What is the real income from sales of design templates and website themes?

Question

Design

Hello.
Does anyone have experience or insight? Is it worth bothering at all, or are there only “penny”? There are thoughts to launch a business project in this area.
I would be grateful for any opinions.

Answer 1

The surest way to find out is to go to an average author's profile, look at their number of purchases, and subtract the average amount of each of their templates, and multiply the price by the number of purchases.
As far as I know, there are illustrators who receive 20k rubles on stocks, and there are those who receive 200k rubles, and there are those who have no profit at all. It's the same with templates on themeforest or other sites. It all depends on whether your product will take off among the selected audience or not.

Answer 2

To make templates for sites like themeforest, you will have to "get confused" very seriously. Because the requirements for work there are very high, and in order for the template to get on the site, you will have to work painstakingly and cleanly. and then how lucky.

Answer 3

I have a photographer/designer friend. He bought a second apartment while working at photo stocks. I don’t know what part of his income is design, but the fact that you can earn a lot on stocks is a fact. It's just a matter of how good you are.
