Title: Has anyone had sales this week in Istock?
Post by: Peruphotoart on April 14, 2018, 06:31
Someone had sales this week in Istock or just happened to me, it turns out that the whole month of March was fine but since it started April or after the problem of the page I can not get any sales, something similar happens to you?

There have been an 48h outage at iStock/Getty websites around the Easter weekend. And the Easter holiday vacations.

If the portfolio is in any way small. Do not own colorful egg or cute bunny pictures. You're going to miss a whole week of sales whereas designers spend time with their families, away from happy salad eating woman pictures (if it's what you're photographing :)

How do you see weekly sales? There is just monthly report or I miss something?

Is the infamous "Downloads Year To Date" Counter in the "Profile" tab of the "Account Management" tab. It update in bulk, once in a while. Depends on the wind speeds between Alberta (iStock HQ #2) and New York (Main iStock HQ).

I doubt very much if its accurate I don't bother with it.

It's a 'different kind of accurate', but FWIW, I've been having 'increments' during the week.

Yes. Actually more sales than usual, although after all we are in AApril, a good month.
