AudioJungle and GameAudioHub are the only two places I have in mind, although I know for a fact there are MANY more.

You should make a huge bundle/library of FX and sell them!

I've heard a lot of people talk about AudioJungle, but realistically, how much money can one really make from AudioJungle?

It really depends... To me, there seems to be a higher demand for more of that "corporate motivational" kind of stuff. Those tracks seem to be getting the most sales.

You'll be making about 5$-7$ per music track assuming they are about 1-3 minutes long.
I'm not too sure about SFX, but one short SFX will go for about 1$ and you'll get half of that. You can make SFX packs that go for a bit more.

Depending on the quality of your music and if you upload stuff in more popular markets you can probably make a couple of sales (as a new member) per month. Probably somewhere around 5 or so sales per month at best.

That's my guess, but everyone's situation is different. I had a rough start at first but I'm consistently selling 5-10 items per week so it's been pretty nice lately.

When you have enough items on your profile you can start making compilations o collections (of the items you have on AJ) and sell those for much more than a single track.

They do have forums as well. I've managed to get a couple of sale increases by looking out for people who are in need for specific things.

I'm not too sure about the market for SFX, but I'm sure that will just increase your revenue if posting stuff in there along with music.

Yeah I've definitely noticed that the demand seems to be on motivational corporate style music. I think it would definitely be a cool thing to start doing, what's not to love about making a little pocket money doing something you love :D

AJ is a good place to sell, because it has a lot of organic traffic so sales are more frequent than on other sites.
