1.6 times more sales than in November. That is because I started with microstocks in the end of September and upload around 100 images a month. Still had not reach $100 per month, but it looks like in January I may do it.

Down With about 30 on most agencies. That’s normal for December. Last year was the same. January will be about 40% more then your December income if you have a big portfolio. The small portfolios are not so affected by general trends in the market.

SS - 26,25 %
DT - 3,27 %

Overall earnings were 30% below November, making my 7th best month in the year.
StockXpert and IS were again my best performers. Sadly subs sales were more significant this month at StockXpert (25% of downloads, making my overall $/dld drop from 85 to 61c).
Huge drop at FT (almost 50%), now my 5th earner. BME at Crestock, but mostly those poor subs sales. Not a bad month in 123RF (for my standards), but donating 3 images for the free download section didn't show any effect.
Not shown above because numbers are very small, I had sales in StockPhotoMedia for the past three months (1+1+2). Maybe the site is finally waking up?
Regards,
Adelaide
