Just wondering if any FD authors have been pleasantly or unpleasantly surprised by the sales reaction to their product.
I mean have you ever released a file that you thought was a sure fire hit only to have it largely ignored? Or conversely have you released something that you thought was just ok only to have it sell really well?

sure thing, but I`m in the video section; video is sort of hit and miss, and maybe because nobody knows how the file really looks full size, and they sort of guess what they`ll buy. With flash is pretty much simple: just do a nice, stylish template, or a good gallery/portfolio showcase, and you`re set.

Yeah true, video is hit or miss. However some files that i thought were some of my better files haven’t sold at all. But hey i don’t know what people want or are looking for so if anyone has a request i will welcome it and create it if i think it will sell. My latest file i think is a hit so i guess I’ll find out in the next few days if it truly is.

I’ve only sold things that I made for people (with the understanding that the code would be re-used/re-sold) or things that I’ve made for myself with the intent to re-use them in my future projects (aka. my personal asset library).
In other words, everything I’ve posted here is something I would have made anyway so I can’t really be dissapointed with sales.

Sometimes I don’t understand why files sell so well.
For eg The Bobocel FLV player 14 has 788 sales.
No doubting it’s a fine piece of work but why so popular?
Who the hell needs a FLV player? There’s a ton of them around. I mean seriously, is this thing doing something that I don’t understand? Did it supply a ground breaking feature?
I wonder if Bobocel knew it would go through the roof like that? That’s what I call “kicking a goal” (big time!)
So really….... is it THAT far ahead of the pack?
(no offense to Bobocel intended)
