By far the worst month of the year. Truly laughable compared to what we used to make at iStock. This year it's my 5th agency in total revenue, and it used to be number 1.

BME for me only because of one large sale by Getty. Sales less than 10 cents are more than ever though.

For me, the best one so far (for the $ not for the volume).
21 pic sold, 1 sold for 99$ in Australia... 14.88$ my commission for this photo. 
Port around 500 pics (80% old pictures, 20% new one with new camera). Started in may 2017.

I enlarge my portfolio quietly, I'm not a pro...

As long as the vertical scale shows $10/unit, it doesn't matter, really. Come back when your scale will measure 100 $/unit and then we can talk about BMEs and more.

Best month of the year, by a tiny margin, rpd well down but dls up.
Actually beat last Nov, which was dire, but other than that my worst Nov ever.
Compared to Nov 07 which was my first Nov on iS, down 28%
Compared to Nov 08, down 67%.

The 25th (which is when they're supposed to pay us by, not necessarily 'on') is a public holiday in the US and many other countries.
In fact, we've been paid early before weekends all year.

It's never too early to get our money for the sales from the previous month  ;)
BTW it's my WMY!

How do you know that's not $5 unit? Which would be sad but true.

Nice way to slam new members and tell them they aren't welcome. I didn't know that only the big special people like you Rinder and Derek could write here.

Very strong month and overall a pretty good year.
