Selling Code

Post by greyhoundcode »

Has anyone had any experience selling on the Envato marketplaces like Code Canyon, or BinPress or ComponentSource, anything like that? If so, I'd be interested to know your thoughts. I'm considering selling some components that are limited in appeal - niche market stuff - like specialist add-ons for various CMSs. What I'm basically pondering is - especially for niche items - if the greater exposure offered by these marketplaces compensates for the rates of commission they levy per sale.

I haven't done this as yet - but if i and when i do this, I think i will sell codes independently from my website - and to compensate for lack of exposure - i will try the google adwords route to drive highly specific traffic.

The commission structure at envato is a measly 50% and that too you must sell only through their website.

If you have already experimented on this, do let me know your experiences
