These are the final figures for January

SS 43.1%
DT 15.8% BME

FT 9.6%
BS 9.4% BME
StockXpert 7.4%
123 6.3% BME
iS 6.1%

FP 1.8% BME
CanStockPhoto 0.1%

2nd best month so far for micro earnings

October 2007 still the best it was a very good month at SS.

SS 37%
up 10% from December
down 18% from BME in June

IS 17%
up 12% from December
down 54% from BME in March

DT 14% BME 1 EL
up 30% from December
up 9% from BME in June

FT 11%
down 4% from December
down 15% from BME in September

StockXpert 8%
down 30% from December
down 34% from BME in April

BigStock 5%
up 42% from December
down 22% from BME in March

LO 4% 1 EL
up 100% from December
down 29% from BME in July

123RF 4%
down 20% from December
down 36% from BME in November

These percentages could change with 123RF making a dramatic increase, because I have three EL sales that mysteriously went missing.

I'm also with FP and CanStockPhoto, but the earnings are so minuscule that I don't track them. Only sites that gross $50+ (the average monthly payout) at least every other month are tracked.

IS   51% (BME, Up over triple from Dec)
SS   33% (BME, Up almost double due to EL)
FT   7% (BME, Up by 25%)
DT   4% (Down by over half)
StockXpert   2% (BME, Up almost double)
BigStock   1% (Down by half)
123RF   1% (Up by 50%)
SV   2% (Up by Double)
LO   <1% (Dying)
AB   0% (Dead)
FP   0% (Dead)

Jan 08 is BME by almost double driven mostly by Istock. Istock is absolutely rocking. SS is doing very well. FT is growing slowly. StockXpert is finally waking up. The rest I'm beginning to wonder if it's worth my time uploading to anymore.

EDIT: A couple of late corrections after more sales

I am thinking the same that except SS, IS, FT, StockXpert , 123rf and DT uploading to other sites is a waist of time for me.

SS 60%
the rest: IS, FT, StockXpert , 123rf and DT.

Jan=BME (+ 10% compared to previous BME=Nov 07)
300+ images

iStock 45,9% (BME)
shutterstock 15,5%
digitalstock.de 12,5%(BME, German site)
panthermedia 7,9% (BME)
dreamstime 7,7%
stockxpert 7,1%
other (bs,ft,123rf) 3,2%

As said by Nazdravie: "istock is absolutely rocking"!!!

Very disappointing results and declines at dreamstime, stockxpert, shutterstock.

Surprising good resuls at digitalstock and panthermedia despite low number of uploads (so far <90 images).

Results are something to think about regarding future upload strategies...(see also thread "are things going well in microstock")

epixx · « **Reply #7 on:** February 01, 2008, 00:43 »

Here are my figures:

SS: 32% (down from 48% Jan 07)

StockXpert: 5%
BS: 4%
Scanstock: 3% (BME)
123: 2%
CreS: 2%
FP: 1%
LO: 1% (BME)
SV: 1% (BME)

Totally, I'm up 69% from last year, SS went up 15%, the total of the others went up 116%.

Freezingpictures · « **Reply #8 on:** February 01, 2008, 02:57 »

IS 30,5%

Panthermedia 12,3% (Sales notifications I got in January, are actually sales of December)
DT 7,96%
Ft 7,75%
Alamy 7,29%
StockXpert 6,86% (really bad month for StockXpert, even slower than in December..)

Energyonline 4,25%
123RF 1,47%
BS 0,44%
LO 0,38%
SP 0,06%

BME ever but unusual poor month for StockXpert and Fotolia. Looking forward to Feburary.

sharpshot · « **Reply #9 on:** February 01, 2008, 03:44 »

My third BME. It was a good month for me with FT and BigStock.

SS   38.48%
is   21.23%
FT   11.40% BME
StockXpert   8.08%
BigStock   7.03% BME
DT   6.30%
123   2.57%
Crest   1.83%
Most   1.77%
LO   1.31%

Mellimage · « **Reply #10 on:** February 01, 2008, 04:29 »

Overall a BME, even though it didn't look like that at the beginning of the month. Overall my earnings increased by 36% compared to December 07. Today marks my 1st anniversary of being in microstock - so I do not have any comparative data to years before. But the increase is right about where Yuri predicted it to be.

SS 35,0% (BME helped by one EL)
FT 29,0% (BME)
IS 27,1% (a little disappointing, number of downloads was a 3rd less than in December, income was better though)
DT 8,4% (BME - but I am still building my portfolio over there)
LO 0,5% (after 4 months of not selling anything - I just had another sale - but I wonder if it is worth uploading - the return for uploading at DT is much better).

rene · « **Reply #11 on:** February 01, 2008, 04:30 »

IS 36% (BME)
SS 31%
FT 9%
DT 9% (Down by half)

hey all

DON'T FORGET TO VOTE

Freezingpictures · « **Reply #14 on:** February 01, 2008, 05:20 »

I have not voted yet, but will, I tried this time to vote more than on just earnings, but this will not work somehow with Internet Explorer. So I will wait until I have time to do it on the other computer with another browser. Maybe you can fix this?

leaf · « **Reply #15 on:** February 01, 2008, 05:55 »

ahh, thanks for letting me know. i will see if i can get that fixed.

DanP68 · « **Reply #19 on:** February 01, 2008, 07:13 »

I hit my goal of $200 in January!

It was a fantastic comeback after the slow holiday start.

Total $200.86

Shutterstock 45% BME
iStockPhoto 21%
Dreamstime 11% BME
Fotolia 10% BME
BigStock 7%
StockXpert 4%
123RF 2%
LuckyOliver 0.1%
FeaturePics 0%

Shutterstock earnings were driven by a massive upload campaign on my part. I added 65 images to my portfolio in January. It is not likely I will add nearly as many in February, so I expect earnings to take a substantial hit.

So close, Ldambies, so close! February is the month you break through.

Honestly if you would have asked me a few days ago, I would have said I would finish around $196-$197. It took a lot of sales the last 2 days to get past $200.

MicrostockExp · « **Reply #22 on:** February 01, 2008, 07:32 »

Yes the last days were pretty good, hope I will have more midstock sales new month to break this $200

Time for you to work on the $ 300 then:)

Argus · « **Reply #23 on:** February 01, 2008, 07:35 »

Here are mine:

SS : 85,26%
Dreamstime : 5%
Fotolia : 2,57%
Stock expert : 5,60%
123rf : 1,57%

I only wish SS wasn't that important for me, i'm now working to put more of my portfolio on the other sites (1000 to go for dreamstime, with 700 or so allready uploaded in january, so i hope that will have some effect for february and Fotolia.. pfft .. lagging behind some 1700 images.. i really need more hours in a day :-) )
