All good questions! I'd also like to add: what percentage of that $42,000 does he or she get to keep?

Er, here we go, the answer seems to be "it depends": http://themeforest.net/wiki/selling/getting-paid/payment-rat...

It's actually $47K. Here is the math $47K x 0.7 = 32.9K

He is in the markets for less than one year, and has 1000-1999 referrals. As a CodeCanyon member, most signed referrals deposit money. Let's assume the average deposit per user is $30 for Orman. He gets $9 per user.

1999 / 12 = around 150 user per month. 150 * 9 = $1.35k

Not much compared to the actual sales, so most of his sales comes from traffic ThemeForest brings.
