Wow! Our earnings are on line for October now!

Great, surprisingly it became the BME.

I don't know why people dislike iStock so much, it sells.

Going from $400 in September to $200 in Oct is not my idea of success.

disappointing for me after a few good months but not a disaster remains 3rd place vying with adobe for 2nd.

Do you guys never get tired of this??

Brasilnut · « **Reply #7 on:** November 16, 2018, 04:24 »

Well, finally broke the $100 mark at $102...a milestone of sorts

Because they pay us just 15% of the selling price and a lot of other bad things!

PZF · « **Reply #9 on:** November 16, 2018, 05:07 »

Is it an annual thing that there is always a negative 'royalty free and stills' in their September?

soon there will be a zero behind your highest month thus you will be in the thousands of $$ per month...

If me or anyone could figure that out we would be rich:) Seriously, I do not have a clue. What I do know is that it's been quite some time since I've uploaded video there and only now and then am I uploading images. I suppose it would be inactivity if they use that in their algorithm. Who knows, though.

panicAttack · « **Reply #12 on:** November 16, 2018, 08:06 »

yep, istock is getting better for me.

ShadySue · « **Reply #15 on:** November 16, 2018, 10:14 »

3rd BMY but low rpd ($1.62); worst October ever (since 2007).

Like this?
Gross royalty $0.05000
or
Gross royalty $0.06074
or
Gross royalty $0.10025
or
Gross royalty $0.12600

I should like that?

Or that total downloads are down 30% from last year?

But I can see why exclusives would like iStock.

They get rewarded for being loyal and they should.

4th BME

at least they are not late again

Sales are good but almost 40% of them are in $0.03-0.15 range, RPD this month is just $0.165.

And now my images there are competing with the same images in AS and SS that provide far far far better RPD.

I suppose sales are relative. It used to be nice to reliably make 4 to 5 times more a month.

RPD oct
Shutter - 1,02
Istock - 0,99
AS - 0,96
unusually equal RPD in Oct.

I see a lot of BMEs

For me, iStock is the best one with RPD.

Seems to me that almost all agencies are now capitalizing on the SS downslope!
