Outstanding numbers. It was only a couple of months ago that they passed 2 million members, so 400,000 additional customers in two months! In that same period the number of contributors hasn't changed (hardly) so the customer/photographer ratio is growing. That's excellent.
53% of sales from the US shows the success of their overseas expansion.
Outstanding.
This shows what happens as a result of INVESTMENT and MARKETING.

But how do we know that those 400,000 are downloaders? It just says registered members. A lot of them might be contributors who haven't passes the initial QC or haven't even uploaded anything yet. How many of those new "registered members" go on to download images?
And only 2,300 golds. Of those, only 260 are exclusive.
How do you know this? Are there any other fun stats you know?
I simply keep my eyes and ears open when I read their forums.
Yeah - 40% of their content is presently exclusive. This suggests that the exclusive artists generate much much higher volume production than non-exclusives.
I'm ashamed to admit that although IS was the first agenecy to accept me, in the two years I have been there I have only gotten 47 images accepted (somewhat less than 50%). Every couple of months I try and concentrate on them but get distracted by other agencies where my portfolio is larger and so is my return. For the last four days at IS I have been sitting 37 cents short of a payout with no dls. This is not a cry for help, just venting, I know it's my own fault. Rosta
