Title: Envato earnings
Post by: Fruitcocktail on April 04, 2019, 14:42

Has anyone else who sells in elements had a month without a contributor bonus? My account shows no bonus this month and I’m wondering what causes it? Am I below a certain sales threshold?

Because the bonus isn't due until the 15th of the month

I can't understand why you wouldn't have notice that  ???.  That is the day of the month they've used every month.  :)

In the past I’ve received an email that tells me that my earnings have been calculated and I look at the earnings as soon as I receive the email. The contributor bonus has always been included. This is the first time it hasn’t. Which is why I “haven’t noticed”

Thanks for clarifying your original question

I see what you mean I just had the email and there's no bonus!  :o

Just a crappy $13 W.T.F.!

None here either. Not sure what the deal is. Hope it's an error.

Perhaps they forgot to send the email about "exciting news"  ;D

Same here.

How often do you guys upload there?

A voice in the back of my head is telling me I once read somewhere that if you don't contribute enough you don't get the contributor bonus.

But I'm not really sure.

I think I just found it.

Contributor bonus:

This is the process where we calculate the total net amount of all unused subscriptions (i.e. subscribers who download no items during the period) and we then distribute this unallocated subscription amount equally (the bonus) across all authors who have at least 1 published item during that period.

It's possible I didn't have a published item during that period.

It must have been a glitch I just received a second earnings email and now the bonus is back :D

As is mine. Nevertheless I'm glad I found that info. I'll have to make sure I upload something at least once a month.

I got mine now too! I'm glad I wasn't the only one. Thanks every one. I have quite a few items and Elements is my favorite/top platform so I was getting nervous. It must have been a simple glitch. I'm glad that it is now fixed.

Guess the voice in my head was wrong.

Maybe I should stop listening to it.
