....very good month compared to the at least last 6 months....Wow, December was my best month since ESP started!!! ;D
(but, keeping it real, -44% on Dec 2011.) :'(
OK, there seems to have been a much higher number of Credit Pack sales, which has helped a lot, but I'm nervous about two sales. Both sold twice the same day (all 20th December), both on the subject of agriculture, both with one large value credit pack sales and one small value, the same for both. One file hasn't sold previously under ESP, the other has only sold twice.
I fear refunds might yet happen. :'(

That's one file's two sales, the other file's two sales are identical to that.
Hope I'm being overly pessimistic, but it seems like a ridiculously huge coincidence otherwise.

It's sad because every single sale you get on istock for pennies is a sale missing on other agencies that pay you fair...Hmmm.
iS earned me 250% in 2019 of what Alamy earned me, and I get 50% at Alamy and have about 10% more files there.
Doesn't mean I love iS, and I wish Alamy did better; but it shows that what you said isn't necessarily true. I spent 2.5 years uploading only to Alamy, but in only one month out of eight years has Alamy earned me more than iS.
Different people will have different subjects so different experiences, i.e. YYMV.

But I have to say november was my best month ever.
I don't know what to think, but for sure I cannot say that Istock is giving established earnings...

rpd 0,30 cent..ridicolous...best month of download...a lot of 0,08 from canvas portal...istock is killing this business but people don't want undersea...better earn penny now...at least don't complain in future if ss or adobe don'tsell.Same for footage...istock is undercutting other agencies...the result will be a fight on price...be prepared...
