Title: The June Breakdown
Post by: ichiro17 on July 01, 2006, 09:24
Well, June is over.  It wasn't that bad for me considering its my 2nd month - I tripled my 1st month's earnings (which is nice, and I plan to try to triple June's earnings in July - who knows) and Shutterstock has emerged as the top dog.  iStock is next on my list.  Lets see what happens.

Anyhow, here's my breakdown (in brackets is the all-time breakdown)

Bigstock - 7% (8% overall)
Shutterstock - 42% (32% overall)
Dreamstime 20% (25% overall)
Fotolia - 8% (8% overall)
FeaturePics - 8% (6% overall)
123RF - 8% (17% overall)
StockXpert - 7% (5% oveall)

These % were done by Excel, so if its 1 percent off (like out of 101% or something) my apologies.

I hope everyone is doing well.  Good luck for July.

It has been a good month.  Not quite as good as last month but is better if you exclude the two extended license sales that I got.

Below are percentages for the month and since I began so you can see that they are pretty consistant:

32%   28% shutterstock (http://submit.shutterstock.com/?ref=60535)
19%   23% dreamtime (http://www.dreamstime.com/res125558)
14%    9% fotolia (http://www.fotolia.co.uk/partner/39857)
 7%    6% istockphoto (http://www.istockphoto.com/index.php?refnum=Jakich) 
 6%   12% bigstockphoto (http://www.bigstockphoto.com/?refid=ip416bLuq1)
 5%    5% 123RF (http://www.123rf.com/src_cjphoto)
13%   10% StockXpert (http://www.stockxpert.com/?ref=CJPhoto)
 0%    0% Canstock (http://www.canstockphoto.com?r=16626)
 4%    6% Featurepics (http://www.featurepics.com/Authors/Images273.aspx)
 
shutterstock (http://submit.shutterstock.com/?ref=60535) and dreamtime (http://www.dreamstime.com/res125558)  are still my best two.
 
However, my pick of the month is fotolia (http://www.fotolia.co.uk/partner/39857).  Sales are increasing and they are growing at a great speed - they will probably be the first to 1 million photos so that whould attract buyers.

Not considering Shutterpoint, as it's not microstock:

Fotolia: 34%
Dreamstime: 22%
iStock: 15%
StockXpert, Big Stock and 123RF: 7% each
others: 8%

BigStockPhoto  7%
Dreamstime   12%
Featurepics 6%
Fotolia  11%
iStockPhoto  15%
StockXpert  8%
Shutterstock  42%

I added my portfolio to shutterstock this month and it was amazing.  Of course they usually sort by newest images first so I assume my sales will die down quickly.  But I'm impressed with Shutterstock, they almost doubled my income.
