SS further slightly down, even from the worst October in years
FT slightly better, but still far from BME
DT well above average
123 slightly above average
Alamy 3rd BME
istock can't really get worse, lowest number of regular downloads in 7 years

i think that the search engine switches old and new good-sellers through the year hence someone is performing better and someother not in the same period ... maybe those who said that was WME in 2 month will have back normal sales...but it's just suggestions....

WMY. Almost identical to Nov. last year. Would have been much worse if it wasn't for high-value SODs from SS.

November was so gooddd

but December and January must be low sales because of holiday

HalfFull · « **Reply #29 on:** December 01, 2016, 08:30 »

FT, SS & 123 all had BME.

SS is catching FT which is a little surprising. FT has been losing a little ground over the last couple of weeks or more. Probably SS improving their search and FT taking the foot off the gas. Either way, SS closing that gap quickly now but, all in all, they all performed really well this month!

usually who writes BME lately is just because he/she has 300/400 pics and 15$ per month

I only have 4,400 images on SS and well over 5,000 plus images on 20 other companies. So far I have made $3,500 for November plus whatever iStock comes in with the subs, GI, and pp- usually from $200 to $500 extra thus could hit only $4,000.

Gulp. I didn't really keep good records in 2006 but since 2007 this was my WNE (Worst NOVEMBER ever).

Zero Talent · « **Reply #35 on:** December 01, 2016, 11:25 »

Not bad at all.
Possibly the second best month ever, once November PP sales will be accounted for.

spike · « **Reply #36 on:** December 01, 2016, 11:54 »

-15% compared to Nov 2015

And I increased my portfolio by 40%.
These aren't small fluctuations - my portfolio has 5 digits.

Still waiting on PP and other stuff from iStock to compare to Oct 16, but if I assume similar PP results, -5% compared to previous month.

Given that I added so much assets in the previous months and that my earnings are dropping is worrying. Either I'm doing something wrong, or the agencies are. I'm sure the quality of my work could be improved - that's always the case - the point is, I didn't have to aim for super-high quality before, and now it seems like it's necessary. Or maybe even the "best ever" assets wouldn't help, and it's just luck in regards to the search engine. Dunno.

great November! especially from the RM/RF agencies. SS was very good! funny but last say six months the final result have only differed by a few dollars. It seems our monthly income is pretty much decided beforehand.
Adobe/FT prioducing steady results. DT was also beginning to show some life.

...or that they work hard on every aspect of stock (new opportunities, SEO, subject, quality etc.) and continue to improve.

Usually people who make statements such as this have zero evidence to base it on

Ha, Ha! Good one! I like it!
But I can only assure you that all these bars are inside the 4 $digits zone!
Fell free to figure out the right scale!

Very good at 123 and Fotolia, Very bad at SS. Average everywhere else

Good at SS
bad at DT and istock
average in Fotolia

PixelBytes · « **Reply #48 on:** December 02, 2016, 08:45 »

Amazingly good at FT. They have passed istock by and almost even with SS. Good news because it will make up some of the loss of income when I quit istock. 123, for me, took a dump. My normal sales there are around $400/month. This just over $100.

Overall bad trend tho. First Nov ever that was lower than October, and almost 20% down on last Nov.

etudiante_rapide · « **Reply #49 on:** December 02, 2016, 09:41 »

mine was the best ever ever .. $11k

until they quietly admit it was a scr*wup as usual...
and went back to 50% shortfall for all-time november.
