Summary: Here, we’ll take you through what being a part of the Envato Author Community is all about, the opportunities available to you to get involved both globally and locally, and how these connections can support your creative journey and growth on our platforms.
About the Envato Author Community
At Envato, we believe that we succeed when our community succeeds. We have communities all around the world from nearly every country, specializing in creative products that sell across our platforms.
The Envato author community stands out through its incredible diversity, spanning creative products such as Audio, Video, Photos, WordPress, Code, Web and 3D, and across platforms including Envato Market, Envato Elements and Placeit.
Alongside this, our communities have strong and vibrant cultural roots. You’ll often find online and offline groups across various languages and interests, that offer support on a global and local level, whether you’re a new author or a growing author.
Our Growing Community Earnings
More than 81,000 authors all around the world have now earned with Envato, be it for their designs, their items, their skills and experience or their eye for trends.
At Envato, our goal is to put more earnings into the hands of our creative community and in 2020, we reached $1 billion USD in total community earnings.
This milestone is a reflection of our commitment to the community, and we will always be proud that our community earns more than our company does.
Our Community Badges
We're always happy to celebrate an author’s contribution to the life of our community. There are lots of badges you can unlock throughout your Envato journey. Authors can see which accomplishments they’ve already achieved and find out how to unlock more by visiting their personalized badges page.
Please note: Badges can only be provisioned by staff and are not to be used in any other way (ie., as part of an avatar or item thumbnail).
