April 08 was a great month :

IS 43% (BME)
SS 19,%
FT 14,%
StockXpert 11% (BME)
DT 07% (BME)
123 03% (BME)
BS 03% (BME)

edit:a last minute EL changed the numbers slightly.so these are the updated figures

I think the voting categories are still a bit whacked - too many categories above $5k, not enough in the $1-5k range.

SS 51% SALES DOWN 50%
DT 33% SALES DOWN 50%

Not a bad month, best I've had so far this year anyway but still -29% off October 2007. SS picked up a lot and an EL on Fotolia made their figures better, onto May 08 we go....

DanP68 · « **Reply #9 on:** April 30, 2008, 23:44 »

I was absolutely thrilled with April 2008. Another personal BME, shattering the $300 mark for the first time at $342.

3 EL Sales were key, with 1 each at Fotolia, Shutterstock, and iStock. Without those EL's, it still would have been a BME but not quite to the $300 mark.

Shutterstock continued to lead my portfolio by a huge margin, beating iStock for the 4th consecutive month and 5th in the last 6th. Most pleasing is sales are not dropping off after the initial push. The forthcoming raise will increase the lead. Still lots of love for iStock, which produced a BME for the first time in a long time for me. Dreamstime was a little disappointing in April, but still solid. BigStockPhoto had a strong month too.

Among the laggards, 123RF continues to produce an abnormally low earnings per sale. They need to raise prices (again). Stockxpert is still floundering for me, now down to a mere 2% of total earnings.

Smaller sites on a "probationary period," MostPhotos and Crestock did not contribute to earnings save for a 25 cent sale at Crestock.

The Breakdown:

Shutterstock 38% (bme)
iStockPhoto 25% (bme)
Dreamstime 14%
Fotolia 11% (bme)
BigStockPhoto 7%
123RF 3%
Stockxpert 2%
Crestock 0.1%
MostPhotos 0%

major 'ebbs and flows' april was all over the place.

overall if it had been a 31 day month, I would have scraped in a BME for micro sales

IS 45% BME
SS 17% Down (only 70% of last month)
DT 15%

123 6% BME
FT 5.5% BME
StockXpert 3.5% Down (only 70% of last month)
BigStock 2.5% Down (only 65% of last month)

FP 1.3% BME (150% of last month)
ZYM! 1.1% BME (pretty good for less than 10% of portfolio approved in beta site)
SCAN 1% BME

CRE .7%
MOST .6% BME
SNAP .5% BME
CAN .4% Down

Most, scan and snap have 55-60% of portfolio.

aargh, always the way someone comes in with a 30c sub sale at 3 seconds to midnight on a site just after you have finished the tallies...

travelstock · « **Reply #13 on:** May 01, 2008, 01:52 »

Overall BME even though my downloads were down a fraction on last month. I'm still edging up towards the $1K mark and getting well within striking distance. Hoping may cracks it for me

SS: 45% BME (by a bee's willy)
IS: 39% BME - +17%
DT: 9% BME - +17%
FT: 4.5% Still not so lucky in the lucky dip search
BS: 2.5% 2 promising weeks followed by 2 weeks of next to nothing

Also 3 sales from Digitalstock.de from hardly any files online, although not included in the breakdown.

Still nothing from Snapvilliage, Cresock and I canned Canstock so nothing coming there.

Worst Month this year so far. FT dropped significantly. SS and DT were slower, only at IS it was a really good month.
Here is the breakdown:

FT: 25.5%
IS: 35.8% (2nd best month ever)
SS: 27.1%
DT: 11.6%
LO: 0.0%

Far off the 300$ mark - so congrats to DanP for making it.

I'm only at istock so it's 100 per cent of my earnings! Best month for dollars since July 2007 (which was abnormally high as I had an image of the week). Downloads, best for this year. Big increase in dollars per download, mainly as the ten credit vector sales are starting to kick in, and you don't need to get too many of those at silver exclusive pay rates to increase earnings very pleasantly.

jsnover · « **Reply #23 on:** May 01, 2008, 11:45 »

After many months (nearly a year, I think) in second or 3rd place, IS reclaimed the #1 spot this month for me.
IS- 25%
FT- 22
SS- 21
DT- 10
BigStock- 9
StockXpert- 8
123- 5

A good solid month, up over last month and April 2007 (13%)

fotografer · « **Reply #24 on:** May 01, 2008, 12:00 »

Fotolia 13%
Dreams     14%
Istock 24%
Shutterstock 32%
Stockxpert 12%
Bigstock     3%
123rf 2%
crestock     0%

BME at all sites except FT where it was 2nd BME because of a month when I made over 200$ commision in ELs.
