Well after a horribly slow start and all throughout Easter, things picked up towards the end of April.  Comparable to 2016 but that's not fantastic after a lot of uploading.  Shifting sands?  Shutterstock starting to slide against others including Fotolia perhaps.  May might give a clearer indication.

How was your April?

Surprisingly, income for April was pretty good;  best for the last 12 months on iStock (though that refers to March sales of course), and overall best income since Jan 2014, including video and RM, although again those mostly came from sales in prior months.

Still 15% down on BME but that's not too bad and at least it's on the up for once.

Remains to be seen whether or not it's just a blip!

I haven't done my stats workup yet, but like others I had a dismal first couple weeks due to Easter and Spring Breaks (I assume), but things picked up late in the month.  I'll finish below March, but still made a decent amount overall.

Istock was a surprise.  Ive been waiting to see what sales did before removing the rest of my port. The April payout for March was almost as much as I made before the changes. They came in as my third highest earning site and within a hundred or so $ of SS and FT. 

So far still making enough there to justify leaving my old stuff.  I expect this will bring me some heat here, but I made enough there to pay my mortgage.   If they keep selling my 5-8 years old pics and I don't see the expected drop in earnings,  I'll stay put.

BME! Mostly cause of my first premium license sale on pond5.

But strong on every site.
Good mix of new and old stuff

My almost 4 month saleless period even ended on videoblocks.
Just couple of sales and one refund, but now I know that i'm still visible there 😁

Best month since October.

SS - very good month (50% better than last April)
FT/AS - disappointing results
All the rest: average/normal (with a "+" for P5)

Biggest let down since 2013

A floating turd had more get up and go than SS

Second really bad month of the year. 
Down 48% compared to April 2016
Down 42% compared to March 2017
Shutterstock was worst month since Dec of 2012, and first month since then below $100.  SAD.
YTD down 20%compared to 2016.
Not seeing a Trump bump in sales in 2017, that is for sure. 

Haven't seen the Getty/iStock numbers yet, of course, but so far that is the only bright spot. 
123RF, Dreamstime are holding steady
Alamy is down
fotolia up slightly compared to beginning of 2016, but down from end of 2016.

Shutterstock is dreadful and getting worse.

For iS credits, the only month with fewer credit sales was Dec 2006. My first file was accepted on 19th of that month, so that's how bad April was. In March, I noticed that subs had fallen considerably in favour of premium access sales, at least for my port. It makes sense for them to push buyers towards these to cream off more of the money.

Alamy: stable. Another couple of months and my personal reality should settle a bit and free up time for occasional shoots.

I had to go back to March 2007 for a worse month.  Unbelievably bad.

Same here!

April was little less than march, but my 1st day of may is worse, I don't know what happened to sales, was it some holiday ?

1st day of may is labour day in several parts of the world

Bad

but good start in May (fingers crossed)

So far in 2017 SS a consistent 30% down on 2016 which is a worry.  FT, DT, DP CS very close to 2016. Good month on Canva, 123 and Alamy, but not enough to balance drop on SS.
