I'm still a bit of a newcomer to iStock, so I'm still discovering things, but when a photo sells and it shows up in the Content Stats section, I can't seem to find anywhere where it states how much I earnt from that sale. I can only see an overall figure for the month in the Royalties section. Do they supply that data or just an overall figure for the month?
You will have to wait till 20th each month, when statements are released for a previous month, where you can see for how much the photos have been sold.

I think you mean Connect?

Using DM the stand alone.
Or go to https://accountmanagement.gettyimages.com/Reports/Export export and open the TXT file in CALC, like open office, and you can see all the combined Connect commissions.
Don't be too discouraged, it's just views, personal use and who knows what. I've never understood. We get 15%.
You will see it next month. The daily stats update is to give you an idea what is selling via istock/getty but there are also sales from partners that you see later and the actual value you see that in the monthly statements.
But the daily stats is helpful for real time feeling of what is happening in your port.
And after a while you can have a rough estimate how much you are making from experience.
