Title: Did February's PPs come all at once?
Post by: mtilghma on March 20, 2012, 14:11

I noticed a ~30$ increase in my balance a few days ago, and I thought it was probably an EL.  The EL still hasn't shown up, and I noticed that I do seem to have some little green bars on top of my February earnings now.  Did the Feb PP earnings come in all at once?

For me it was 3 bumps within a few hours, so I'd have to agree. LOL, I expected them to start on the 25 and run the script for 3 days.

For me it did, but I didn't bother commenting because all my sales were so pitiful for Feb.

I don't mean just subs, everything was horrid. Then March, just like SS, I've already passed up Feb. In fact on IS March will probably pass up Jan and Feb combined.

Same thing, I saw the total go up and I wondered what sold. It was the PP coming in, all at once. All the way to the 29th, in one drop for me.

Looked today and the middle of the month filled in. Sorry I jumped at that incorrect conclusion, because I had pay on the 29th and the 15th and one near the start. Maybe it was different sources coming in for the three days.

Same here. Sales more than double the previous month, as more of my port has been imported, so pleasantly surprised. Still less than 25% of my port at TS but at this rate PP earnings could well exceed DT when all images are transferred.

Took about 3 days for me too.  My PP earnings aren't comparable with my DT earnings, but they are almost double my BigStock earnings, and about 3x 123RF. 

That's with all my images there.  Would love to have been able to leave out bestsellers/P+, but it is what it is...

Yep, came in over the space of about 2 days for me.

Better than last months. This month looking like a BME for me at iStock by far (only small part of my port is with them). Not sure why, but will gladly take it!

Feb was decent for me too, a BMSSHFIRE, a 'best month since s*$# hit the fan and i rescinded exclusivity" (thank you, thank you, feel free to use it).  actually wait, I thought of an acronym I like more... it was a BMCE, a best month, common era.

Still an 87% reduction (ie, my BMCE is 13% of my BME)... a stat some exclusive champion-ers might want to latch on to (and are free to!).  But I have no regrets.

Looks like the PP sales are still coming through. I've just had a few more $'s and downloads added to my February stats.
