Bad but again not surprised as I am focused at videos and not uploading any of those to Getty/Istock so it is obvious that with no fresh blood sales are fading away.....

Why not send your videos to GI/IS Exclusive that way you could make 0.78c with Premium Access.
BTW even if you put your images on GI/IS and have fresh blood the whole Premium Access is a deal breaker. Turning on my computer to edit costs more than what they pay.
GI should be ashamed of themselves. Greedy b*st*rds if you ask me.
-
GI/IS pay to me 15% rate per image. It's a lttle low.
-
Its the usual low commission rate of 15% on a $200 sale, simply appalling greed from Getty, I think I may well shut my Portfolio down with them.

A little?

The worst month in at least 10 years.

New images selling, unlike SS, so no wonder it's now better. Another good month.

That lot of money for someone sells in GI/IS.

Me too. The worst month since 2007. I've earned about 10% of I earned in my best June.
I'm getting closer to open a website and put all my 20.000 photos for free download and receive donations from whoever wants to give them.

Good month to me. I'm quite surprised with istock.

S/he just said a good month for him/her.
It's all relative.

Better than AdobeStock!

Second month there, about 25 USD. Should say "good" better than good.
Agencies as Adobe are dead for me after 10 months.

Pathetic of course.

Last month i earn in just one photo sold in Adobe Stock 23,76 €, everything is relative. I don't upload more to GI/IS due to the 15% rate it's very few.

BME but it was all due to one Premium Access! It's all random. A video sold for 0.5 USD what? But the RPD is as high as SS and AS. Above others such as DP or BS.

115 sale are marked as partner portal sale...mostly gave me 0,85 cent...not bad, seems coming from australia only and a bunch south korea, seems like somebody download a loto of my photos ...maybe is the canva deal?

Last two months were bad. June is superb. Those 0000001 sales are no longer there. The PDF report is big this time with good spread.

Wow, stills or video?
That's super impressive nowadays, though would have been poor back when I started in late 2006. The files I've uploaded this year, after 2.5 years of not uploading, have disappeared into some sort of Neverworld, only 3dls / $9.66 from them in total.
I've read a lot of exclusives saying their new files aren't selling, but I've seen one other indie on msg saying their recent files are selling well.
Conspiracty theorist, moi?! ;D 8) :-X

I just do pictures. Most of them landscapes and architecture with no people. Creative content and some editorial (15 %). I think I'm selling for 1USD most of them on getty.
It's not a great amount but I'm pretty new there. Have to see how it goes next months.
Adobe fi it's one of my lowest earners and on Alamy I just have one 30USD download.

You can't sell from Getty if you're indie, but Premium Access buyers have access across Getty and iStock. Are you earning a flat $1 per sale or is that your average?

I'm exclusive, I regularly sell images uploaded from many different years (except the really old images, where quality was subpar), including new images uploaded this year. Though curiously in June, about 20% of my images that were downloaded have never sold once before. I've never checked my stats in this way before, so I don't know how common this is. It was a mixture of new images and older images that have never had downloads before.

Unfortunately, I forgot to copy my stats out from DM when I upgraded my computer, so now all I can see is sales since ESP. I really regret that. I have monthly sales figures from when I started, but no individual file details.
Actually now that I've checked, I've only uploaded 65 files since I started reuploading in late Jan: I got demotivated.

It's the average per download I think. Can't understand my dashboard but in the file exported are 24 downloads for this month and about 24 USD.
I just can see the first 7 downloads in my dashboard (have 37) and most on them are on getty. But I'm not sure, still can't understand it.

Lately I've been seeing a lot of my stuff come up on Canva, I was wondering who was porting it.
-
Can anyone say what they get for a standard Canva sale through Getty? On Canva there are 3 tiers, normal common 1$ sales for which Canva pays .35 uncommon 10$ sales for which they pay $3.50 and almost non-existent $100 sales which they pay $35.
I am curious what a sale through Getty makes the artist.

78cents is insulting. I lament the old days when prices were much higher.

when were "those days" ??? supposedly video is still the only place to make money. Getty has closed the gap on that very quickly.

Not for me. My video sales are still growing........might be because I do not submit anything to Getty/Istock nor any of the new video subscription schemes........
