I had a bad month already , so when I just checked my earnings I saw few $ missing , the I saw the mail.

Apparently customer returned two of my XXL images cause he needed larger files.

Well and if he got them anyway , how can they know that he did erase them from the disk ?

Strange

for the past 5-6 months my sales grown continuously but may started really slow for me especially the first two week but then luckily it picked up yet slower than april on the whole but not as bad as thought it'd be.in fact I could still consider it as a good month.

8 sales this month for me. it is less then last month for the same period. May be summer?

Average month for me

sharpshot · « **Reply #58 on:** June 08, 2008, 16:16 »

I think I had my record Saturday yesterday with 6 sales.

BME in May. A bit slower in June, but that is to be expected. It follows the trend from last year.

massman · « **Reply #60 on:** June 09, 2008, 03:24 »

On target for 50% of last month. No sales for the last three days, I havn't had a no sale day since March.

Ebb and flow?
best match change?
Summer slowdown?
Sans crown?
Economic downturn?

Can't do much about it. Either upload more or upload non.

Too soon for me to draw any conclusions about June. Sales appear to be pretty normal for me.

I will not be surprised if there is a summer downturn though. IMHO it is just part of the job: booming autumn and slow summer.

After a BME in April and slightly down in May, June has fallen off a cliff! Not sure what is going on... I hope they aren't fiddling with the search engine again!

Nemo1024 · « **Reply #63 on:** June 14, 2008, 18:09 »

23 downloads in May vs 3 downloads so far in June. I hope it's only the dreaded summer slow-down.

vphoto · « **Reply #64 on:** June 14, 2008, 18:48 »

slowed down form me, very much so.

loop · « **Reply #65 on:** June 14, 2008, 22:17 »

Average normal number of sales, but different files sold, more old stuff tan usual.

Perry · « **Reply #66 on:** June 16, 2008, 11:55 »

I'm down 50% from last month... This can't just be normal ebb & flow. I don't even think it's all summer slowdown, all the other sites are doing reasonably well.

snoozle · « **Reply #67 on:** June 16, 2008, 15:06 »

Had 44 downloads in May (small fry for some, a bme for me), and 25 so far this month, so on target to achieve about the same. Having said that most of those sales have come from 3 images. I just need to get some more that can achieve the same or better.

cathyslife · « **Reply #68 on:** June 16, 2008, 17:15 »

Pretty big dip for me here as well, but then I knew when they changed the best match a few weeks back that it was most likely to happen.

littlerobin71 · « **Reply #69 on:** June 25, 2008, 00:14 »

this is my worse month so far...
Im going to make less than last month ..and I became exclusive this month...

I wonder if this is the subscription effect..or what

bittersweet · « **Reply #70 on:** June 25, 2008, 01:30 »

I had a record day last week, but I'm blaming the last few horrible days on the fact that the site is running like crap. The search engine was pretty much useless for half the day today. I had zero downloads until about 2:00 when it started working again. The site is still super slow and any reports are being answered with "tell us your browser, blah blah blah" when it is clear that everyone is experiencing the same thing. New uploads are taking a week to show up in our portfolios.

It's just a mess.

Perrush · « **Reply #71 on:** June 25, 2008, 03:03 »

I quit uploading in November last year. Since then overall earnings are down less then 50% from all time highs which I find pretty good.

While most agencies hold pretty good, IS literally dies on me. Just look at the graph underneath.

faber · « **Reply #72 on:** June 25, 2008, 04:32 »

Perrush, I'm just curious: why did you stop uploading?

helix7 · « **Reply #73 on:** June 25, 2008, 07:17 »

Its looking like I will be down about 10% at istock this month compared to May. But sales are also down across the board for me. Much worse at some other sites.

It is really slow, typical for summer.
