I am having a very good month (BME) with Bigstock...

mayaartist · « **Reply #1 on:** September 26, 2012, 14:44 »

I have a good month as well

I'm having a big BME there. Seeing daily sales this month. It's a weird month for me as Veer and Bigstock make about the same as IS now (thanks to the nosediving of IS).

I don't know if they have had a best match shift or something as I was thinking about starting a thread as sales are so bad for me there this month. Worse month since March 2011 and I am on track to earn half what I did last September.

fritz · « **Reply #4 on:** September 26, 2012, 18:01 »

Yes, they're up for the past two months

This thread belongs under Bigstock's own forum, but yes, the bit I make per month there actually doubled for me this month as well.

I didn't even know they had a forum. As for my month at BigStock, it was WAY down, then suddenly I got my BDE ever there yesterday. Something unusual must be going on.

They might be vaguely up for me over the last few months, but nothing dramatic (or that good).

They don't.

I had a BME there last month but this month is very slow - worse than usual.

WarrenPrice · « **Reply #10 on:** September 26, 2012, 20:10 »

Making sales but nothing special. I did notice something unusual, however. My last two sales were NEW uploads. My pattern at BS over 4 years has been that images seldom sell with less the six - 12 months in the database.
Not sure that is meaningful ... just unusual. $:-\$

luissantos84 · « **Reply #11 on:** September 26, 2012, 21:13 »

not even 10$ so far this month, as usual disappointing, 280$ since April 2009 sums it up pretty well

Bigstock.com forum on MSG just below 123RF in group of middle tier.

I was invited via bridge to BS and sales used to be really good but now its gone way down. I guess they like SS, changed their sort order and suddenly its just another low earner. Pitty.

tab62 · « **Reply #14 on:** September 27, 2012, 06:22 »

There is professional help for that Wim

baz777 · « **Reply #15 on:** September 27, 2012, 17:01 »

I have almost 1200 vectors on BS and make $10-$15 per month, I really don't know why I still bother, but I do!

About the same -- 1300 images but less than $10 a month.

THP Creative · « **Reply #17 on:** September 28, 2012, 03:03 »

I really don't understand why this site under-performs so badly. I had high hopes when SS bought them. It hasn't turned into any real benefits, at least not with my port.

BaldricksTrousers · « **Reply #18 on:** September 28, 2012, 03:19 »

Still only 60% of what I got there in my BME about five years ago. A very unimpressive performance. I've even wondered recently whether having files transferred directly from SS could undermine their search ranking.

Bridge to BS. Yes I am beginning to wonder myself. Before the SS change to relevancy and then as they "say" back to popular, sales at BS were steady. Not so now.

My sales went up when they moved the rest of my port over as previously I only had less than half my port there. If you already had most of your port at BS when they did the bridge thing then you probably lost sales due to a lot more competition from people like myself that suddenly had their whole port there. I think that there were a lot of people that didn't even upload to BS before that had whole ports moved over.
My sales have taken a nose dive this month though which as so many people are reporting better sales then I'm guessing that there was a major best match change this month.

Hi there,
BigStock contributor since sometime August 2009.
Current port - 620 images or so.
Lifetime earnings - 287 dollars
Normally less than 10 dollars a month (sometimes less than 5 dollars)
But this month I agree with those who have had a BME.
I've had a BME too.
For some reason this month was very good for me.
It may well have been a fluke, but I will take it and hope it continues

Best,

dbvirago · « **Reply #22 on:** September 28, 2012, 07:27 »

This month is average, but better than Canstock, Fotolia and way better than IS. Last month was very good

Dan · « **Reply #23 on:** September 28, 2012, 08:29 »

A while back i had a $1.00 sale. Since - not even a sub. I'm still try to build up a small port so may there's hope.

Jo Ann Snover · « **Reply #24 on:** September 28, 2012, 09:46 »

August & September have been much better (not good, but August was twice July's earnings, so something shifted). I haven't uploaded there in many months as it seemed to be a waste of effort, but if this continues, I might finish putting my portfolio there
