July 2007 Earnings breakdown

(1/3) > >>

fintastique:
Well better than June not as great as May.

More earnings at every site compared to June with the exception of iStock who seem to be on a downwards trend not surprising really as they only received about 120 photos this month and the others got 742 photos and illustrations.

Shutterstock 51.6% BME  ;D

DT                  13.4%
Fotolia            8.0% *

123                   6.8% BME  ;D
StockXpert                  6.7%
BigStock                  6.3% BME  ;D

iS                      5.6% worst month of 2007  :'(  :'(

Featurepics      1.1%
CanStockPhoto                  0.3%
SPM                  0%

And not a single extended license sale anywhere  :'(  :'(

* I can't get any sensible results from the search engine but I am getting regular sales, so i continue to upload. Maybe slightly less DLs than the spring.
It is very annoying they include free image downloads in your total downloads and I had a few rogue free images which screw up the stats.

Sales are still in a slump, with total income about halfway between that of May and June. I'm beginning to see signs of recovery ... I hope.

I don't plot my stuff monthly; instead I use a compounding of average weekly numbers so anything I post here wouldn't make sense.

A quick look shows that SS was a BME (by quite a margin), IS was near to peak levels, and the others were so-so.  FT is picking up steam.  BigStock is a complete waste of time (for me) with an uneconomic return; even their image review times have now sunk to being the worst (eight days and counting).

Overall I guess July was 20% or so higher than May and June.

Looking at the page view charts shows IS still falling (and at levels of two years ago) but SS near peak levels; the others are falling apart from 123rf which appears to be stable.

Chart patterns suggest a bad August probably heading towards a very bad week of Labour Day; August looks like being easily the worst month of the year this year, but hopefully after that we can look forward to rising activity.

Freezingpictures:
Nice chart Sharply! My guess is with your productivity you will earn more in August. However for my portfolio I probably will see a decline in earnings in August.
This month was exceptional. Last month was BME, this month again BME with an increase of 40% of total earnings from last month. How could that happen? I do not know, just being lucky with a lot of Els at SS and being featured at DT I guess.

For the first time I am close to 1000$/ month.
What holds the future? We will see, I just uploaded my first people images. Lets see how they sell.
