I would think the overall income would far out way stats like rpd.

You'd think so, but some people won't even upload to some places based things other than overall income... mainly sale price and commission rate... so they never even have an opportunity to find out what overall income that site would bring.

Like my post on Motion Array. Because you get around $3.50 a download, I got the usual comments... cheapening your work, ruining the market, happy to accept pennies etc. But I don't really care how much I get per download, I just care that in my very first week of selling there... I made more than I did in the whole of February on Bigstock Photo, Deposit Photos, Dreamstime, 123RF, Fotolia and probably iStock.

A lot if people aren't interested though. As long as the RPD is acceptable for them, then $100 a month can be good and $500 a month can be bad.

Much wisdom in what you're saying. I originally had thoughts like that about Videohive for selling 4K so low, but now I'm trying to upload there, hoping they approve me to use the beta uploader. I was contacted through email by the guys at Motion Array about contributing there. I responded with a couple basic questions and never heard back. Maybe I'll look into it more. I always appreciate your perspective on things.

All comes back to the "prisoners dilemma".
What is good for the individual is not good for the collective.

I think it's rather good for society when criminals confess.

Nothing to lose now you can set your own prices.

Some stats
RDP (for one total month best vs worst) :

AS
worst : 0.51
best :1.07

IS
worst : 0.33
best : 1.18

SS
worst : 0.25
best : 0.43

What is more important when you have to pay the bills, RPD or total income?

for sure the total income, but the better total income for me, in order, is from : IS AS and SS... it's why i ask my first question

by the way, it's really interesting to read your comments

Your results are quite different from what most people experience....mine are the opposite way round....possibly your material better suits those platforms or maybe in a few months your results will reflect the "norm". I used to think because I was European I did better on Fotolia (now Adobe) now not so much.

indeed, as I started recently, with time, the trend will be confirmed, or not. Maybe it'll be totally the opposite in 6 months ... we'll see!
