Something very odd for me.

90% of my sales for 2024 were from the 1st to the 14th of January. Now I am down to very few sales for this week. These were not Christmas sales.

Has anyone else experienced this change in downloads this week?

1st to the 14th of January: 14 full days
15 to beginning 18 of January: 3 full days
1st to the 14th of January: 14/17*100= 82.35%

Ok, you did 90% of sales for 82.35% of time. Very odd for you?

Very usefull topic...

Sales are really good this week at Adobe, especially due to increased amount of > 1$ ones. So I wouldn't worry, your sales will pick up again

right, ms sales charts look more like a picket fence than a smooth curve - which makes anything less than a running average pure random noise

Lousy - especially shutterstock. But at least a Minimum better than last week.

Adobe has almost quadrupled its revenue this week compared to shutterstock's revenue since the beginning of the year. Nevertheless, I also find it sluggish there. Even though there was a pleasing $49.50 download today.

I don't know the numbers at istock yet.

Adobe good. SB good. SS bad. P5 bad.

the week starting Jan 15 was horrible for me, I have nearly made as much so far this week (monday afternoon). Hopefully it was just a one-off.

My sales are low enough that it probably isn't statistically very relevant, but it is painful to have such a poor showing, as the general trend on Adobe has been good compared to everywhere else.

AS sales slightly up RPD usual .7

SS down about 60-70% mostly due to lack of non-subs shown as RPD .32 down from usual .7

income higher from AS than SS for first time in a year. my AS sales have been steady over last year so they only beat SS when SS sales decline. over last year, SS sales rose by about 10%

AS portfolio rose by 1000 images, slow because of continued batch rejects
for months last year.

SS portfolio rose by 4000 - higher number since about 1/3 of my images are SS editorial. (AS sometimes accepts these - eg when it's a barely visible skier or a crowd in background

Well, it was like someone took a dive off a steep cliff. But now they are slowly increasing.

Perhaps people didn't feel like working (and subsequently using their credits to get assets) for the first half of January...
