Exactly the same goal + get featured / featured item.

My goal is to make GR (and maybe later TF) into my main job. Just gotta learn myself PHP then, I suppose 
But it’s a slow process, finding time to create GR items – and thereby increase my earnings enough for that to happen, when I’m also working full time with other graphic jobs.
A rough estimate based on my current items and earnings, tells me I have to have at least 100 items in my portfolio, before it’s a viable full time income. Then I’d be making about 10K a month, based on the average per item I have now.
A goal I’ve reached: Getting featured. Yay!
Getting to top 50 or 10 is not important to me. The income is – would love to make this my main business.

Did you say getting $10K a month? wow, that’s a great goal, I wish you all the success.
I envy themeforest authors who become elite in 2 months time

OFF TOPIC: Getting ‘Featured’ is actually not a goal because it is not something you can achieve based on a certain number or file. It is a sort of random pick.
ON TOPIC: My target someday is to be among GR top 5 and to get the Elite badge. In one month or so, I will get a ‘Gold Paw’. By God’s grace I will also get the Elite badge sometime this year.

Yes, getting 10K a month seems like a nice goal. I’m 15% there 
And yes!! I envy TF authors too. They sell like crazy… that’s why I have to start learning PHP. I can easily design websites (do that already), I’m just not a programmer. But maybe I can be?
