So how was your August?

Also, be sure to vote in the poll.  Hopefully we can get a few more agencies with at least 50 votes

Mine is attached below.  I'm looking forward to the fall months

umm.. yep.. it is corrected now

My numbers are insignificant in all ways imaginable, but I am actually quite happy with iStock this August (passing Shutterstock). I just wish they would allow single images exclusives, and I would gladly hand over any image they would accept.

August was a BME for me    Istock,shutterstock up dreamstime down on last month.
Earnings from dash for cash were an added bonus aswell.

BME for SS, IS, DT, GLO . . . . . . . . . . zeros for FP, YAY, 3dS, CS.  What does that tell me?  At least for me its a bi-polar world.

Yep BME for me at IS as well - though being my first full month exclusive there it would have been ugly if it hadn't been.

Percentages are much easier now too:
Alamy (RM): 4%
Istock: 96%

BME if extra $ from Veer are included

IS up, but still below BME (March 2010)
SS up (a slight grow over last year, but with a lot month to month fluctuations)
DT up, but a way below May/June level
FT down in earnings, up in download numbers

other sites up/down, more regular sales from DP

Sales were down 1% on July and down 23% on August 2009.  One thousand images added in the past year.  Interestingly Price Per DL sank from $1.03 in Aug 2009 to .97 August 2010. 

Here's my breakdown:

ISP   39%
SS   18%
DT   15%
Fot   20%
BigStock   4%
123   2%
Crest   0%
CanStockPhoto   2%
Almy   0%

i include footage sales in my SS

 ss   37.39%
pond video   19.76%
dream   11.25%
foto   8.81%
big   7.90%
123   7.90%
istock   3.95%
3d studio   2.43%
yay   0.61%
stockx   0.00%
deposit   0.00%
feature   0.00%

about average for the year -  better than july, but not quite up to 1st qtr

s

Fairly static for me. August was 3% down on July and, more importantly, 6% down on Aug 2009. At least the situation over the last 4 months has been steady rather than an accelerating decline. I'd uploaded about 600 new images by the end of July, about as many as I normally upload over a full year, representing an increase in portfolio size of about 15%.

Percentages for August as follows (with Aug 2009);

IS    34  (39)
SS   30  (26)
FT   20  (15)
DT   13  (11)
BigStock  3.5 (1.8 )

Fingers crossed for rising sales for September onwards.

BME with a 122% increase from Aug 09.

IS  30%
SS  29% BME
Veer  17% BME
DT  9%
CanStockPhoto  6% BME
FT  5%
BS  3%
123RF  2%

August is the 2nd best month of the year. Almost double of last year. I still have a small port though, so not the best indicator. Lots of Bigstock sales this month, which is unusual.

$1000 from all micro, SS best by a mile, DT and IS up considerably. Everything else constant. Alamy added an extra $500+.

Helped out my traditional macro income!
