Title: Final numbers for 06
Post by: dbvirago on December 31, 2006, 19:16

Agency and % of total

SS     26%
DT     24%
IS     15%
BS     10%

F      9%
SX     7%

123    3%
CS     3%
FP     1%
LO     1%

As was the case last time I posted #s, the top 4 make 75% of my income, and the top 6 make 90%.

Sorry if I'm being a bit thick here ... do the percentages refer to your personal photos, or to the total number of photographs available through each agency?

I.e. Do you have most of your photos with SS. Or does SS have just over quarter of the photos available through all 10 agencies?

i think his totals are earnings per site.

so out of $100 made, dbvirago got $26.00 from SS $24.00 from dreamstime and so on.

I'd say my percentages look quite a bit different than dbvirago's - lol

SS 60%
IS 24%
StockXpert 6%
FT 4%

DT 3%
BS 1%
123 1%
FP 1%
LO and CanStockPhoto - not worth mentioning

Madelaide, I notice you don't submit to SS. Do you mind if I ask why?

Just curios.

Dbvirago,

Because SS only pays 25c.  I think it's an absurd, especially now that they require a minimum of 4MPix.

I find it really interesting that for the majority who have posted so far, SS is the leading earner, way ahead of IS. I expected them to be much more neck and neck.
I have not worked out the lesser earners but my top 5 are:

SS 45%
DT 20%
IS 18%
BS 10%
FO 7%

Last month was way weird, Shutterstock earned 10X more than IS for me!

Here are my earnings breakdown for 2006

SS 36%

DT 17.1%
FT 12.1%

iS 8.7%
StockXpert 8.2%
123 7.9%

BigStock 4.9%
CanStockPhoto 2.5%
FP 1.6%
SPM 0.8%

December overall was a bit disappointing at SS, DT and FT were down but it was my best month ever at StockXpert, BigStock + FP.

Unlike everyone else it seems I didn't give up on SPM and with just under 1800 images there I have found myself on the front page as one of the "top contributor" if only they had some visitors.
