Title: March PP - quick and quiet!
Post by: gillian vann on April 17, 2013, 16:47
well the March PP happened quickly and without much fuss? Is that because there wasn't as much to do?  :'(

@ Gillian:

Maybe you have too much on your mind?  That can do weird things to us.

must've. I had a fashion shoot today with a very full-on stylist, which is both excellent and annoying. to make it worse, really didn't get any time to shoot anything for stock :( hopefully a few will work somewhere.

Odd that was on April 4th. April started out good, but the 4th was the last day I had any sales there.

Seems to me it will be the WME. Looks like I'm not gonna reach 100$ this week! Never happened before.

It's not a late April 1st joke is it?  ;)

You made me look and I see nothing. So much for March?

Nonono, that was a 'false positive' when some sales from April 16th didn't show up until April 17th.
The PP payments should have happened this weekend, but it didn't and you aren't allowed to ask about it over there:

Partner Program sales are supposed to be reported by the end of the next month, they are early most months.

I thought it was supposed to be the weekend around the 21st, with Getty coming in the following weekend, or thereabouts, but I'm not in the PP, so I don't keep up to date.

Yep, the PP stats started coming in about an hour ago.  They're even late for their own weekend schedule.  :o

Got 4 days worth now.  The 1st was good but I'm hoping that the other 3 days aren't complete yet.

IS's steam-driven servers have coughed up a few PP downloads but since my PP earnings have dropped by 50% in recent months it doesn't produce a tingle anymore.

Looks like a pretty busy month on TS so far.   Which always gives me mixed feelings.  I will definitely take the money though :)

I was thinking the same thing.  A couple of $30 days scares me when most days are $6.  Are more of my images going into Google? Are there some other deals in a vacuum going on - shenanigans?? ???

I though I read over at iS that they weren't adding any more to the Google deal (for the time being)

Are the 30 dollar days from ELs?

Hey Tickstock,

I have EL's from Istock, but I can't tell on TS.  It just shows the green (partner program royalties) bars and a dollar amount when you ghost over them, but nothing specific about single image sales. There, of course, has to be some kind of deal because 25 downloads with $30 in sales doesn't add up.  So I don't have a clue what kind of deal was made and where my images end up as a result of those deals.  Definitely it could be a safe purchase but given the actions in recent times, I wonder.

That would be good news for sure, but.....
