Is anyone else seeing a drastic drop in sales over the last couple of months? I'm down by $1-200 a fortnight on what I used to earn. This is way more than usual fluctuations. I'm worried.

Just out of curiosity, how many here are set to earn cash and not credits? I'm asking because as soon as I switched to earn cash a couple of months ago my sales took a drastic nose dive. It might be a coincidence but I thought I'd see where everyone else sits on this.

@RoyMeshes​ my sales are down, it's not just income.

Is it mostly sales down or income down?

 

For income a lot could be explained with how the bonus credits with the sales are now promo instead of regular ones. The wheel spinning also gives promos. Diamond VIP gives multiple daily spins too. With so many promos why buy real credits?

 

This is just a speculation. I could be completely wrong.

 

I have felt like my main has been earning a bit less but I also have not ben creating as much on it.

Just another voice in the wilderness!

 

Never really had huge sales, and don't really publish much these days but sales are similarly down for what's has generally been decent sellers because they're pretty 'generic' so don't rely on niche fads.

I'll be likely making my last and final room, I guess. It's a huge summer city with 2 car driving paths and lots of places to explore. But it's a wasted effort if it won't put food on my table.

I need time to cry too... I have been holding my breath and my say in this...

 

I had my Worst Day in my history of sales over the last 10 years was 2 days ago... It is still way down from even a week ago. I would love to see a way for Creators who make Furniture Rooms and Avatar Accessories to make some sales...

@RigsK​ Is spending down across the board? I wondered if people might be spending their money on new paid features instead of credits.

Thanks @RigsK​ . If it helps, most of my derived sales are accessories and shoes (I don't make many direct sales).

I have been experiencing the same or probably worse. I have been creating for 5 years now. This is very alarming!!

Hi All,

We've been looking at the data and we do see a general decrease in spend. This aligns with with overall economic trends and we are digging deeper to determine if there are specific categories that might be effected. More info coming soon.

@RigsK​ Thank you for looking into this matter I really hope you can find what causes all of this.

I have been following this thread for a while and decided to share my thoughts. I have been meshing here for almost 12 years (mostly clothing meshes with textures) so my sales represent sales of other creators to some extent, and they have been falling since March... To be honest, my sales are down 30-40% depending on the day. I create here on a full-time basis and this is my main source of income, such a substantial drop really worries me. We all know that sales fluctuate and trends fade, seasons come and go but I have never experienced such a big drop in 12 years.
