We’ve been throwing around some ideas about how to make the Author Interviews more interesting. One great suggestion is to allow the community to ask some questions. After all, you guys know each other much better than I do! 
So here we go. The next author to be interviewed is Jeff Oakley (JeffOakley), who’s on ActiveDen, GraphicRiver, and soon ThemeForest. If you have some questions you’d love him to answer for the interview, please write them below. I’ll get Jeff to drop in and answer them.
Thanks!

Hi Jeff, how are you? About a year ago, your entire marketplace profile was rebranded. What key factors influenced your decision, and what significant impact, over these last 12 months, would you say it had on your sales and all-around marketing strategy? Any plans for 2012?

“Having items on Graphicriver, Activeden and soon Themeforest demonstrates the use of 3 completely different disciplines, something which surely must have taken a long time and dedication to learn.
How did you come to learn each of these very different skills?”
