How vulnerable is your income? How many sites bring in more than 10% of your total income?

With sites going high-wire with commission cuts, etc., how vulnerable are you if one of your top income sites act up or should close down?

1 site , SS

and FAA but that doesnt count here

The big 4 here, but Fotolia is exactly 10% so if things drop much worse I will be down to 3 that qualify.

SS and IS

Microbius · « **Reply #5 on:** December 19, 2012, 04:03 »

SS 28%
IS+TS 16.3%
FL 10%
XXX 8%
123 8%
DT 7.35%
CanS 4%
DP 2.6%
BS 2%
GL 1.5%
Veer <1%

So 3 sites, but 3 others around 8%

leaf · « **Reply #6 on:** December 19, 2012, 06:15 »

only 2 for me.

SS 44%
Fotolia 17%
iStock 8%
etc..

Perry · « **Reply #7 on:** December 19, 2012, 06:53 »

Three for me (SS, IS, DT)
FT, Veer and Alamy are just below 10%.

Great spread then! About the safest one can get.

I would judge 1 and 2 as high risk, unless you have a fair bundle just below 10% to back those up.

My stuff only sells on SS and I have hit my roof there as well. I need to come up with better stuff, because my DLs have stagnated for the last 3 months. Although I am almost sure our portfolios are rotated and has something to do with it as well. I dont have any style nor do I submit holiday stuff. So my sales are always the same.

SS and IS for me. DT is in third place generally but hasn't been solidly above 10% since early this year. I'm not on FT (at their choosing, not mine).

Pocketstock won't be helping spread my risk - it's my lowest earner at 31 cents lifetime earnings

Karimala · « **Reply #11 on:** December 19, 2012, 16:39 »

SS 34% (up from 33% in 2011)
DT 12% (same as 2011)
IS 11% (down from 18% in 2011)

Fotolia was 14% of my income and my #3 earner last year. This year, it dropped to a measly 4% and placed 8th.

Watching my micro income drop through the floor at some of the sites and an overall micro drop of 12% from last year, I'm now diversifying my portfolio to include POD and RM outlets in order to not be dependent on the micros anymore. Last year, micro accounted for 91% of my income...this year, in large part thanks to diversification, it's down to 78% with RM coming in at 15% and POD at 7% (up from last year's 6% and 2% respectively).

I voted one, because it's just 1 usually (SS)

Some months, 2 or 3 (FT and/or IS), but it's happening rarely lately

disorderly · « **Reply #13 on:** December 19, 2012, 17:20 »

For me it's SS, 123, DP, and PD. Of course, SS is way ahead of the rest.

cascoly · « **Reply #14 on:** December 19, 2012, 18:06 »

i usually have it spread among 3 - but only SS os there every month

the other 2 come from DT, alamy, pond5, sometimes big or 123

Bauman · « **Reply #15 on:** December 19, 2012, 18:44 »

Four Agencies

SS 35%
IS+PP 23%
FT 19%
DT 10%

123 6%

stockmarketer · « **Reply #16 on:** December 20, 2012, 11:30 »

SS = 32.3%
FT = 21.1%
DT = 13.2%
IS = 12.8%
CanStockPhoto = 5.2%
BigStock = 4.9%
123 = 4.4%
DP = 4.4%

But these figures are all-time.

If I crunched the numbers for the past year, I think FT would each come down a few percentage points each, and BigStock, DP and 123 would be closer to 10%.

heywoody · « **Reply #17 on:** December 20, 2012, 11:53 »

All of them except 123 so next year it will be all of them

flashon · « **Reply #18 on:** December 20, 2012, 12:01 »

Two for me:
SS & DT

rubyroo · « **Reply #19 on:** December 20, 2012, 12:02 »

LOL @ Heywoody

Three for me: SS, iS and DT

skubai · « **Reply #20 on:** December 20, 2012, 12:04 »
