We need transparency so we can know if they have massively cut our RPD by taking from the pot to pay template designers or if this is due to a drop in sales. It's madness thay we have no clue if they have cut our pay!

I had 125 single sales this month so far, about 120 of them were from same file. Anyone else had something like that?

Canva has always been the most lopsided site for me as far as the majority of the sales come from a few images. Since they went to the all you can eat mystery buffet I only get a few individual sales each month. They are still dominated by a few files.

Revenue continues to fall.

Yes that is I thought also... there has been a dramatical fall of the revenue on Canva... to me Canva earned at least 4x more than Shutterstock or 10x more than Adobe Stock so it's really really hard financially... having 2022 drop month after month... december have been such a loss too... really curious to know what is causing this drop... any Canva representative can answer us?

You can PM Danny on this forum and ask them to respond to this thread. They are usually good about doing it.

That would be good because earnings are nowhere where they used to be.

With the new contributor dashboard roll out, Canva states that the template designers' pool, and the element creators' pool are still separate, so in theory no earnings dilution is occurring this way. That said, I'm also experiencing declining earnings YOY there in line with what others have posted, for the first time after many years. I believe it may be dilution from increase in supply recently, and/or algo changes favouring newer content. The wild card here is their affiliate AI roll out this fall, which also coincided with my first YOY significant monthly earnings decline. While it's great to finally have some analytics, the dashboard is quite vague.Last year's numbers have adjusted several times since going live so am taking these with a grain of salt until it stabilizes, but so far sales volume is > expected, RPI < expected. Curious what others think of the new dash?

I'm not sure I have can see the new dashboard, what I can see is pretty short on information. I'm also pretty sure that is on purpose.

It's under the Element Creator Menu on the left (where you go to upload using their website portal), then select Dashboard from the top 3 tabs. At least that's where it shows up in my view.

The only place I've found to see earnings are at

https://www.canva.com/earnings

It usually takes me a while to figure out how to see that as you need to make sure you have selected the correct "team" first and there aren't any obvious links to it from the login page and I usually only do it once or twice a month.
