The design gets the most sales. If the design is perfect and it has lots of features then youll be a success.
If there’s one thing I’ve learnt over the few months I’ve been trying to be approved here, it’s that there’s no one thing that’s gonna make your theme a hit.. you need to take care of everything from the front-end to the back and everything inbetween… a nice admin/options system is always a big plus but make sure you’re also putting time and care into your front-end. The whole shabang.
Good luck

Exact. Everythings needs to be perfect and of course you have to advertise your theme on other sites.

You don’t need to advertise. I don’t.

You even don’t twitter about your themes? or upload pictures to other websites like deviantArt, Forrst or dribbble?
However, advertising your theme is always better then nothing I think (no offense
).

After creating my own admin options panel I can safely say that I’ve seen some obvious increase in the amount of sales in the themes that includes my BluzPanel (which is 2 ATM but updates are coming soon).

Nope. I don’t have a Twitter or Facebook account. If I had to do my own advertising I’d take serious issue with the % that ThemeForest takes. That’s the whole idea behind why I sell here and not on my own website.
