Fairly decent month. Nothing exceptional, but decent overall.

However, I will never understand their licensing terms I'm afraid.

Revenue 24.70 Reported 31.25

Not quite sure what the difference is?

30% more than May

Will try to add files every week, let us see how long it takes to reach 100 dollars. Haven‘t uploaded in years.

On Adobe adding 900 files got me from 10- 20 dollars a month to around 160-200.

 Very curious how istock will develop.

BME for me, thanks mostly to one big sale (17.55 usd). RPD of 0.59.
June was good in general, AS, SS and IS all performed well, and there were only small gaps between them when it comes to revenue... sadly it looks that in July things wont be nearly as positive, but I hope some good sales will still come.

TBH I should probably go exclusive with them for images only (not video - I would never go back to exclusive video on iStock/Getty). I've only recently been uploading images to iStock and am finding it a much easier place to grow sales compared to Adobe Stock as the influx of AI on Adobe has really changed the landscape for non-AI illustration contributors. Despite having fewer images and a lower royalty rate my sales and income are now well ahead on iStock. But I am interested to wait to see what Adobe Stock contributors will get from Firefly / Generative Fill revenue.

Month was okay, not great but not poor either, with an RPD of $1.59 for images and videos combined.
