We’ve Launched Another Site – AudioJungle!
It’s that time of the year at the moment and over here at Eden HQ we’re launching sites by the bucketload. This time last year it was FreelanceSwitch, FaveUp and PSDTUTS. In 2008, we’ve got a much bigger stack of launches ahead!
Today though, we’ve launched probably one of our biggest sites in the form of AudioJungle which is a site where anyone can buy and sell music loops and sound effects. Over the coming months we’re going to be building this into a powerhouse audio community, to match our main FlashDen site.
I always advocate that freelancers should develop sources of passive income to augment their regular freelance jobs. Some time ago we wrote up a guide on the subject (Visit NotByTheHour) and AudioJungle is one more avenue to achieve this.
Personally I started out selling illustrations on iStockPhoto, and to this day – loooong after I stopped uploading – it’s still ticking away generating income. While I know there are serious stock producers who make a living, it can just as easily be something to do when work is quiet, or even with left over work from your regular freelance jobs – I used to use illustrations I did that never quite made it into the final designs.
Anyhow so if you have a moment, make sure to pay AudioJungle a visit. And if you like the site, give it a thumb up on StumbleUpon, or a Digg!

You guys just don’t stop releasing websites, uh?!
Audio Jungle is amazing, was just browsing around the loops and audios, they are really cool.
Anyways, thanks for your donation to the net – you guys really do rock!
wow you guys really rocks in this field.. I just browse the website and I love all the stuffs there from the design over all, very neat great job guys really love your work. Thanks for all of this.
Great site. Definitely a great resource added to the Eden list of sites. Passive income indeed. Congrats
Congrats Collis and Eden team.
Looks super awesome, love the consistent branding… neat name, too!
That is so cool. Definitely another winning niche site. Congrats guys.
Very cool idea. Congrats.
Nice work, but don’t you think that female voice is overly done to protect the songs?
Congrats on the launch! Looks sweet (as always)
Congrats.. you guys are nuts! nutsss! In a good way ofcourse!
thanks for creating amazing sites that make the web a wonderful place to be..
Gotta hand it to you…You guys always have great UI’s.
Don’t you guys think that’s a little low on the royalty? How bout minimum 50%? I know through iTunes, you can get 80-90% profit minimum by releasing songs through CD baby.
Good resource. Did find it odd — even though you do have a ‘Home’ text link — that the logo wasn’t linked to the home page. Um, usability?
I could have sworn I saw the font on that site before.. and hah! FreelanceSwitch.. I wanna know which font that is so bad… @_@
and er.. congrats on this new project
Passive income FTW (I call it diversifying my ‘portfolio’ since I’m a designer.)
I started contributing to istock 8 or 9 months ago (with good success) but now I’m at the point where I want to do other things to make passive income. Anybody have any ideas?
