How many models did you have at the time?

Around 50. But because I specialize in plants I have many variations of the same plant. So it was about 4 or 5 unique species.

For me it took 7 months. I don't remember how many models I had then, but I sure remember the thrill it gave. The first sale is the best.

I can't remember exactly but it took me a few months for sure ! And of course that first sale has some charm of its own

This is a good question. It took about 2 months for me if I recall correctly, but it was a long time ago. I had about 30 or 40 models in my profile before I saw my first sale, with about 5-10 of those being freebies. It also took me a while to find my niche and which categories I would be able to offer quality and still maintain some regularity in the uploads. I didn't start to see consistent sales until I had a profile with about 70 or 80 quality paid products. Nowadays I might offer 1 free model for every 50 paid models as a "thank you" to the community for their support, but freebies don't really do much to boost sales at all.

For a first few years i did have more free models than the paid ones. That was the time when reputation points were given for each download and it was good way to quickly boost your royalty rate. Novadays free models are mostly useless on cgtrader, but i still have quite few of them on other platforms, where they still makes sense.

In the beginning I had four freebies, now I had put a price on two of them (a low price however) and the have sold a couple of times.

My first sale was three days after i published my first model, but that was more luck, than anything else.

For me it was around 6 months after publishing first model... I had around 10 models at that time but the sale was 3 models at a time!
Even the price were low, the feeling was really nice and it motivated me to upload more.
Good luck to you!
