Title: iStock Subs lottery jackpot
Post by: ShadySue on July 17, 2012, 17:55

In the interest of balance, I'll share a pleasant surprise I had today.
I get very, very few iStock sub sales and until now they've always been very low value, as though the buyer had used up all their credits.
But today I got a sub sale from yesterday which was a M for which I got $11.30 (30%).
It's not even an E+ file.

Anyone else won the sub jackpot?

Congrats Liz!  I had thought they abandoned that sub system.  Glad to see there is still the occasional bit of good news :)

I don't remember anyone hitting the jackpot before - very glad for you as it's a nice surprise.

For that to happen on a Monday (vs. a weekend) seems like a bad sign overall. I assume most new subscription buyers will go for Thinkstock vs. IS subs even if they want to stay in the Getty family.

Totally a fluke. Sorry, couldn't resist.  :-[

I made 30 euros with one on mostphotos a few months ago but that looks like a one off.  The average sub commission there now is very low.
