Title: May 2020 Earnings Report
Post by: Brasilnut on May 29, 2020, 06:17
Welcome back to another detailed monthly report during these increasingly strange times!

This will be the last report before the new Shutterstock schedule and will serve as a good benchmark to see just how far earnings will drop from June and then again from January 2021.

Sorry for being made redundant, man! I hope that it's only a temporary setback.

Since the decline and suicide of Shutterstock, I have found the steady rise in sales and earnings at AdobeStock. Anyone else noticed?

90% of my energy these days is focused on producing book covers for Arcangel and 4K video (to soon upload exclusively to Pond5). Even the micro leftovers I might just send them over to Wirestock as can't be bothered to keyword.

The rest is pretty much a waste of time imo. I'll do some breaking news but pretty quiet where I am currently, would be exciting/scary to be in the eye of the storm in the US at the moment! Looking forward to international travel soon, some great bargains out there.

Too early to tell. Will see at the end of the month.

I had a clip sale today for $12 when I would have normally earned around $18. So already feeling the pinch with the 33% reduction (I'm level 3 at 20% earnings only).

I would have probably bought myself a burger with the extra $6 but now I'm stuck with just the fries :(
