see that this strategy affects sales in a negative way I think they will just remove it!

It doesn’t affect the overall sales. Buyer will purchase the bundle. envato win the same percentage (or even more since probably the bundle rate is 50%)

Authors with items in that category will lose a potential sale each time a bundle is sold.

In the last bundle my sales dropped even If I produce stock footage. You no need to be in the same category to see a decrease in sales, Bundles affect all the items and marketplaces (except of themeforest maybe )

My worst 2 weeks since I work for Envato were the 2 weeks of the Bundle with a decrease of almost 50% in sales. Bundles normally don’t contain footage, which is what I produce, but my sales got seriously affected even if the bundle includes mostly AE template, I don’t wanna imagine what is gonna happen if this will become a routine.

May is horrible so far! Amazingly slow. I hope it will be okay after uploading my new projects.

+1, hope my new project will boost the month to make it look at least normal!

I woudl suggest you to make a small research with Envato search engine. I normally type a couple of tags and sort the files in sales order, so i can get an idea of how many downloads have been made so far. For example if you type “clouds timelapse” you get 1069 downloads and the top 3 most downloaded files got 218, 75, 73 sales…if you type “city timelapse” you get 337 files and top 3 got 227, 189, 132 sales. As you can see there is more competition with “clouds” and less sales compared to “city” with less competition and more volume of sales. In this way i get a rough idea of the situation out there, is not a precise number but at least you can get some market statistics. Have fun!

Thanks for the reply.

As far as I am concerned now, clouds = ukulele (in music).

true, but still sell quite a lot!

It is best to put all these formats: HDR, EXR and jpg. Definitely You have to put hdr format, without it, 360 panorama is inefficient in any 3D program.

Thanks for your reply! I’ve heard that .exr is commonly used in most 3d softwares, you think is not enough? Sorry but i’ve got absolutely no knowledge at all about 3d ...not yet!

thanks again!

very kind and nice idea! Just realized Addeystock is doin the same
