Envato

Envato Market is a collection of themed marketplaces where creatives can buy and sell digital assets. It includes ThemeForest (website themes), CodeCanyon (scripts and plugins), VideoHive (stock footage), and AudioJungle (music and sound effects). It is the go-to destination for web developers and designers looking for high-quality resources.

Creators ("Authors") can upload their digital products and earn a commission on every sale. Envato has a massive global audience, ensuring that high-quality items can generate significant passive income for years. It is a legitimate and essential ecosystem for the creative economy, having paid out over a billion dollars to its community.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. specific exclusivity rates?

Yes, Envato offers higher commission rates to authors who sell their items exclusively on the Envato platform. Exclusive authors earn between 50% and 70% of the sale price, while non-exclusive authors earn a flat fee, typically much lower.

2. How do I get paid?

Envato processes monthly payouts to authors via PayPal, Payoneer, or SWIFT bank transfer. You must reach a minimum earnings threshold (usually $50) before a payout is triggered at the end of the month.

3. What can I sell?

You can sell a wide variety of digital assets including WordPress themes, HTML templates, stock music, video effects templates, 3D models, and graphic design assets. Each marketplace (e.g., ThemeForest, AudioJungle) has its own submission guidelines.

4. Is there a review process?

Yes, every item uploaded to Envato is manually reviewed by their quality assurance team. The standards are high; items must meet technical quality, aesthetic standards, and functionality requirements before they are approved for sale.

5. specific support requirement?

Authors can choose whether or not to support their items. If you choose to offer support (which allows you to charge a higher price), you are obligated to answer customer questions and fix bugs for a specific period (usually 6 months).
