Title: What day in DEC did your graphs top out - 2007
Post by: leaf on November 24, 2008, 02:57

I guess we all keep different graphs whether it be 1 week average or 2 week or whatever, but still, for interest sake... which date did your graph reach it's top day before it fell drastically due to christmas (last year - 2007)

I just looked at iS, since at that time I did not do daily stats. Maximum was Dec 11th.  And sales were normal till December 21st.

Another observation: Dezember was just 22% down in total earnings from November which was a good month last year as it is this year. I actually had December much worse in rememberance, then it actually was.

yeah december has always been a fair bit lower for me too.  It peaks to the year's high and then drops to the year low :) making the monthly total lower than november by a fair bit.

Max money was Dec 11; max downloads was Dec 12. The rest of the month was average until about Dec 22 where it was pretty bleak until Jan 2.

Here are my istock stats from December 07.  (other sites also followed the same general pattern back then)

Here's the monthly pattern for all of 07:

That one looks very similar for my first three years on istock, but vastly different for this year.

At SS my max day for DLs and $$$ was Dec. 6 and included one EL sale.  At IS, my highest $$$ was Dec. 9 and highest DLs was Dec. 12.

Dec 2007 was very good for me at SS, max $$ the 10 of the month, but I had 3 good days after x-mas 26,27,28) before going down again

I don't keep daily stats, so I checked StockXpert, FT and IS online.  In IS things slowed down, but didn't stop, by Dec 18th, in FT I had sales until Dec 25th and in StockXpert it began to slow down by the 21rd - but I sold there almost daily afterwards, even had 2 sales on Dec 31st (one was a New Year images - someone was late! ;) ).  So as I didn't see any special trend, I voted the last option.

Regards,
Adelaide

I didn't keep daily stats in 07, but my cryptic notes said "Great month until about 13/15".
