I think I'm an Envato junky.. :(

26 replies
Hey guys,

I seriously think I'm an Envato-junky! For the ones that don't know, Envato is the company behind sites like themeforest.net, graphicriver.net, codecanyon.net, etc..

Not a week goes by without buying some themes, plugins, graphics or videos.. There's just too much good stuff!

I just checked, and so far.. I've spend $938 on Envato items The best (worst?) part is I don't even regret any purchase

Am I the only one? Do you guys buy stuff from Envato? If so, how much / often ?

    Hmmm.... How does that make you feel?

    (That was my joke line-- )

    You made me curious.

    What do you buy on Envato that you use in your business? Why is it better, or more accessible on Envato than elsewhere?

      They have some themes that have so many features - I've never seen anything come close yet (just a few, but still).

      The best thing about Envato is (I think) they decide whether or not something can be offered within their marketplace, which keeps the level of quality quite high.

      There are also a lot of scripts on codecanyon that have a low price for the developers license, which means you can use the code to implement in your own products.. Ca-ching!

        Love Envato! I can waste a lot of time looking through the After Effects templates and listening to the music clips. I don't usually buy music there, though. Jewelbeat is my favorite music source, due to their low prices.

    they have a very nice inventory. if u buy stuff and don't use it, this is a waste, don't u think?

    try to use what u already bought before buying more :-)

    I buy themes from there now and then, but I'm not a junkie. If you don't regret the purchases and you haven't had to give up your dwelling to live under a bridge yet, keep doing it.

    All kinds of collectors. You just happen to be a themes, plugins, graphics, videos, collector. Better than being a porn collector!

      You'll find envato is a lot like fightclub. The first rule of fightclub is you do not talk about fightclub.

      I have been using those sites for years but yes, they are a resource I very rarely share around. Why create more competition for yourself. Too much great stuff for ME to buy.

          Exactly, you're not allowed to resell the items under any license.

          However, when you have the developer's license of a product you are allowed to implement the product into a product of your own - and sell that

    I check Envato sites a bunch and love some of the plug-ins and graphics I've bought. I haven't spent nearly as much as you have, but I feel like I am on one of their sites every damn day. And I'm thinking about working on small song snippets to add to AudioJungle so I can start earning from Envato and not paying them so much!!

      I'm *definitely* on their sites every day!

      Even worse, when I enter "t" in my Chrome address bar, it autofills to themeforest.net (see Droplr*•*Nieuw tabblad.jpg). You see, I'm a junky...

    Well this is a funny type of addiction. You might want to take some measures like blocking the website before something happens (like your bank account draining).

    I have not purchased anything from there, actually hearing for the first time. Feeling interest after your thread. And now it seems, they will cut a big amount from my pocket as well, and I am surely happy for that.
