Is it relevant to make money on themeforest in 2015 and how to do it right?

Question

Freelance

Hello!
1) People somehow make money on themeforest, I even read that a lot. Is it relevant to develop this topic now, because there are millions of works, fierce competition.
2) As I understand it, the most profitable is ready-made WordPress themes, right?
3) Is it possible to hire designers for a one-time payment, make up / make themes from their designs and put them up for sale? What about copyright?
Thank you!

Answer 1

Why read, go to themeforest and just offhand look at 2 top topics and a couple of landing pages and something fresh within a few months, look at the number of sales, cost and publication time, take a calculator and count.
According to my observations, I will say that the most income from 1 product is from a ready-made WordPress theme, less from magento. But the little things short-term is not bad raise. For example, from the landing page above on the screen in time 3-7 days days and an income of 300+ thousand in 5 months. not everything, of course, shoots, but it obviously pays off as a specialist. Someone even sells buttons and authorization forms 10-30 times for 3-7 bucks. the design in psd is pretty lousy for sale. There are topics, of course, they pay for themselves, but for the most part they don’t, but you can make up and pay off on the made up.
There are people working in teams only for this market. So why not. But in terms of finding those who will do it for you, there will be difficulties .. those who do it at a similar level, I think they have already come to this on their own.
I've seen 1-year-old accounts with 1m$ earned, but there aren't many of them.

Answer 2

1) Yes, it is relevant if the level of your work is at least the same
2) Yes, it seems that most purchases there are more expensive
3) Yes, you can, but let someone who understands jurisprudence answer this question

Answer 3

3) There is an agreement on the alienation of intellectual property rights, if the contractor signs it, then all rights to the design will belong to you, and you can do whatever you want with the design. Usually such works are much more expensive.
There is such a scheme on the same Themforest where you can buy any theme with the possibility of reselling more than 1 time - that is, making money on it. This is called the Extended License. themeforest.net/licenses/standard?license=extended
