Better than expected, in this economy.

If I'm not mistaken, the “1x per year” Connect payments are included in April, so that looks pretty good this month.
Without these Connect amounts, April would have been well below average...

Highest number of downloads, but second-lowest rpd (a shocking 73c) since ESP started.
Highest April total $$ since 2021, but with a proportionately high increase in files in the past year.
(PS that doesn't include Connect files)

Better than average, several images for 7.95 (net) each.
But just as you are about to get excited, you remember they made 85%. Then you scroll to last page on Deep Meta, see whole bunch of 1 or 2 cents each and feel totally deflated

Average month

I made 96.8 USD with RPD of 0.59

Seasonal holiday content (Kings Day in The Netherlands) sold well for me in April.

Where can I see the total number of downloads for a month?
In the Content Statistics section, it looks like they only show the number of files that were downloaded — not the total number of downloads (so if one file was downloaded multiple times, it still counts as 1).
I could paste the data into a spreadsheet, but I'm not sure if these numbers match what's shown in the monthly royalty statements.

Sadly, I find that the numbers never match, even within the iS site.
I say 'smoke and mirrors', they say they are pulling figures from different places ...

Earnings down 33.6% on April 2024 but that month was and still is a record. $381.57 is the headline figure / $378.2813 contributors net payment this month with a RPD of 45 cents ($0.45) for photos and RPD of $4.34 for video. Best month so far this year.

Do you thank iStock for keeping 85% of sale and giving you crumbs in return?

50 dollars, no payout, but better than last month.

Didn't beat the previous month's BME but it was still a good month, approximately the same as Adobe.
