Title: Partner program makes up 90% of income on IS?
Post by: MyCrowStock on August 18, 2016, 15:19

I am pretty new to microstock, joined a few sites this year.

I have heard that the partner program should make around 10% of the income on IS, whilst IS downloads the other 90%.
My experience is the opposite, and has been for months since I started.

Thoughts from veterans?

Credit sales are getting more and more rare, and now, essentially, they're a subs site.
When you say 90% of your sales are from the partner program, are you literally meaning from Thinkstock, rather than subs or G+?
Although falling credit sales is commonly reported, over the past few months, I've read people saying their PP sales are falling, though subs are increasing, to a limited extent. (I'm not in the PP.)

Yes literally Thinkstock.
Subs is there, but far less sales than the partner program brings me.
Perhaps it is too early to have a true diagnosis for my images  ;D

Thank you
