I just had two PPs on October 1st and 2nd.

I see only the 7 first days of october, but on those days my PP sales are about two times what they usually are... I'm starting to suspect something is wrong... (I hope not, I'm certainly enjoying the money rolling in!)

We're talking about it over on the stats thread. Everybody is seeing a surge in earnings. I suspect it is the Getty 360 program getting under way.

Compared to earlier PP sales, these seem to have a huge increase in RPD. For instance:

Nov 1st: 9 PP downloads, $47,55
Nov 2nd: 9 PP downloads, $6,52

That's more than your average $0,28 (although I see some of those as well)!

.

It did change. GI 360 is being reported under PP sales.

However, if it's keep going like this PP sales will be the BME. They're as good as SS sales in terms of $.
What a nice surprise!

how can iStock report PP and not main sales on the charts? guess they hired some of Yuri's distribution team folks

(yeah it must be a different process but sure it is the same "code" no?)

True, but when I got one, it was a green section in the stats bar, but came in with the Getty sales, not PP. 'Under', but not 'with' PP sales.
That could have changed in the last couple of months, of course.

OMG - that will confound the miserablists.

Is it better now?

I got one 3.96 (for me) and another for .58 as well as the usual .28

I have so few files remaining on iStock (109) that I was surprised to see a big balance jump from the start of the PP numbers. On Nov 3rd there was a 24.02 PP sale - just one, so I assume that must be some sort of EL?

I have the first 11 days reported: 99 PP sales.... Hope there is nothing wrong, my BME for PP sales so far:)

you can't add more "smiles" this month

Been getting a number of thinkstock sales for $3.96.

 39.84$ ??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh em gee. If the rest of the month goes the way the first 11 days have, I may make the same amount on iStuck as I did on Shutterstock last month. That would be mind-boggling.

I'm not sure what's going on, but it looks good. Too bad I didn't upload to iStock for almost two years, so my portfolio there is 15% of my shutterstock portfolio.

I have PP sales reported until the 13th and the amount is incredibly high when compared with the average month. In fact I think I've earned more in these 13 days than the whole month in the previous reports.

Hope this is not an error because I may be headed to my best month of the year.

If people start reporting good sales there would you think about uploading again ?

Same here. If the trend continues then I'm on target to earn almost twice as much from the PP in October ... as I did from my Istock portfolio.
