I will also become silent shorty, working on next item.

lier, you always say that but yet, here we are

No, this time I will hide sufficiently long enough to make KingDog to take a fresh breath

To complete things, I just spent some time looking the bundle content. It is actually around $590 worth of items while it advertises $500+. I guess even if the next bundle have $650 worth items still advertising $500+ no one will complain. What is the benefit of that for Envato? here it is:

- More value added so high number of sales.
- The more the ratio goes, Envato’s share stays normal and individual author’s share goes lower.

For example take the earning of $50 item contributor with 10000 sales:
$500 bundle: 20 * 10000 * 0.5 (50/500) = $10000
$590 bundle: 20 * 10000 * 0.5 (50/590) = $8475

However in both the cases, only the authors share goes down but Envato’s share isn’t affected. Advertising $590 worth of items as $500 just points me how lavish/careless the approaches are. The carelessness is what causes ignoring the stability of regular new item’s sale.

@KingDog, Now breath, bye!

Come on back, VF, because even though the author share amount is affected negatively, the number of author involvement is affected positively. So, obviously there is a trade-off. Considering the nature of these marketplaces and my personal preferences, I’m all for collaboration and involving more people in the process.

I’ve come to really appreciate ThemeForest authors and believe they deserve this kind of money. Think of the extra work that’s ahead of them – all the support they need to provide for their thousands of new customers… I okay with sticking with the audio game.

Could it also be strategic in helping to launch Microlancer? Therefore, in the end, it will provide more traffic to Microlancer and more work for the Microlancer authors?

Ryan is a gentleman and a scholar… Really, with his non-exclusive account, he passed up 1,000 a long time ago. This guy is doing great work and has always been an encouraging one to email with. Congrats, Ryan!

...is this real life?

Also, thanks for updating, pixelentity! I have it as a tiny window on the upper-right of my monitor. Love seeing it auto-update. Small detail: it still says “Mobile Bundle.” You’re the best!

just updated the link but we need somebody to provide us exact value of the bundle to fix the math

$10 x count x item / $589 use it. [USE IT NOT 550$]

I calculated $587 total. Can someone verify?

Hey pixelentity, any chance this can be updated to the current Corporate Bundle running?? Pretty, pretty please….? (thank you!!)

If you’re using your personal Facebook page to conduct business, you’ll want to read this!

Guys, I found messages over a year old from potential clients! How did I miss them?

Did you know if you’re not a “friend” of someone who is trying to message you on Facebook, any message they send you does not go in you inbox… it goes in this sort of pseudo-inbox that is easy to miss (cuz it’s not in bold) called, “Other.” (Really? They couldn’t have called it anything else? Other. No one ever sees “Other” and thinks, ‘Oh, this might be important!’)

Here’s what I’m talking about:

In this “Other,” I had 93 unread messages. I found a couple of messages asking for my audio services… over a year old. And I still have about 80 more messages to look through…

So here I go. Some apologizing to these potential clients is in order and perhaps I’ll make some money from these after all!

Here’s the article in the Facebook help center explaining “Other” – http://www.facebook.com/help/188872764494245

Hope this helps those who had missed “Other” like myself.

Good luck, Freelancers!

Phil
