This was my first summer in microstock, and I think I experienced the summer slump that many have posted about. I had month-over-month growth right up until June, then July and August were fairly flat. But starting the several days in August, I've seen a huge jump across nearly every site. (Have to find some wood to knock.) Is everyone else experiencing a big post-summer rise?
-
Not spectacular for me so far anyway.
I did enjoy a very good August so I can't complain.
Fingers crossed, sales should become steady enough from here on.
-
June was horrible but July and August were stellar, especially at DT and SS.
-
Too early to tell for sure. Sept. started with a holiday weekend, so that was slow. Then Tuesday sales shot up from people returning to work.
I imagine it will take a week or two more for a pattern to emerge.

Slow for me, projections would forecast a bad month, especially at DT, which was my best performer last month.

Seeing similar here. Sept looks like it's going to be a a bit of a let down, especially at SS. I was looking for things to pick up a little, even after some decent and steady sales all during the "off" season.
But its early yet! And Xmas stuff is continuing to sell well.
-
istock only: picking up from dismal July/August, but way below this time last year in downloads, like every other month this year so far. :'(

I did not feel the summer slump this year.
July was a BME for me... until August which due to Vetta sales (IS) and a very nice EL, became my newest BME.
Sept. however is off to a mediocre start. Probably due, as Lisa pointed out, to the the long holiday weekend at the start.

You will start to see it increase, Oct is when I notice stronger sales. I think people get in the spending mood because of Christmas
-
Mine are deff. going up across all my sites...except for BigStock.

In first 10 days projecton
Shutter is steady
but Dream and iStock seems to bee BME (but I think they always doing better in first days of the month and than slows down) so everything is as usual.
Xperts are doing well and I hope it will not be they last snatch.
Fotolia first week is very weak than last 3 days they are woke up (hope its only problem in lag server data)?!
All other I am looking and the end of the month.
Conclusion
It will bee few percent better than last month :)

my first sell ever at bigstock came on the 4th. none since but too early to tell.
