Can you share what kind of product this is?

It's a few products actually, mainly aimed at small businesses who need web software. My main product is http://paymentsplugin.com which gets most of the sales. I enjoy putting products together though, some hit, others miss. It's good practice on the sales and marketing side of things too as I'm mostly a developer.

Well, that looks interesting :). Thanks for the share. And yeah, putting products out is definitely the best way to learn for me too.

Interesting product, how well is selling through envato working for you? I've looked at it before but the rates seemed a little too much for new members.

It's a tough trade-off really. Envato have millions of members so I get regular sales but the commission rates are very unfavorable. I'm working on moving some of my more popular products from Envato marketplaces and onto my own websites. It's a slow process though as I want to keep the benefits of the traffic from Envato throughout. Plus I'm still learning with regards to internet marketing and can't hope to attract the types of traffic Envato can bring me.
