IS 100%

BME $ & dls

June was my BME for both $ & dl!

I am experiencing a serious decrease  at DT  50% down in general and this must have been due to the changes they made to the search engine.for the past 4 months  I noticed a severe declining trend.

SS is also way below than it's average and with all the tax issues I  am not sure if I should carry on uploading. 

I have no idea what is going to happen to StockXpert  it is also  down about %50

FT has always been a steady earner for me but I  see drop of sales there too but  not as bad as others it must be due to summer slowdown

Is is by far   my best earner right now.  all these facts pushing me the idea of exclusivity  but I still haven't made up my mind yet .

over all it wasn't a good month

I still find it amazing that fintastique contributes NOTHING to this forum except for one thread a month and people respond to it, especially when it only asks for earnings breakdowns

IS 36% almost BME
FT 28%
SS 19% dissapointing was not that bad for many many month
DT 12,5% pretty good month.
StockXpert  less than 4% was expected, gets each month worse

June 2009 was a very good month. The summer slowdown has started but I did not feel it because of an EL at Snapixel. June had a small decrease compared to the last month with 4%. But I had an increase of 377% compared to last years June.



Snapixel = 43%
SS = 24%
StockXpert = 10%
FT = 8%
DT = 4%
123RF = 3%
Featurepics = 2%
BigStock = 2%
SSP = 1%
SV = 1%
ISP = 1%
Photo Society = 1%
CanStockPhoto < 1%
FM < 1%
YM < 1%

This month was almost exactly even with the last two.  Which I guess considering the economy and time of year is really good news. 

OTOH having added about 300 new images it would have been nice to see a bit of a bump.  Kind of lends credence to the idea of running to stay in place. 

Still, no complaints.  Here's the breakdown:

Istock    39% (slightly up)
FOT       16%
SS         15%
DT         14% (BME by a hair)
StockXpert         8% (second good month in a row.  Those sales will be missed)
BigStock         3% (WM this year.  Steadily losing ground here.)
123         2%
Canst       1%
Crest       1%

Hah, I turned 123rf red again 

BME and a little milestone reached

IS + SS = 70%
IS + SS + DT = 80%

a detailed report in Pixels Away blog
 

With the help of three ELs (2 at FT and 1 at SS) this became the second best month of the year.

Breakdown:
FT: 66%
IS: 12%
SS: 15%
DT: 6%

Now let's see if I can make some arrows turn green.

I agree, 39% for one month doesn't mean much when one best match change can cut istock earnings in half.  My earnings are much more predictable on the other sites.  I also like selling RF on higher priced sites.

This was my worst month this year, and my second worst in the past 12 months.  IS and DT were fine, just other sites sank.  FT had good sales, but 40% were subs and a large portion of credit sales were XS - differently from previous months and hopefully just a passing thing.
