Updated only real change was StockXpert climbed to 3rd place

SS  46.7%
DT  15.6%


StockXpert   8.5% BME 
FT      8.4%
123   6.7% BME 
BS     6.3%
IS       5.9%

FP      1.4%
CanStockPhoto    0.3%
SPM    0.1%

A couple of Sales at Alamy made it the BME ever overall.

SS every month this year have provided between 40-50% of my income so nothing new there.

BME at 123 was helped by an extended license sale

 

Ho Yes! Another record month to me to...

SS   26,96%  BME 
SX   25,16%  BME 

IS    13,71%

FT    13,32%   BME 
DT      9,89%  BME    

123rf  8,18%  

BS      1,35%  BME  
CS      0,90%
LO      0,54% 

Every month it’s a competition with SS and SX but SS always win.

I really like SX but I am afraid of the subscription option to the buyers, well he have to wait and see what’s happen.

IS - 27%
SS - 21%
XP - 19%
FT - 12%
DT - 9%
BS - 6%
123 - 5%
other - 1%

First time for me that SS has dropped out of the lead.

Overall BME:

IS: 50% (BME)
SS: 31% (BME)
FT: 8%
BS: 6%
DT: 5%  (down 60% from August, I have no idea what happened)

Overall I am quite happy, especially since I broke the $500 at SS and got the raise (finally).

All I can say this was record month for me. I only have images on Fotolia so far. I earned 400% more than in august. And since I am only here since May 2007, I can say I earned more in september than in may, june, july and august all thogether! I hope october will be such as good, if not better!

Haven't done % yet but istock is way down. 
It's usually level with SS but have made 50% more on SS this month than IS. 
Everyone but IStock is up on last month.

1st   iStockphoto:   31,66% Growth +33,3% BME For the first time No1
2nd  Shutterstock:  26,98% Growth -12%     No1 place lost to IS
3rd   Stockxpert:     11,78% Growth -21%  Good month, last month was so good, because two Els = 75$
4th  Dreamstime:    10,7%  Growth +33,3% Good growth this month, but totaly only 4th place despite biggest portfolio BME
5th  Panthermedia:  9,28% Growth +720% Last month was really low, this month second best ever
6th  Fotolia:             7,85% Growth +26%  BME
7th 123RF:              0,82%  Growth +11%
8th Bigstockphoto:  0,77% Growth +150% Still cannot understand why this is such a low earner for me however second best month ever
9th Crestock: 0,08% Started to contribute this month 3 sales so far with only 11 images online! BME
10th LuckyOliver:    0,03%  Growth -90% Just one image sold.. I am sorry about LO, its one of the agencies I wish will succeed

Total Growth 17% to last month and 3% to prior BME so this is my BME

First time I'm posting these stats. I don't have a huge portfolio (all around 70 images).

As usual IS was over half of my income, and for the first time since I started last year, DT had no sales.

IS    64% (65 images)
SS   18% (70 images)
StockXpert    19% (79 images)
DT      0% (77 images)

As a little test I forced myself to not upload anything in September (ok, I gave up at the end around Sept 27 ... ). As projected SS royalties dropped significantly (~75% of August), DT kept quite stable, IS lost ~12% both in DLs and $.

StockXpert was the absolute loser of the month - WME there, 60% of DLs and 30%(!) of royalties compared to August which is actually less than what I got in April, my very first (and even incomplete) month there.

From the total results the following companies made:
IS: ~38%
SS: ~11%
DT: ~8%
StockXpert: ~4%

Total number of DLs from these 4 sites: ~600. And the missing 39% royalties came from 15 DLs at two local and not-so-micro-stock sites. That's why I will never go exclusive anywhere.

For me SS has never been in the 1st place, not even close to it. Though my IS and SS portfolios are about the same size (~300 pictures) SS never made more than 60% of IS's $. And in a typical month SS is bringing ~40% of IS.

Is - 55% - BME
SS - 33,6% - BME
StockXpert - 5,9 %
DT - 5,5 %

BME!!!! 

Very strange month for me. BME overall, thanks to a couple of EL's on FT, but almost all the other sites did about the same.

FT   33%
SS   15%
IS   14%
DT   13%
BS   10%
StockXpert   10%
123rf   3%

My 2007 numbers until August:

CS	<1%	<1%	<1%	<1%	1%	2%	<1%	<1%	2%	<1%

Overall earnings are 10% above August, but 11% below July.

BME at StockXpert, 2nd best at BigStock.  IS and DT were more or less stable, FT was better than Aug but still far from BME in July - I miss those EL's!

Stable low earnings in CanStockPhoto, Scan, CS and FP.  First month this year without sales at LO.
