Hi everyone,

Envato celebrated a huge milestone this month, with our global community of creators reaching a combined earnings of $1 billion USD!

More than 81,000 creatives have earned money by selling their creative items and skills with Envato, and 88 of these creative authors have earned more than $1m USD each.

The $1 billion earnings goal has been a guiding light for many of us in recent years, helping us stay focused and providing a strong sense of purpose. The journey of Envato has been paralleled by some incredible stories for our contributors. We’ve heard about Envato enabling families to afford life-saving surgery, to pay for a dream wedding, and to support lifestyles that would not have been possible otherwise.

We gathered some of these community stories into a short video you can watch here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvIaTj99ONY&feature=youtu.be.

Thanks Envato it’s been a good journey

Good for them though I see you didn't mention yourself in that grouping.

Let us not forget how Envato shafted contributors over the "contributor bonus" in 2019 after encouraging everyone to sign up to elements with a profit share and once they got their hand on the images, the same bonus is now next to impossible to achieve because good old envato changed the rules to suit them and their pet producers

Well to be fair, if they did shaft contributors, it was when they first introduced the bonus scheme... when a contributor making $5000 on Elements, would get the same bonus as one making $50. So they changed the bonus scheme to better reflect performance. Sure, a lot of low-performing contributors experienced quite the drop, average contributors stayed about the same, and high-performing contributors got a bit of a boost. Sucks if you make less, but it's definitely fairer.
