Hey folks! Last month I gave a little report on how VideoHive was doing on their forums and it was really well received, and someone asked for a similar update on AudioJungle … so here I am!
Sales Records
It’s actually a very exciting time for AudioJungle at the moment as we seem to be on a record breaking sales bent! Last month sales jumped a stunning 25% in one month!
This made AudioJungle the fastest growing marketplace in September, comfortably beating out VideoHive (which saw a very, very respectable 18% growth that month).
September was also interesting because it was the first month when AudioJungle surpassed it’s big brother ActiveDen in sales revenue. For those of you who don’t remember, audio used to be a category on ActiveDen way back when. It was the second marketplace we ever launched when we spun the category out from under ActiveDen’s wings. So it’s kind of amazing to see that it’s now larger than the site that housed it all back in the day!
Extended Licenses
One interesting stat that I learned when researching for this post was that sales of Extended Licenses here on AudioJungle have tripled since May!
By comparison regular license sales are up a healthy, but not as large, 50% in the same time period. So Extended Licenses are growing as a proportion of the site. This is really exciting as they are much bigger ticket items and bring in a lot more revenue for authors. It also kinda explains all the people talking about their first EL sale last month!
AudioJungle Authors FTW
Speaking of authors, according to the Top Authors listings, we now have over 2000 Authors with at least 1 sale on AudioJungle! That is a crazily large number of people who’ve had actual sales already!
Last month saw two of our top authors acquire Gold Paws for themselves. It’s just a matter of time before they join Soundroll in the ranks of the Envato Elite group. I’m very excited to see which of the pair (Tim and Ralf) gets there first as they are neck and neck!!
So overall, things seem to be going really, really well over here in the ‘Jungle, at least from the high level overview.
How are you guys finding things? And while I am here, are there any major things we should be working to change or improve? I’ve been wanting to look at licensing soon, what else is happening on AudioJungle?
