Title: PP over for April- Not Good
Post by: Goofy on May 24, 2014, 13:22
Not a good month for the PP income- but at least I made enough for the 'Clawback' to be covered  :(

Pretty good results for me.

Let's see what subscription sales bring :)

Didn't I read in their forums that iStock subs are still to come?

Looks like crappy is the new normal in PP. 

Anyone seen any sub payments yet, and are they supposed to be a different color?

I think some of the TS buyers moved to IS because there are much more files to choose from. That can explain the decrease in TS sales.

I'm not sure if I want to have more or less subscription sales from TS and IS! I just can't stop reminding myself that they pay me only $0,28!
They even don't count these sales as redeemed credits! Greedy .............. >:(

Yup. Right after PP.

You can also check the .csv file ;)

Sub payments haven't started yet, and AIUI they are going to be the same colour as PP.

I usually have around 50 pp sales. But in March I only had 3 and in April 0 so far. I think most of my sales came from photos.com, not Thinkstock.

I started this string in good faith - being honest with a slight sense of humor and got negative (hearts).  Is my string that stupid or just adds no value?

Quite low for me, too.  About $75 less than normal.  I suspect customers transitioning perhaps. Or just an off month.

In april the subscription program in IS was almost inexistent, it was not promoted, just tested

Are the now visible PP sales of April completely?
Or consider this only until April 12, 2014 ?

The CSV file in my does show only to 2014-12?
