... almost double my numbers in the past months ... have you seen the same phenomenon for your portfolio?

No, but last year, July for me spiked inexplicably. It meant nothing in the long run, though.

Nope, everything down except AS.

Oh, I'm behind the times. Didn't realise you're back on iS, Sean!

My bad, I didn't realize the thread was in the IS group.  Lol, nope, not on IS.

Beautiful fluctuation...

That is an irregular rising and falling in number of downloads. I cannot see any positiveness on that!

There are more downloads, but the numbers are not adding up to generate the same amount of $ as previous years.

How do you know what is being downloaded in March? We don't get that info until around the 21st of the next month. I must be missing something.

You can't see which files sold, but you can see how many are selling in quasi real time fits and starts) in your profile. However the number is obfuscated for exclusives who get two 'counts' per 'plusses sale counting towards the targets.

I deleted most of my portfolio in 2014 and haven't uploaded since - I keep meaning to delete the last 150 images, but then I'll make or be close to payout again, so I let them sit. I got paid again recently and noticed a big spike in November and smaller one in February - I can't see anything for March but I find the entire site so hard to navigate. Earnings are actually up a lot, beating out some other sites - so I thought about uploading some of the new stuff I've prepared and was looking around to try to figure out how to upload - do I need to use DeepMeta? There isn't a way to upload right on the site is there? Help would be welcome.

Also if you want a laugh, while I was googling "how to upload to iStock." I can across this font of misinformation - if only the earnings were $100-500 per photo per month! Not even in the good old days!!! I especially liked the "loyalty free" images - for those who like to shop around I guess  https://www.workathomenoscams.com/2018/01/23/getty-images-review/

Sue,

OK, on the esp.gettyimages site I went to my Profile, then Performance, then Downloads and the most recent downloads available are from February ... March is not available.

I must be doing something wrong ... am I looking in the wrong place?

In your account profile you can see "downloads to date" Personally I think its a totally unreliable stat. What you can't see is what has been downloaded in ESP you can see views and interactions. Which gives some kind of overview of activity on your account.

Thanks, Sue - Appreciate your help.

I've never paid any attention to those numbers because they seemed so unreliable as you say. But the "Downloads Year to Date" MIGHT give a very general idea of what MAY be going on.

However, when I checked into April's Issues, I see this notification: "YTD Counter repeatedly not updating. Freezes for several hours, but catches up later."

Makes these numbers hardly worth looking at.
