Am I doing something wrong? I have just noticed that many of my images on iStock have 0 views. I am not exclusive with them.

I don't know but Istock reporting is very er confusing I only look at sales on all sites as they all treat "views" differently. For example on Dreamstimes I have some images with thousands of views and no sales.

I have hardly any views and no sales on DT :-)  For me iStock is just as bad as DT. I had hoped to do as well with iStock as I do with Fotolia.

For me I stock is third and a long way ahead of DT which  is a bit of a disaster lately. Its only really SS and Fotolia that are consistent earners for me lately.

I'm exclusive. Still no view for my new uploaded images.

No sales for 10 days! Normally make about $200 a month. Very strange.

Exactly same for me except its been 18 days. Something has changed, again!

VERY low sales for me too, about half.  Ended up at $400 ish for Aug and Sept looks to be done and I am at $200 with 4200 assets.

IMO iStock has become mainly a subscription site - certainly in terms of d/l numbers; 

'normal' downloads are still significant in terms of revenue, though d/l numbers (and views) have plummetted...  (cannibalised by subscriptions, I believe). 

difficult to be optimistic...

I am with Istock for about 2 years, and I have less than 500 files online. I usually make 150$-220$. Istock was my best selling site. I have more files on shutter, but I make less $. September was my BME. I do not why, but Istock is doing good for me, compared to other sites.

all the new content has 0 view...they screwed up the best match...so now you find just the old stuff in front

No wonder I am doing so very bad on iStock. I only sold 2 images in six months. And not one of my bestsellers that sell on SS and Fotolia. The 2 sales I had about 4 months ago. Ever since nothing.

i'm sorry but with 2 sales in six months you do not statistic...it is just luck if you get a sale..dont waste time with microstock

IStock is a total waste of my time that's true but I am doing very well on SS and Fotolia. I only started a few months ago. I only have 150 images on SS so far. I have 200 on DT but there I have sold 2 images in the 9 months I am with them. DT was the first agency I signed up with.
