The Envato Marketplaces are a fantastic way to earn money, but sometimes you may be looking for a way to draw extra attention to your portfolio of work. We’ve got something which may help you out! Each Envato Marketplace offers a ‘Free File of the Month’, where a file can be downloaded under a regular license once for free by anyone in that month. This is a great way to show off your skills to a huge range of people and attract attention to the rest of your portfolio!

The Free File of the Month is a great way to gain exposure as an author, promote your portfolio, and be more involved in the Envato community. Your item will be featured on the Marketplace front page for an entire month and you’ll get a nifty badge!

• The file needs to have been on the Marketplaces for a minimum of 6 months in order to be eligible for selection as Free File of the Month, unless you’re submitting an item from PhotoDune.
