The famous 80/20 rules of all, I believe the 20% elites can survive with they sales only on Envato marketplace alone, but what about the 80% rest of others, how do they do in real life? What job do they have? What kind of time management have they planned to further develop their skills?

I am in the 80! I design novelty kids books as a day job (this is effectively cutting and sticking stuff together!).
I’d love to be able to rely on Gr- maybe in 20 years time when I have a bigger portfolio!

I am also the part of the 80%....I am currently working full time web/graphic designer at a firm. Hoping…finishing up college next year, and going back into programming. Then just keep on working 
..and make GR files on my free time. I would also love to rely on GR…. in 2-3 years…i’m sure i’ll make it up my elite list one day

I’m part of both the 80% and the 20% by default now, since the company i worked for liquidated 2 months ago. I am just going to keep working the same long hours but all of them for Graphic River. (I am suffering withdrawal symptoms because i’ve stopped buying luxuries like chocolate and alcohol Probably a good thing.

I thought it was just sell loads of templates. But then I looked at the badge list and it’s not in the paws section, so I’m not sure!

Lol. So does a member of staff nominate you for it, or does it just come automatic? Is there any GR authors that have elite status. I’ve noticed a lot of theme forest guys do
