Hi,

this is my first post here. I am in the microstock market since some years as contributor with an average of 1500 images per agency .
I read several posts here and at SS forum about a drop of the images sold through SS.
I observed a sensible fall too in my earnings at SS (35-40%) since July 2016 - the trend keeps going - but at the same time I 'm blessed with a remarkable rise of earnings and sales at DT, FT and Istock, and slower but also noteworthy at Alamy with a satisfactory end of the month to compensate SS, adding something more at the total

Anyone else with the same experience?

Me-I had a sale at Alamy in September that is close to what I earn for a month on any other site. I'd like one of those a day

I've only been with them for a year, got 59 clips there.... April was my best month with $146. Have made $197 so far in September, with a week still to go. Happy days!

I've had a similar experience though my port is about 1/2 of yours. Even Alamy has picked up for me with a few sales, and those made it up for my entire 8-months on SS. My sales on fotolia, however, are erratic. Some weeks there are lots of those, some other weeks its dead silence on that end.
