So how was your August?

Also, be sure to vote in the poll.  Hopefully we can get a few more agencies with at least 50 votes

My numbers are insignificant in all ways imaginable, but I am actually quite happy with iStock this August (passing Shutterstock). I just wish they would allow single images exclusives, and I would gladly hand over any image they would accept.

August was down on last year but if I remove my earnings from StockXpert, I am up overall in 2010.  Perhaps this year isn't that bad, hopefully I will replace the lost earnings with StockXpert eventually and can get back to earnings growth.

August was a BME for me :)   Istock,shutterstock up dreamstime down on last month.
Earnings from dash for cash were an added bonus aswell.

BME for us at Istock (exclusives).

BME for SS, IS, DT, GLO . . . . . . . . . . zeros for FP, YAY, 3dS, CS.  What does that tell me?  At least for me its a bi-polar world.

Much better than expected month at Graphics Leftovers. I'm waiting on the Dash for Cash total so that will be part of September. I had a generally average month at SS, DT, and IS.

Yep BME for me at IS as well - though being my first full month exclusive there it would have been ugly if it hadn't been.

Percentages are much easier now too:
Alamy (RM): 4%
Istock: 96%

Quite a few surprises this month.  Fotolia and CanStock were way up thanks to ELs.  iS was way down, in part due to the nonarrival of PP earnings.  123 was way down, at least in part due to their search breakdown.  Had a good first month on Zoonar, following payout on their upload bonus.  Did a little better with Veer, with another 300 waiting for Dash for Cash reviews and my payout from that.

BME if extra $ from Veer are included

IS up, but still below BME (March 2010)
SS up (a slight grow over last year, but with a lot month to month fluctuations)
DT up, but a way below May/June level
FT down in earnings, up in download numbers

other sites up/down, more regular sales from DP

BME at iStock and 2nd best month this year overall.

I've been exclusive for 2 months now and I'm already back to my average earnings.

Sales were down 1% on July and down 23% on August 2009.  One thousand images added in the past year.  Interestingly Price Per DL sank from $1.03 in Aug 2009 to .97 August 2010. 

Here's my breakdown:

SS   18%
DT   15%
Fot   20%
BigStock   4%
123   2%
Crest   0%
CanStockPhoto   2%

              %   Aug'09
SS   41%   12%
IS   25%   -2%
DST   15%   10%
FT   31%   41%
GLO   0%   -
BGS   4%   -24%
123rf   4%   15%
CAN   1%   -
CC   0%   -
ALMY   1%   -25%

That's earnings.  If I look at the number of downloads, the picture is much less positive.  It's obvious that in my case, the EL's saved the month.

Fairly static for me. August was 3% down on July and, more importantly, 6% down on Aug 2009. At least the situation over the last 4 months has been steady rather than an accelerating decline. I'd uploaded about 600 new images by the end of July, about as many as I normally upload over a full year, representing an increase in portfolio size of about 15%.

Percentages for August as follows (with Aug 2009);

IS    34  (39)
SS   30  (26)
FT   20  (15)
DT   13  (11)
BigStock  3.5 (1.8 )

Fingers crossed for rising sales for September onwards.

I'm only at IS ... they recovered nicely in the last 2 weeks or so and I had BME ... if data from a tiny portfolio with miniscule earnings is any help ...  :D

BME with a 122% increase from Aug 09.

IS  30%
SS  29% BME
Veer  17% BME
DT  9%
CanStockPhoto  6% BME
FT  5%
BS  3%
123RF  2%

No need for an individual breakdown of site stats, when the most important number is this:

My earnings are down 28% from August 2009 despite having increased my portfolio by nearly 1/3.

 :(

August is the 2nd best month of the year. Almost double of last year. I still have a small port though, so not the best indicator. Lots of Bigstock sales this month, which is unusual.

For me, Alamy is going up, and the handful of micros I'm on are going down. It's time to focus more on RM.

(PC down, so, until replacement computer arrives, I'm using iPad to post. Please disregard if I suddenly seem to formally "Ignore" or "Report to Moderator" someone, since I can accidentally hit those links.)

$1000 from all micro, SS best by a mile, DT and IS up considerably. Everything else constant. Alamy added an extra $500+.

Helped out my traditional macro income!
