Fotolia and Pond5 have slowly been gaining on Shutterstock in sales for me in the last couple months, but right now it's in 4th place.  Are you guys seeing the same?  I know the poll on side bar here doesn't show that.  Here's my order right now:
1) Videoblocks
2) Pond5
3) Fotolia
4) Shutterstock

1) Envato
2) Pond5
3) Artbeats Express
4) Fotolia

That's not how the months normally end up for me though... hard to say for certain, but Videoblocks will probably come second, Pond5 third, and Shutterstock/iStock pretty much tying for fourth.

Interesting.  This is the first I've heard of success with Artbeats Express.

Yep... 'early in the month variance' strikes again. Now it's...

Keep in mind I have to estimate the Artbeats earnings... as it's a subscription based service, and your earnings depend on number of downloads, you never know exactly what you'll get until the end of the month. The lowest I've had was an average of $7.5 per download, the maximum was about $22.50 and the average is usually about $12.50 to $15.00

I have noticed that the average I get per sale, has been dropping over the past few months though. I'm guessing more people are downloading more stuff recently, trying to make sure they get their money's worth each month. 

Video only.
For me SS was always number one and kept constantly increasing until the end of the year. Since jan 1 it suddenly died: really horrible 6 weeks, I don't understand why (certainly a major change in algorithm and website).
Pond 5 died exactly when their membership thingy started and hasn't been a factor for me since last May.
Fotolia has increased a lot. If only SS would come back from the coma things would be nice

First time I hear of Artbeat Express.
Is anyone else uploading there?

It's reasonably new, started about a year ago I think. Subscription only. I don't have masses of sales there, only between $25 and $125 a month. On the bright side, I had a top selling file there for a few months when they first started, so they invited me to upload to the main Artbeats site. HD clips go for about $199 to $299 each there. No sales yet though!

Clips are instantly published on Artbeats Express, which is nice, if slightly worrying.

On a side note, but still kind of related... would be nice if they could add VideoBlocks to the Microstock Poll result... see where it's at in the list. Although it might not be in the top tier, I'd be surprised if it wasn't somewhere in the middle tier, so I think it deserves a place in the poll. Although... maybe it's being left out as it's video only?

Yes, I believe that video only agencies don't get much attention here.
99% of people here are in still images, not a lot of footage people

Everyone knows all the cool kids are doing video!
