so if one has already done the work of uploading thousands of images to multiple sites, going excl. seems like a step backwards.

even if one hasn't, it's not so difficult to upload to many sites nowadays: there's IPTC, FTP, Lightburner (all free), plus a number of paid for services... it's just a little more work in exchange for a strong insurance against sudden changes at any specific site

Yeah, if you monitor your position relative to others on the Istock charts, you get a good idea if you would be better off going exclusive. 

Considering how many exclusive diamonds I have passed, I don't imagine my sales would be a lot better if I was exclusive.

Yep!  same here, If I judge by my own Diamond level I am right now much better off being independant. Although I do know a couple of guys who has actually doubled their incomes with pretty much the same size of port as myself.

You know, I dont get it?  the top 20-30 people are basically all shooting lifestyles, pics looks all pretty much the same. How many freaking buyers of lifestyles can it be? Undecided Undecided

And they say you have to find niches, lol. Well I shouldn't write that quoting you since you are doing great having super niched shots, but still, the point remains the same.

Very good month, 3rd in earnings this year.
Last 2 years July, June and August are the worst months for me as you can see as a fade on graph.
What concerns me is September prediction that will maybe 3rd low earner month (worse than April).
