Title: Only small and xsmall DLs today
Post by: Read_My_Rights on January 10, 2008, 23:07

I hope this is not a sign for things to come on IS. Somebody just pointed out that Designers are beeing screwed right now on IS and I do not hope this is their reaction - only DL the smallest size they need :'(

No difference for me. I am getting a mix of xs s m and L downloads and have been ever since I started in July. The price change hasn't affected my downloads at all other than me being happy at seeing $2.30 for a large or $1.20 for a medium :) Volume is exactly the same for me, just now I am making more moolah.

I haven't seen a change either, a nice variety of sizes.  istock is still relatively cheap and the designers can pass the costs on to the clients.  Will they notice an extra $10?  There is too big a gap between istock and the other sites now, so I hope the other sites raise their prices.

Wow.  Even with the price increase, the past 10 days have been my best ever on IS, and that's with just a very few new uploads.  I seem to be getting the same ratio of large-to-small dl's as before but considerably more dl's.

Good for all of you. First day with new prices was good too, but my string of xs and s DLs is uninterrrupted.

IS is doing really well for me, by far is my top earner this month I hope things will go this way.
I think all other agencies should follow IS and raise their prices  too

Well, a large portion of my sales are XS and S sizes, what quite frankly is enough for most web uses.  I was however nicely surprised for a L sale giving me US$2.40!  For a moment, I thought I was in StockXpert. :D

I seem to be getting a very high percentage of extra smalls but maybe I did before but am just checking up more on it now and noticing it.

I just sold 2 mediums for 1.40 and 1.44$ .

When mediums this week give me more $ than large last week, I don't care about the sizes!

Not getting any L and only some M size DLs. I think for anything web related the designers clearly prefer to DL the minimum size. Bummer

Had 4 Large  DL's  on IS in the last 2 days.... all over $2.   I sell  "L's" on a pretty regular basis.  They are mostly landscape shots.  Although 2 of these 4 were a modern livingroom shot.  8)=tom
