Better average rpd makes this month better than Jan and Feb.

Little better than expected. Makes up for previous weak month.

I AM wondering what the recession will do to purchases of stock images. I know that Advertising is pulling back because people are reducing their overall buying right now.

BME! Well not really, because I earned far more in the good old days, but it is my BME within the context of the available stats dating back to 2017.

Noticeably higher than usual video sales to the US region and higher than usual video RPD.

Pretty good for me. I needed at least $814 in order to get my March above a milestone threshold overall and it bested that amount by several hundred dollars.

Great month. Way better than last month.

despite above average number of downloads and decent number of video downloads it's the worst month for me out of the last 6 or so. very few decent sales and nothing big. istock is very much like shutterstock. largely tiny meaningless sales that add up to nothing and the once in a rare while big sale that totally skews the numbers.

Great recap, summs up my feelings as well.
I also had slightly above average month, on strength of larger sale on 29th, but regardless of eventual windfall, I will never be able to feel good about IS because of disrespectful 15% rate

I have no hopes left for iStock for me. Used to be one of my best agencies, often better than SS and Adobe until the beginning of 2024- Since then it's pretty much just peanunts.

I am at 1900$ in Mar '23 vs 180$ Mar '25 now. Not even a 10th of my former earnings and not enough to make a living from Microstock anymore.

The change is so drastic and it seems to only happen to me, while everyone else keeps reporting steady earnings. I don't get it.
At the same time iStock keeps begging me to go exclusive with them - 3 Mails just this month alone. As If I would go exclusive with an agecy that hardly earns me any money.

Slightly up from the disaster that was February, but still down from the last quarter of 2024.

Almost double income than March 2024.
