Title: September sales statement in
Post by: Pacesetter on October 19, 2022, 17:56
Second best month but RPD down to $1.63 in September vs $2.97 in August (which incidentally was my BME on iStock).

Average for this year - much better than last month, but worse than Sept 2021.

For the first time, my earnings on istock were under $100 - that's never happened before. The RPD was only $0.42.  :(

Best September ever on iStock, but September is usually a slow month for me for some reason, so still less than half of my BME. Still, can't complain.

Less than 40% compared to the last month :(
RPD : 0.53$

Thats quite humbling (and motivating to keep working on myself and improving) to see your great numbers people... I mean, I suppose you must have really brilliant content to have RPD of more than 1 dollar, or earning more than 100 per month on istock (or having monstrously enormous port, in this case)

It was a best month for me, with freaking 15 dollars :)
RPD of 0.33 disappointing as pretty much always. Cant recall a month with RPD higher than 0.45
Port of 700 assets, no vids

I have 900 images on istock.

I suspect that you can only achieve an RPD above 1 if you also offer videos.
Nowadays. It was possible years ago with images only.

Oh yeah, that makes sense. Actually, I just uploaded my very first 7 videos taken with smartphone to istock this week and got first ever video sale recently (on adobe).
I find it difficult to evaluate what has enough sale potential when it comes to recording videos... then it blows my mind to see that Jeff Whyte sold static video of building exterior with passing cars for few hundreds... Anyway, I just moved to Amsterdam from smaller dutch city, so hope to find some interesting subjects soon!

it happens...for sure it doesn't happen if you submit to istock which has a ridicolous rpd of 2/3$ for video...

OK for me, with a reasonable average RPD for a change.

What's going on??

Getty sent me $1.22???

What???

Did any of you get your payment too? And are the numbers not right there either?

It's bad enough I had the worst month ever there. But they still don't have to screw me!!! Where is my money? I never had that before!

Payment sent adjusted down only about $1 which seems okay. Hope you get it sorted asap Wilm, that's a terrible result.

i received a payment that i was not expecting, having not reached $100 last month.   And my ESP has no adjustment for the amount, so no idea what it's about

Oh, thank you, it actually says that - I didn't pay attention to that. Then the correct payment will probably still come.

Or is there also a minimum payout amount at Getty that has to be over $100?

e-mail actually cam After the payment, so there was no way of knowing when the notice from Paypall arrived for me.
