Quote - *Heck, even a lot of freebies, except for the hottest ones never reach thousands of downloads. The ones that do, are either nudie oriented, or take a lot more to make then what a person would recover by selling them for a dollar-a-piece.

*I have eight freebies at the moment and five of them are downloaded more than a thousand times, three of them even more then a two thousand times. If I got a dollar for every download, I would earn more than eigth thousand dollars.

 

However, one freebie download doesn't equate to one sale. The ratio is more like 100:1  If an item has 2000 downloads as a freebie, it might sell in 20-50 copies if it was a low priced sale item.

This is what I was getting at, trying to explain to Dogor, that the buying habits in poserdom don't equate to thousands of purchases per item, no matter how low the price is, and no matter how popular the item is, or both.

The reason I brought up freebies is to show that even freestuff, which gets downloaded a hundred times more then purchase items, barely getting into several hundred, or couple thousand or so downloads.

If freebie downloads were in tens of thousands or hundred thousands, then one could hope that purchase items (dollar item) sales would be in several hundreds to couple of thousand, and would make the dollar item theory worth while.

What I gather from couple informed sources that I quizzed and researched as a merchant is that there is around 3000 or so active content purchasing users out there, TOTAL... spread around DAZ, Rendo RDNA and couple other content selling sites.
