I'd like to sell my ThemeForest business. What 's the best way?

Posted by tfauthor on Tuesday July 12, 2016 @02:38PM
from the self-post dept.

Currently generating about $24-25k per month but depending on what month, the income increases to 30k. About $165k since January to date. This is after Envato commission. There is another theme in the queue, which should increase the earnings a lot more (hoping to see $35k/month).

There is not much expense, support is outsourced ($3000/m) and hosting is WPEngine ($100/m).

Anyone interested?

What is in the portfolio, and how old are the themes?

I have both old and new themes. Oldest is from 2014. I have constant sales for all themes in my portfolio.

For example, yesterday was around $1.2k, distributed nearly evenly among themes.

Too bored I guess + family issues taking lots of time. I need a 9 to 5 job so I can disconnect from work after 5!
