Shouldn't there be a "Top Buyers" page in the Marketplace?

If it weren’t for buyers, Envato wouldn’t have existed. I feel like they should make a page where they would rank top buyers like they for top authors…no? I mean they deserve it.

What do you think?

That’s a good idea actually IMO . The top buyers never get nearly as much attention as the authors. :)

No, some of them might not want to be known, and the real question is: what’s the benefit for the marketplaces of having the a top for the buyers? to be honest I can’t find any reason to do this.

Well, if I an author, I’d be drooling for data about the buyer (since I’m a marketer, and audience motivation, habits, etc., are critical). Envato is such a great resource for me, I’d be cool with authors picking my brain. Might help them create cool things that would benefit me even more.

Just my tuppence.

You’d have an inbox full of emails to the tune of…

Hi Jon, if you have time and it interests you, I suggest getting in touch with Envato Notes editor, Adrian Try, regarding a buyer interview.

We’ve had a couple of these in the past, where buyers answered numerous questions asked by community authors, resulting in great feedback for everyone.

Let me know if you’re interested. Cheers.

First, question about how much useful the already existing “Top Author” list for buyers or authors. The better help we can do to Top Buyers is keeping the downloads page easily manageable and keep license related stuff more legible and flexible. You know, if someone purchases 100s of files, that means they are already busy with their clients/business and probably expecting ease with Downloads page other interactivities.

Since I am an author, I don’t know but is there already a dashboard for buyer-only accounts?

Why should they? we are the authors, they are the customers; they are important but in a very different way.
