Sales Across The Board

[brm1949]

Ok, I know that my portfolio of wildlife and nature isn't a major need in microstock, but it's the 15th of the month and I'm down 28% across the board.Haven't  been this slow for quite sometime.Anyone else having a disastrous month?

[Mantis]

I am. I will be 50% down compared to last month if the trend continues. Dt way down, SS down considerably, Istock down a lot. I think we are seeing the summer slump.

Down everywhere, its going to be a tough month.

Down everywhere, its going to be a tough month.

Three months, probably.

Then, hopefully, things will improve.

I have seen an unbelievable drop since the beginning of this year. Seen nothing like it since I started and I've been in it since almost the beginning of microstock. Coupled with the terrible currency exchange rates for me at the moment it's proving to be a bad year so far!

Summer slowdown.  Things will pick up in September.

'Tis the time of the year to go out and create photos while the sky is blue and the trees are green so that when Winter rolls around, you have a large body of work to edit while it's cold outside and the sky is gray and the trees are bare of their leaves.

It's busy season!
