Title: Envato Marketplaces
Post by: Microbius on June 17, 2009, 06:08

Does anyone sell on these - flashden, graphicriver, themeforest etc.?
They seem to only sell exclusive content, I've heard some good things, what are the returns like?

tell a lie, you can upload nonexclusive content but you get a flat 25%

I haven't tried Graphic River, but the 25% does make it unappealing. Also I think the community has an elite feel similar to what I've always felt at IS. Maybe it's just because I don't know better :) But the 25% is arrogant.

I tried getting on Graphic River they kept rejecting everything so I gave up on it last year.  I may try again but it's difficult and I don't know if I want to put myself through that agony again.

Old thread, but I just looked over the site again. They still have the most poorly written licensing agreement. It doesn't mention logos or branding and seems to gloss over a lot of other things.

I do ok at Graphic River, but the low royalty rate and low prices don't really inspire me to upload more. That plus their unique upload process that takes a bit more time than most leads me to limit my involvement with GR.

My most recent file at GR has 39 sales and has earned me $32.75. It's not the worst rate I've seen but it's not good either.

There are sales there for sure, and thanks to a decent sales volume I do as well there as I do at sites like BigStock. They just leave a lot to be desired when it comes to royalty rates and how much you get per sale because of the low prices.
