Half the sales I usually have. I'm stunned. 

Slightly fewer sales than May, but a much lower RPD. 
$$ 1% up on last June! 

So close to last month I feel like reaching for the tinfoil hat and calling a cap

Ha Ha I Know how you feel. In April I got exactly the same amount as March right down to the cents. It was exactly the same ****.** That was just too uncanny for me.

June was just extremely ordinary for me after a really good May. I got to admit that Premium Access Time Limited is Killing me. 4K footage files that cost quite a bit to produce are selling for $0.12 and I get 100's a month. I still get the big sales too but I feel that Getty is really pushing the Premium Access hard. It will mean the end of footage on Getty as they are showing truly how greedy they are. Charging $10,000 + dollars a year membership for company's to download our footage and keeping 99.999% of the $$$ and all we get are the crappy $0.12 after they take the 80% from a ridiculous sub fee. How is this allowed and possible? There should be a law about this?

It's better than in May

Images from February is still not revise , June income almost $3$ = wasting time 

2.5% less than May, so that's good enough for me.

Up $40 over last month. Nothing earth shattering. I hate getting monthly statement....when are they ever going to real time sales? I suspect never.  It gives them a cloak of control to hide a lot of riffraff.

I'm pretty sure they're not going to go onto real time. Because of the subs thing, where we get a percentage of the subs actually used, it wouldn't be possible, at least for subs, and for me at least, subs are >60% of sales.

They could easily report what's sold but not how much for........

Suddenly much higher rpd than in May (more or less the same # of downloads but twice more in $), and very few "tiny" sales this month, hm

Did anyone read their newsletter that said they found a royalty glitch and would be recalculating history and potentially see a bump in royalty payments? They said it would be completed by last night but this morning i dont see any changes in my income. Perhaps it will show up in Julys figures next month.

I did see that, and my overnight bump was tiny enough to be normal overnight sales.

Hmmm ok well if it did happen i netted zip. Not surprised, though.

I also read it as dls  increasing not cash. So in other words time to recheck RPD because it was lower than initially reported

Most of the sales reported in the "June Statement" were actually from May. So my May suddenly became BME, but June was a disaster. Maybe my June sales will be repored on 20th August?

Anyone else?

Yes, thanks - I hadn't noticed but after reading your post now see from my latest statement (released 20 July, which I assumed was for June sales) actually includes a fair number of May sales, probably about a fifth overall. So maybe May was better than I thought - but my iStock statement charts don't seem to reflect this (ie, the June totals haven't changed since this latest statement). It might just be a case of all the labyrinthine sale figures filtering through at treacle-like pace?

I also notice that Microstockr Pro figures (great software by the way if you don't already use) seems to struggle with these figures, nothing has updated on it yet for iStock, perhaps it's just all so complex we're talking weeks (or even months) before some sort of true figures show up?

I got a huge jump, about 10% more of what I had.

53 dollars.

Lowest 0.02 to 5.73. Feels like over 90% is below 1 dollar.

I haven�t uploaded in months, doubt it is worth the hassle now.

Even the so called low earners can now give better results than istock.

Yes I feel so happy that it only took them two months to send me the dismal sales report. 

As a pleasing note the 2c and 14c commissions seem to have vanished. But 15% of crap is still crap. Can't decide if I want to go on with them. I suspect that's their plan all along. Get rid of the low earning independent people. Maybe not a bad plan, I'm happy to take my photos and leave. I make much more on other sites, both commission and money.

I stopped uploading new files last year. I don't see a future at IS. Just waiting for the next exciting contributor news, which has never been anything but ways to cut our cut.
