Hi Patrick, Good luck with CodeCanyon. Well, as a seasoned seller in CodeCanyon, here is my bit of advice:

1. Quality. Users buy appearances. They judge your application by its quality. Focus on that, and you'll sell.

2. Solve a wide spread problem. Like for example, sliders.

3. Innovate. I don't mean invent thing, but just tick new ideas. For example, a different slider will sell at $10k/year, with its WordPress plugin, you are at $20-25k/year from two items only.

4. Help, Videos, Presentation, Customer Support, Branding... that bullshit.

5. Once you made your product and making $2.5k/month, start the old fashioned marketing way.

6. The money is on the forest. Team up with a designer and make the money.
