He made $47,000 in September beating the previous record of $42,000.
- RyanKearney 15y agoAnd he only got $29,140 if he was using ThemeForest exclusively. If he was selling themes elsewhere, he only got to keep $11,750 of that $47,000. ThemeForest takes an enormous cut.
- kanwisher 15y agoSales and lead generation is huge, I buy quite a few themes from ThemeForest, you seriously going to hunt around the net to 100 different sites where each author has 10 themes. Marketing has a cost and keeping an audience is very valuable
- RyanKearney 15y agoI've purchased a few themes as well, however every time I've gone to do it I usually contact the author via email first and offer to buy the theme directly from him for 30-40% off. I save money, they get more money, we all win.
- asto 15y agoRather sneaky, that.
- josefresco 15y agoEthically borderline IMHO if you used the marketplace to find the theme first. If you found the author first, and saw they offered themes in a certain market after, it would be more acceptable to contact the author directly. You're essentially cutting out the marketplace from the transaction which damages their business model.
- hopeless 15y agoI do like the use of the word "only" to describe a $29k monthly income! ;-)
- chc 15y agoNo, he got $47k, according to Envato. That was how much he made, not how much he sold. Evidently he sold somewhat more.
- jasonlotito 15y agoNo. He took home $47,000. This was after the cut.
- paulsilver 15y agoSorry, I got the headline wrong and I've now edited it. I went from the article to read a couple of other pages from the links and picked the wrong figure when I came back to submit. Thanks for picking that up.
