Author Topic: Downloads Versus Uploads - Last 12 Months (Read 2292 times)

I did a calculation and discovered that I grew my portfolio with new uploads by 25% over the last 12 months starting from November of 2011.

Meanwhile, my downloads in November 2012 are 60% lower than they were in November 2011.

I wonder how my percentage of uploads to downloads compares to others for the last 12 month period?

Nov 2012 vs Nov 2011:

Portfolio growth: +47%
Downloads "growth": -30%

We see posts from people saying they're doing well, and of course there are those small matters of quality and subject matter, without which comparisons of results are pretty meaningless. But for most of us it seems the handwriting is on the wall.

Jan - October earnings.

Earnings at Istock -4% 2012 Vs 2011
Portfolio increased by only 6%. (need to upload more and less time here)

I suppose that is good results compared to alot of others.

don't percentages become misleading with larger port sizes? I'd like to increase my port size by 100% next year, easily done when I only have 200 images. A 5% increase for some of the big players is probably more effort than my 100%.

yes percentages can be misleading.

The orginal poster used % and people prefer to use them because they aren't giving away all their numbers. People are reluctant to use exact $ amounts

Interesting feedback. Many thanks for those who supplied figures so far.

So far anyone is yet to have had any growth in the last year or even just maintained the status quo.

It is starting to sound like the old adage "Shoot, Upload, Repeat" is becoming more like you are just chasing your own tail.

Also it's difficult for anyone with a reasonably sized portfolio to maintain the percentage growth of the collection as a whole.
Congratulations to those who find a niche which actually has a market!
