Perhaps. But you are not taking into account the better search placement that you would get as an exclusive. I'm not sure how much of a difference that makes but I'm sure it's something. So being exclusive your RPD and your number of downloads should increase, not just RPD as you estimated.

didn't you go exclusive at is only a short while ago? (i remembered the drama with dt. Wink

) how are you finding your new status? is it all it's cracked up to be? vetta and better search placements? any other perks? (complimentary drinks and napkins in first class, eh)

SS 0.46
DT 0.77
FT 0.59
BS 0.77
123 0.79

but I had a nice BME in March anyway.
Probably, I specialize in XXsmall sizes.

lol! what's almost as annoying than subs are those xsmall credit sales at is. but the fact that el's are so rare makes me wonder if the is buyers are either individuals or small cos (if not xmall). in comparison, ss buyers are probably the bigger corporates, since els are so plentiful.

iStock only: $3.12 RPD. (some Vettas, a Vetta EL - whoop-de-doop - and an ordinary EL, averaged over January to March.
Of course, RPI is much lower

Still stuck on DT for another 2 and a half months. I will certainly post sharing my experiences when I can.

Really? So you find getting $0.19-$0.30 for a 300x400 sized image (0.1MP) more annoying than getting $0.35 or so for a maximum sized image (as high as 25MP)?

Not me. To me, one is ok compensation, the other is a rip-off.

Ha! Yes, I definitely prefer XXXL sales to XS sales. (Except, of course, when the XXXL sale is a sub sale on a non-size-based sub site!) Grin

from March (from start):
SS 0.42 - 0.32
IS 1.18 - 1.2 (partner program included)
FT 0.86 - 0.85
123RF 0.72 - 0.74
DT 0.76 - 0.77

pretty similar in fact, the others have small earnings so no big deal about RPD!

I didn't count any EL's because my earnings are small and would skew the numbers too much.

SS- 0.30
IS- 1.51
FT- 1.44
DT- 0.39 !!!(no wonder DT is one of my lowest earners, for some reason my stuff doesn't sell there)

I calculated it for IS, DT, FT, BigStock and 123RF, although the later is such a poor performer for me with just 4-5 dlds per month. The second group of DT and FT stas consider the non-subs only. Much nice numbers.

I was surprised in fact to see how well IS performed, but I wonder if FT would result in the best RPD if I were exclusive, thus being able to block subs and increase my prices, plus the higher commission. Not that I am considering exclusivity at all.

Hi All,

The best data I think to share to help educate each other is your return per image at these sites on a monthly basis. That would be the total dollar sales in one month divided by the number of images you have in your collection. What you made in actual money is what will tell us what returns are really like at different agencies and how well the subject of the photographer sells at each site. However some here have trouble sharing numbers and feel it is boasting. If anyone wants to hear my numbers please just e-mail me I would be happy to share my info.

Best,
Jonathan
