GraphicRiver is a marketplace for buying and selling graphic assets, such as fonts, illustrations, business card designs, etc.
A few months back, Jakob Greenfeld crunched the numbers on the bestselling GraphicRiver products and shared his data 👈
The #1 product was this PowerPoint template, which has now racked up more than $600,000 in sales since its release in 2015. Seems it’s still selling well despite being last updated in 2017.
GraphicRiver might take as much as a 33% cut of sales, so the template designer(s) would have earned about $400,000 from that one product so far. Or about $57,000 per year 🤑
While the product itself looks impressive, building it was likely the easy part. As with any marketplace, there’s surely a whole hidden optimization game to ensure your product gets lots of exposure.
