February was a Record Month on 3DOcean!

Hey 3DOcean’rs! I wanted to stop in and post up some updates and stats about how 3DOcean is going. I’m really excited for the site this year as we are slowly starting to get some momentum going. It’s taken longer than I ever thought it would, but little by little the numbers are starting to push 3DO’s way!

So first of all you’ll be excited to know that February was a record month for 3DOcean, biggest sales month ever (not counting the month we ran a bundle!) – must be that extra leap year day we got in Feb 29 Year on year the site has grown about 50% which isn’t as quick as most of the other marketplaces, but is in the right direction and is a significant enough stat to post imho!

We now have 404 authors with at least one sale, and of course last year Peter Guthrie became our very first 3DO Elite author – I hope there will be plenty more to come, though I must admit paguthrie is way out in front at the moment

Traffic is on average up about 30-40% from this time last year, and I’m very happy to say that search traffic is triple what it was this time last year! Also a curious traffic stat: 3DOcean has a higher portion of Windows visitors than any other Envato Marketplace at 80% Windows (the marketplace average by comparison is 68%).

We’ve just passed 4000 3D Models and are about to pass 5000 files generally on the site. So we’ve come a long way in terms of library depth, and this more than anything else is what makes me think 2012 is going to be the year for 3DOcean!

We’ve got lots of promotions planned this year to help build that momentum, and the first big one kicks off today in the form of our 50% Marketplace Credit Back on all 3DOcean purchases! Along with growing sales, we also should see quite a few feature improvements this year, which I think are quite overdue for this marketplace. Hopefully this too will contribute to making 2012 3DOcean’s year

I can’t wait to see March’s numbers, I think it’ll be another record breaker for sure!!!

Great stuff, I see you’re marketing the 3D script route, which is a great way to go if you look at sales.

Looking forward to the growth, and yeah hopefully it will break even with the big guns…

Now that’s some awesome news ! I was about to seriously start packing

Pumping in some new files ! Gonna be an awesome run in 2012 !

Thank you collis ! Thanks envato !

I’ve noticed that, my sales were unusually high last month (considering fact that I haven’t upload anything for almost a year).

I’m looking forward for 3DO further success, it has great community which is quite rare elsewhere.

Glad I am part of this ride.

2012 is going to be the year for 3DOcean!

That’s awesome news! Really hoping to find time to create some 3d models this month for the 50% off this month, got some ideas. I have noticed an increase in sales and I haven’t uploaded any files since August. Been too caught up in themeforest. Thanks Envato!

From the sales volume these 2-3 days, seems that March is gonna be the record month without a second thought !

Awesome!

Already 8 sales today. This is gonna be huge!!

I’ve had more sales from my 3D models than my Tumblr themes so far this month with is unusual! So it does look like a good month. I’m working on some 3d models this month so you’ll be seeing some new work from me soon!
