Did I select something wrong? Commercial license should be chosen,right?

I am reaaally dissapointed.One item approved from 6 and the one that had been approved doesn’t bring me any earnings.Just 50 clickthroughs this month and 0$.

Am I unlucky or I did something wrong?

You have to take into consideration that not all people are willing to click a buy link or visit a commercial’s item website. Some will stick just to the preview.

Thank’s for advice Dzinc. Changed the Author link ! Let’s see now :D Only hope for better days.

Planning on uploading a text style item type and add it to adobe exchange to test if it gets accepted faster than the business cards and posters i already have now uploaded on AE

I know i never posted a comment on this thread but i’ve read it from day one and tried to follow some of your advice. And i can say that things are moving in a good direction, i can’t compare with Dziinc or Artorius which have some kind of a referral magnet :P (just kidding) but i think i’m on the right track.

So thanks for starting this thread and for the advice, much appreciated.
Here is the list of my last 3 months.

It’s on the page after the one where you add all the details of the item. So you have to do it for each individual item. You can go to edit item and then continue past the first page and you should get to the page where you put in author details. I hope that made at least a bit of sense :)
