I just noticed that sales are unusually low this month. What’s happening is that, when the trend of my sales per month is declining, usually the decrease would be somewhere around 20% to 25% max. Since I started in gr, the trend has been this way. But this month (since the increase of the author commisions), my sales haven’t even reached 50% of my last month’s sales. Note that I’m talking about SALES not EARNINGS . My Earnings however is doing ok, because of the commision increase.
I’m just wondering, are there any other author’s experiencing this unusual decrease in sales? Because I was thinking that this might actually be happening to all of us, not just me.

I worked quite hard this month to get a fair few new files up…which are starting to get sales. If it wasn’t for these sales this month would have been really slow..

Your recent items is completely amazing, and I see them coming up on front page everyday. Your productivity is just awesome. I don’t know why but just feel like the sale is somewhat down everyday…

Hopefully only a temporary drop in sales because of prices going up. AudioJungle seems to be doing well and there was a big price increase there!
Hi draftbeer80
Yes… i´m also experiencing an unusual decrease in my sales!!! The reason… i don´t know… maybe could be the big competition on graphicriver… 
Regards
Sales also down compared to last month,
thought it was ‘coz I’ve not uploaded any new items for a while

Not for me. Sales are pretty damn awesome, BUT I am getting a few sales from every single item, rather than having a single (or two) item(s) that get plenty of sales. So there’s no ‘popular files’ area for me this week 
Still, earnings are very fulfilling with the 50% rates increase.
