Yes. Deals like the one with Facebook where pictures go into the little ads - free to the advertiser and we get a sub royalty in the SOD column

I don't think I have had a "good" SOD in over a year. Usually they are about 2x subs, but plenty are at sub rates and almost all are below the on demand rate.

Yes the SO run about half the OD, but my SO are steady at 3 or 4 times any Sub. I don't know how people are getting these extra low Single and Other unless there are some large special package contracts being sold. Most of my work is photos if that means anything. Wondering if the low are the Illustrations?

Unlike previous months I've only had two SODS this April one for 61 cents and a 38 cent.

Like wise daily ODDS have just stopped this last 7 days

There's definitely something wrong over in the Empire State

They are there still..... had a coulple of close to $100 sales last month and one for $120 this morning. Just not as frequent as I'd like :-)
