Post by: Canonbabe on August 07, 2014, 03:24
Just noticed some PP sales on the first of July! What about the subscription sales? Do they come in as well?

Oh, just seen, my subs seem to have turned up already ... don't know if it is all of them, because they all get dumped into the first day that you get any, they aren't spread across the month as they ought to be.

You won't get any on other days. It's a bug since the start: Whenever you had the first download in that month, all other subs will be shown at the same day for the month. Also in the annual overview all are added to the first month you had subs downloads (most likely April for the majority of us).

If you use the Chrome plug in you can sort sub sales by date and see what sold when. According to my list they're up to the 18th.

Yes, it is - usually they wait until September before messing up the site  ;D

You can go to your downloads page, click on image subscriptions to see all your sales. Right now it's only done through the 18th.

Well this is rubbish and just follows a downward drift of PP sales over the last 5 months :(

Even though the portfolio has doubled since January  ???

Are we sure that these are PP sales?  :o

Is it over? About 1/3 less downloads than expected.

I hope not. IS is my best selling agency. pp only 50% of last month (at the moment)
Title: Re: PP Sales July started!
Post by: jefftakespics2 on August 08, 2014, 20:43
PPP -67% from June! It's been reasonably consistent for me up until then and expect a summer slowdown, but that is a big drop. At least I am finished paying them back.

Its not over yet.  They do from one site, then another, etc.  Was like this last month too. 

Notice how up to 15th the green bars are fat and after very slim.   Another day or two and the rest of the bars will fatten up like the first two weeks.

They better fatten up soon or I am screwed for making the rent  :-\

You really think that we can be sure of anything with iStock??  ;)

I get the sales to the end of the month and they are 20% of my usual sales, so I feel that I can have some reasonable doubt, no?

oh it's not particularly good this month, and this is the first month we are free of the clawbacks, right?

I gave up on trying to figure iStock a long time ago  ;D

Every month is a new adventure into mystery and doubt with them  ::)

Title: Re: PP Sales July started!

Yes, I jumped the gun. Numbers are still rising. I figured when all the days were filled in that was the end of it.

Has it finished?
If it did, it's really bad. Only half of June, wich was bad enough already.
Title: Re: PP Sales July started!
Post by: fotoVoyager on August 11, 2014, 04:19
No, it's only up to the 18th so far.

Gotta hand it to them this month - at least they're being consistent. Subs stopped on the 18th too.
Title: Re: PP Sales July started!
Post by: dpimborough on August 11, 2014, 05:11
Well looks like it's over folks no new sales in the last 10 hours and though the quantity went up the money went down :(

Score:
+10 for effort

-10 for any meaningful sales  ::)

I have PP's on the 31st, but there are many days without any.
With my small port, it's normal to have some days without any PP's though.

I don't know if it's over, but it ended up being a very decent month - BME.
The RPD went down 15% though.
Title: Re: PP Sales July started!
Post by: Noedelhap on August 11, 2014, 06:40
On par with last month, but last month was about 25% less than normal. Not sure if it's the summer months or the downward trend.

True I would rather have the credit sales but since they are decreasing I at least want proper credit for the subs that took them.

That would be one of the Getty deals which show up green (e.g. Getty 360, n ot sure about the others). They can be (but aren't always) pitifully small amounts.
