Once we discovered Peerapong was near the $1,000,000+ milestone we requested him to reply some essential questions for us.

For those who fancy your self a future Energy Elite writer, learn intently and see in the event you can decide up some ideas!
Congratulations Pete, how does it really feel to have bought over $1,000,000 of things?
It’s unbelievable. I by no means thought I might promote themes price 1,000,000 on this quick time period (I'm 28 years previous). Again in 2008, I used to be nonetheless unemployed and had failed with so many internet merchandise. I nonetheless bear in mind, earlier than I knew about ThemeForest, I used to be prepared to surrender on the web and internet expertise as a result of I had tried so onerous to give you many internet tasks and so they had all failed. So I began considering
Is that this the best factor for me to do for the remainder of my life?.
However when I discovered ThemeForest unintentionally (I noticed ThemeForest adverts on Twitter app), I began studying extra in regards to the Purchasewp Marketplaces and the way they work. Then I made a decision to provide it a attempt to it turned out to be the most effective choices in my life.
What does this milestone imply for you as an writer and designer?
Actually, it jogs my memory how far all people can go in the event that they by no means surrender. However it doesn’t make me really feel that I'm a greater writer than others in any respect. Every part modifications so quick on this trade and I nonetheless must study and enhance myself on a regular basis.
Btw, the facility elite ring is so cool. I find it irresistible! ?
What number of hours do you spend on designs for the Purchasewp market?
I work round Eight-16 hours a day on help and theme design. Typically I work daily (even on the weekend) LOL! I believe the explanation I spend lengthy hours engaged on my job is that I by no means really feel like I'm working in any respect. I might spend hours ending the most recent a part of a theme on the weekend as a substitute of going out for film or a visit. It sounds bizarre but it surely’s actually true ?
Have you ever had any designs rejected and what did you do about it?
In fact ? My first images theme was rejected Four-5 occasions. On the time, I used to be indignant first. As soon as I calmed down I began digging deeper and listening to the rejection causes the reviewer gave. I attempted tougher to seek out the weak spots in my design. After that first failed theme, I improved however nonetheless acquired rejected 2-Three occasions earlier than getting lots of my themes authorized. I spotted that the reviewer’s solutions are invaluable data that can assist you to enhance your product. Lots of the reviewer’s solutions have improved my themes 
What phrases of encouragement do you must any budding authors who wish to make Energy Elite degree?
Something is feasible in the event you attempt tougher and have the best perspective. Take me for example. I come from small nation (I lived in Bangkok, Thailand) and English is just not my fluent language. Earlier than I joined ThemeForest, I used to be unemployed and able to stop making internet merchandise.
I used to be informed by so many individuals that I used to be unsuitable after I determined to stop my half time job to work full time on the ThemeForest Market. I acquired many rejections earlier than my first theme was even authorized. I used to be not a proficient designer and coder however I've improved and now work even tougher to enhance my expertise.So please, by no means surrender even within the darkest day of your life.
What's your workplace house like?
It’s a bit untidy. I've 1 Macbook Professional with Cinema show. Typically after spending hours working, my desk is stuffed with papers :D. I additionally typically exit and work from cafe (Starbucks) after I must refresh my eyes and concepts. It at all times helps
How do you get inspiration on your designs?
Like many different authors. I really like CSS gallery websites and different design weblog posts. For instance; “Finest 50 web sites blah blah…”. I really like inside design too, so I spend a while every day on many inside and residential design websites.
What's the neatest thing about your job?
You possibly can actually work in your imaginative and prescient, concepts and see how folks reply to your work in a very aggressive market. I was software program engineer who labored on tasks wherein clients and my boss informed me what to do, even after I knew it was not the best method or there was higher method. The ThemeForest market is so aggressive that you just actually have to enhance and study new issues on a regular basis and that makes my job extra thrilling!
For those who might select any house on this planet and create a design for it, the place wouldn't it be and what would you make?
Presently I'm in strategy of constructing my first residence. I work with a really proficient inside designer and it’s a fantastic consequence. I’ve at all times needed to create an exquisite design resort within the mountains of Thailand. I hope sometime sooner or later, I'll construct a fantastic resort or homes in Khao Khor, Khao Yai or Pai (and different locations) in Thailand
How do you retain motivated and impressed?
I learn tales about many proficient folks on this planet. A lot of them are profitable at very younger age and it has impressed me. Once I’ve had a nasty day, I remind myself about these folks’s tales. Most of them failed many occasions however they didn’t surrender and that's the reason they succeeded. It teaches me to attempt even tougher and get again to the best perspective.
Additionally, I believe the best way the Purchasewp Marketplaces work inspire me too. For instance, the paw badge, month-to-month rating, breaking month-to-month file weblog submit and so on. Everybody desires to interrupt the file proper? LOL ?
What's the hardest half about your job?
I believe motivation can be the toughest half. For instance, when your gross sales are rising for a lot of months typically it makes you are feeling extra snug and cease making new merchandise or studying new issues. When that occurs it is going to damage your gross sales as a result of it is a very aggressive market.
For those who cease studying then there are such a lot of folks world wide who will give you nice new merchandise.
Is there the rest you wish to say?
Within the final 2 years, my life has utterly modified. I at all times assume I'm very fortunate to have joined this nice group in addition to nice Market on the proper time. I wish to say “Thanks very a lot” to Collis and everybody within the Purchasewp group for creating this nice alternative for everybody. Wherever you reside there is a chance to achieve the Purchasewp Marketplaces.
An enormous thanks from all of us at Purchasewp, Pete. We recognize you sharing your story and reminding us of what could be achieved with a bit onerous work!
As soon as once more, Congratulations and Joyful Peerapong Day!
