Micro earnings are higher than last January overall, though SS my best earner, is down a bit from last January which is worrying. Still, SS earnings are generally showing an upward trend & new files are starting to sell more. RPI across my big three micros averages out to roughly the same as it was last January, so with RPI pretty steady, I'm still seeing a decent increase overall as I upload more files.

Responding to the RM discussions below, I licensed 7 RM images this month, one on my own, two through Alamy, and four through a German site I was invited to join last year. The single largest of those earned me more than I made from all the micros combined. Also just had a photo shortlisted at ImageBrief last week, so I'm inclined to keep holding back certain types of images as RM.

February sales have been brisk even over Superbowl weekend, which is a nice way to start this month. I can't predict the future so I'll just keep chugging along and keeping my eggs in many baskets.

Same here. The RMs are flourishing. Bit of a warning though. Just to mention you are doing well in RM and especially here is not popular at all. these are micro people only and feelings towards RMs are fierce.
I do agree with you though. :)

See below!  I told you! this person have got nothing else to do.

Nice detective work gostwyck :)

Although January was a BME for me, revenue was not commensurate with the number of pictures put up.  Sales did not pick up until the third week.  So January was pretty bad.  Luckily, February has been good...finally hit >200 downloads in a day yesterday on SS :)

and you started back in May 2013 (not even 1 year), impressive stuff, 5k downloads in a month with a 5k portfolio, its about working hard not complaining...

don't be jealous Christian, pull your head out of your ass ;D

SS was above average for me in January. IS was less than the previous month. However, after doing all my totals for the MSG survey, I found I made twice the amount of money I did the previous year. Not so bad for me. Sorry it wasn't so great for others.  :-\

SS BME
123 BME

The rest is plodding on as usual, nothing to report.

Symbiostock no more sales. Very disappointing as I had good hopes.

FAA died as well, but its the same as the period last year, I am sure it will pick up again.

You can win in a big way if you become a factory.  Check out this guy:

Africa Studio--390,000+ images and growing!  Who is this mystery person (or people)?  They must be buying out other portfolios or other people's pictures.  That's the only way I can understand having that many images.

Seriously though, who is this??????

Oooops, sorry for  being so dim.
We all know who's based in RSA and has American-style images produced by his factories.
Hold on to your SS shares - their price will rise again.  ::)
</speculation>


I think you're somewhat wide of the mark. According to Africa Studio's portfolio on FT they are based in Ukraine.
