oops!

on my way to the worst month since march 2013

I just had the worst day for god knows how long statistical quirk I hope month is pretty average

4 consecutive days without any sale on the American continent... It never happened before.

April will be the 40% lower than march 2016. I have really big portfolio.

Sound about on par with my stats.

I am heading to do slightly better than March. So no change here.

After a BME in march, april is almost exactly at average.(Mostly Video)

"normal" month for me nothing to get excited or depressed about

me also

I just noticed that my gallery views almost disappeared after the changes made few weeks ago

Sales are lower but still ok, but gallery views are from 15-25 weekly to 1-2

I am slightly down from March but ebb and flow is normal.  However, what I see that's newer on SS is significantly bigger deltas between months. For example, once month is $600 and the next is $1200.  That is a huge swing and I see that happening more and more on SS, just not this particular month.

Maybe they implemented the istock "ebb and flow" system where your files are available some of the time to give other files a greater chance...

Ditto. But More than slightly.

Hit BME today with a few days to spare.

Off topic : what is this "ebb and flow" system ?

Worst month since early 2012. Not just in earnings, but downloads as well

Just a little over 1500. 14 months.

Just when I thought this month is going to be the worst since 2013, I got some nice SODs, now it's an average month.

my sales went drastically down since last 4 months on ss ,

The handwriting was on the wall when they lowered the minimum payout from $100 to $35.  They knew full well then that earnings were going to drop drastically due to whatever changes they were putting in place and they needed to make the change to keep the lower earners mollified.  Otherwise it could be months or longer between payouts for them.  They also needed to do that to keep their accounts payable numbers at a reasonable level for accounting reasons.

Just for correctness sake: $100 was the default proposal, but anyone could set the minimum payment to $75.

Anyway, this April is far from my March BME, indeed.
I'm only dollars away from matching April 2015 and this will most probably happen today.

Nevertheless, I'm happy for having reached my 4 $digits monthly quota on SS, so I can't say it was a bad month, maybe only average.

A top month despite the last few days which have been diabolically bad which is a concern
