My sales at BigStock over the last year.

I notice the efforts on bigstock's part to comeback to glory.

I hope they are going down. All they are doing is taking sales from better paying SS and test piloting terrible royalties.

Maybe the topic title should be Fall and Rise of Bigstock ?

Was there ever really a RISE of Bigstock?  They were always a second or third tier agency for me.  Slowly in decline, but from a low starting place.

Worst month ever there and SS. I'm starting to hate the summer months - will it pick up? Probably not. I will hate the whole year now ...

Sorry a bit off topic but still about bigstock. Just had a photo of mine downloaded 16 times within 18 minutes at either 1.5$ or 0.60$. Is it a glitch?? (I wish it wasn't)

I've had those before. Always on the 1st. I think it is a partner sale. Not sure why it's a single image, but it's good money. Haven't seen them in a few months. Congrats

Thank you, yes I guess it's a July report on partner sales, still the fact that it was just one image looks suspicious

There was never a great rise at BS for me although it was slightly better the past couple of years.  However this year so far the monthly average is the worst since 2011 so they definitely seem to be dropping.

Yep mine rose for a while maybe a year ago, but this year has been steadily declining

Used to pay 50c a download until SS bought them. Nothing but fall for me. I left.

Bigstock is generally slow for me - slow enough that I had been forgetting to check my sales there for months now. (I confess my port is tiny there, as it is everywhere else, for that matter.) I saw this thread and thought 'Oh, that's right! I forgot all about Bigstock!', and logged in to check my earnings. Lo and behold, I got an EL in June! Could've knocked me over with a feather.  I should add that it was my only sale in June, though...lol.

My sales at Bigstock have increased significantly lately, and so have the prices. No reason to count them out yet.
