I saw this and it started me wondering:

i have lower sales too, my rank drop from 600 to 850, my explanation was , my images are not popular anymore, my rank fall, so someone must sell more.

Supposing there are 40,000 contributors on FT, anyone under 1000 (the top 1000) is doing pretty good? Right or am I wrong?

Then I started thinking, is this rank that flexible and Cesar will jump up with a few sales more next month. There's a big pool of people with similar numbers, so rank can change 250 on a couple sales?

What does it take, if anyone can estimate, for someone to be a top 1000 on FT per month. How many sales or better question,  how many "Credits".

Not asking for anyone's personal finances, just the question, what's the edge of the top 1000?

hello

i am beetween 600-1000 rank, about 300€ per month, sales are not growing. 600 or 1000 rank  is the same money

it is posible to achieve 600€  with 100 images/month

happy now?

I would expect that someone who is in the top 1000 rank, with probably tens of thousands contributors would earn more money.

if you earn 1000€ your rank is about 50-70 that is my presumption.

first 50 make about 75% images,so, there is no easy money in stock

When I was with FT my rank was around 1400.  I made $50 a month and very rarely did I make more. Don't miss them one single iota.

Cesar, there must be a lot less ppl there with fotolia since dollar club introduction.
in that sense, whoever is left willl have gotten to go up in rank . and with adobe ,
will see increase of earnings too.  am i correct?
- with this, and SS wind of change , fotolia would become more and more enticing
as ss is becoming more deja vu of is before the implosion of IS.

my rank is pretty stable and goes up and down with only 10. I cannnot imagine that someone's overall position varies that much. Maybe his weekly position.
For the statistics....mine's 1730 and my monthly average is about €200

Mt ranking is 4500 and I make around 140€

People who jump hundreds of ranks must be very low down on the table where just a few sales difference will put them above lots of other people. There could be 1000 people selling 30 images per month. Potentially you only need to sell 31 to jump 1000 places (depending on how they order those 1000 people)

The higher you are on the table the more stable your rank I imagine.

Nope, I make more than that and my rank is much lower, in the 2-300 range

I never really thought the rank thing was credible my ranking seems to go up and down randomly compared with good or bad weeks? 

I earn about 25 euros / month and my overall rank is about to 13.400. At the beginning of the year was about 15.500...

Last 4 months about 100€ per month on average. My weekly rank jumps mostly between 3000-4000, sometimes below 3000 and sometimes above 4000. Depends on how good or bad days are.

Only 25€ per month with 2000 photos? That is really low. Btw, who is that girl in your photos? She's really cute .

She's my girl friend 

It looks like she's a really good cook

Thx, but almost all the food that you saw in my port is cooked by myself 

when you talk about those variation in rank you please specify is it weekly or overall position

someone can have weekly rank about 500 for last few months but overall position below 5-6000

I'm talking about weekly position. I believe others are too. My overall position is only increasing.

Far as I can tell, the breakdown looks something like this:

Top 10 = $3,000+ per month

Top 50 = $2,000+ per month

Top 100 = $1,000+ per month

My weekly rank is between 600 and 700 and so far this year I have made between 400 and 700 a month with last month being the lowest.  I'm pretty sure that my rank was much higher a couple of months ago.  Overall rank is in the 200s .

Again I am in the 200-300 range and usually make more than $1000, so maybe the range is 100-300 around $1000?

That means that the range of 3000-4000 weekly rank is very broad. I am 3000-4000 too and my July earnings are 62 euros, BME.

Also, I see  huge drop in last week's earnings but it can be just normal fluctuation.

My weekly rank is about 5000 - 6000 -> 25 euro/month...

My weekly position has been around the 600-700 mark for the past 6 months or so and have been getting approx £200-plus.  My overall rank at the moment is 1,630.
Does anybody have a rough idea of how many contributors there are on FT?
