Mar 5th Sat I just got credit for Feb 1st sub. Is this a new record for reporting?

My revenue dropped 60% in 4 months. I won't miss their <15% royalties.

Last few months subs started to come in on the 5th or 6th of each months, I'm actually worried that it's now the 7th and I have nothing reported yet...

is everyone getting report for Feb already?

Pauws99 · « **Reply #3 on:** March 07, 2016, 10:25 »

Yep for first three days last month

Chichikov · « **Reply #4 on:** March 07, 2016, 12:17 »

First four days regularly reported here

jonbull · « **Reply #5 on:** March 07, 2016, 13:30 »

maybe a stupid question, but in istock now you can buy any size at 1 credit? so for us any size we have 0,25 cent? considering that this include up to 500000 limit......i am speechless....luckily they now accept everything and maybe u will upload all my portfolio i planned to do in one yuraer.,,..,40000 new images, maybe i will earn 100 dollar end of month:)....

I was making a joke because mine don't show until the 10th or later and sometimes run into the next month before all are reported. Some day IS will move into the 21st century and report same or next day, like the rest. Slow pay, low pay, money won't make us happy.

Agree, except IS will NEVER report same day. They tried that and found it was too useful for contributors. Kinda like getting paid when we reached $100 was to good for us.

Oh, it will happen. It's probably part of the redesign of the website they announced in 2010. I'm just waiting for them to implement it.

When will they impliment scout answering in less then 2-3 months and with an answer that addresses the question? iS is so broken they don't afford to have support. Maybe Adobe or SS will buy iS.

I wish, but I doubt it. With Getty partnered up with China's VCG and absorbing Corbis, they don't look to be going away anytime soon. Unlike their customers who seem to be going away as fast as they can.

No; nowadays they're about a week earlier in reporting subs than they were when subs started.

Where have you been?
They've been selling subs and 'all sizes, one price' for ages now (subs since April 2014).
NB The indie subs payment is 28c, not 25c. For all the difference that makes.)

So, is anybody else experiencing much higher number of sales than usual for march? I'm asking because I have way way more sales than my average, and I was thinking, maybe it's because Veer customers migrated to iStock?

ShadySue · « **Reply #14 on:** March 20, 2016, 06:33 »

No. Last March was an unexplained high point for 2015 (relatively to the year, not to previous Marches). This March is better than Jan and Feb, but that's not saying much.
Congrats on your good month.

sharpshot · « **Reply #15 on:** March 20, 2016, 07:02 »

My sales are close to flat lining this month.

I suspect you are just having a good month Congratulations....my sales are a little higher but not much to get excited about

PixelBytes · « **Reply #17 on:** March 20, 2016, 15:03 »

Historically March has always been my best year, followed by November. This March is a bit lackluster, but so far looking better than Jan or Feb. I am guessing if I want to see a big sales jump I will have to work alot harder.

Fruitcocktail · « **Reply #18 on:** March 23, 2016, 19:22 »

I hope that all of the sub and partner sales for February aren't finished... If so then it is the worst month that I've ever had at IS

Check on their forum for that info.

Been at this game for a few months now and I'm $4 away from my first IS pay out with a week to go until the end of the month. I just know those $4 of sales will get reported to me on the 1st or 2nd of April even If they sold today.

It seemed like for a couple months IS was on the move again then last month and this month went back in the toilet.
