Title: Your best seller in September !
Post by: MicrostockExp on October 01, 2007, 01:23: Hello

I thought it would be interesting to open a thread about the best seller of the previous month. You can post you pic and optionally how much did you earn. Here we go with $5.71 this month
Let's see yours!

Post by: GeoPappas on October 01, 2007, 01:29: I would recommend not including Extended License sales, otherwise they will skew the results.

Post by: Mellimage on October 01, 2007, 07:50: Based on Istock performance it would be this one:
Sold 12 times in September.

However, I don't keep records of individual image performance.

Post by: Pixart on October 01, 2007, 10:27: This one has downloaded once or twice a day for 6 months and suddenly it has stopped at 320 dls on IS. Still resonable sales and does very well on SS too.

Wish I could adjust the levels in it, but oh well.

You can.... I contacted IS and asked to do it on my best seller, they told me to send them the new file and if it was better...they would change the file....so that's what I did.

Thank you sharply :)
I'm really happy about that! Now I'm waiting for DT to allow me to go exclussive with IS. Based on my expierience, I think for illustrators is the best choice.

Ha, thanks Tom, good advice, but I'm afraid to.... They rejected the rest of the series because of the map.

Post by: madelaide on October 01, 2007, 14:30: I don't keep track of images each month, only total sales, but I guess this was one of the best-sellers this month:
