Author Topic: May 2008 Earnings per Image at BigStockPhoto (Read 5901 times)

We are trying something a little different this month from the Earnings Ratings. Let's measure the amount of earnings per image you received at this agency during the month.

This is a pretty simple calculation. If you had $100 in earnings and 500 images online at BigStockPhoto, then you earned $0.20 per image ($100/500).

For simplicity you might want to use the # of images online at the start of May.

If you just joined the agency, you should probably abstain this month until you have a full month of earnings to measure. If we get enough participation, we might be able to better compare the earnings power of our agencies.

Dan

Shouldn't it be "less than 0.03"?

Regards,

$0.04

Worse than Crestock.

Yes Adelaide. Thanks for catching that for me!

"Mr. Blutowsky ... Zero point Zero" ("Dean Rooney" Quote from when he speaks to John Belushi in the Movie Animal House)

I had 122 images online there at the start of May and not a single sale for the entire month of May.

A whopping 0,055$. If the sales in June don't pick up I'll stop uploading there.

I'm around the 5c-6c per image camp too, but that is enough to keep me uploading. I like Bigstockphoto a lot. They are the only "Mom & Pop" agency in the Big 7, and I have always found them to be very friendly and supportive.

With my portfolio size, I get about $16 to $24 every month. Nothing great, but still nice. Enough for a payout every 45 to 60 days.

0.04.
May was a very poor month on BS. I was way down on earnings compared to the previous six months, and I uploaded quite a few.

0.04

Second best in 11 months ;-(

What is shocking is the very low viewing per image! If they had more buyer, BigStock would be a rocket high flyer.

I'm averaging $.033 per image per month. I just let things ride till mid November; then I request a payout. Actually I do that with all sites except 123RF which makes automatic payouts when I hit $50.

Thank you for this thread. I was thinking of uploading my portfolio at Bigstock, but now I wont. It seems to be ultra-low earner.

May was pretty poor there - 4 cents for me. Last November was 18 cents though; it seems they're very Christmas-heavy for me and the rest of the year is consistent, but low.
