Just read an interesting post at Shutterstock, speculating that the East Coast Snow Storm is affecting Microstock Sales.  Why Not?  I hadn't thought of it before but most businesses are closed.  I'm sure that includes buyers of our images. 

Here's hoping that 'work from home' catches on.   

Sales are down 10-15% from last week...  So, maybe.

My sales are down *hugely*, but only for today.

It isn't the whole East Coast.

The snowstorm from last week mostly affected VA, PA, and NJ.  NY wasn't affected much at all by last week's snowstorm.

Today's snowstorm is affecting a little more - from VA to MA.

So, while there might be some people that can't make it to work in those states, that is only a small percentage of the total U.S. population.

Are buyers mostly from east coast of America?

fwiw my SS sales are consistently higher during east coast business hrs

The SS people will think up just about anything to try and justify a sales slowdown. Many of the whiners there will post 20 replies to a really stupid thread, when that time could be more effectively used in creating new and different works.

I would say that the storm affected region reflects a narrow sector of SS sales. As far as people "working from home" in the affected areas, the power outages in the region right now are significant. No power=no work.
