Title: 4 years of statistics [very small portfolio]
Post by: adijr on December 04, 2013, 12:15
Hi all,

Just in case this is useful for anyone, here's my istock selling stats over 4 years, for a *very* small portfolio (28 photos/videos).

I dont understand the graphs. Every year your earnings start over again, shouldnt that line from 2010 not start where 2009 ended, etc. ?

400 dollar in one month with a few images is quite impressive.

'Just over $300',  but still impressive.
With that level of success, why haven't you made the effort to upload one or two more files, no matter how busy you are otherwise?
Are you exclusive in both photos and video?

I think this shows I didn't communicate something properly. It is like that for the 'cumulative income', everything else is just a monthly number.
Does that make sense?

* edited some graphs to show the word 'Monthly'

This let me think that I should do like Yuri Arcurs: to be exclusive on iStock and non-exclusive on other agencies………

Certainly can't draw any meaningful conclusions from this small of a port but it doesn't look like things are going too well in 2013; both monthly income and RPI are down when compared to previous years....kinda goes along with what alot of others are reporting....

yeah, absolutely not enough to do solid statistics on.

I haven't really done anything stock for a couple of years (as you can tell my by stationary number of images) other than check the balance, so I thought I'd look at the graphs again; and if anyone cares to look as well and learn something from it.
