Title: Monthly Trends- Best months and slowest Months
Post by: Goofy on May 13, 2014, 10:22
I haven't been in the business long enough to know which months are the hottest and slowest.  Thus would like the more seasoned pro's to reflect their experiences.

Thus what are usually the best months (i.e., October, November, December)- slowest months (i.e., January, April)

Thanks

Completely depends on content. You wont get a uniform answer.

I have a personal statistic about the sales trend of my portfolio accross the year. Since I didn't upload anything in 2010, 2011 and 2012 (0 in 36 months) I was able to do it, otherwise it would be effected by my uploading pattern.

So in the graph you can see my average monthly sales for 3 years from IS + SS. My best months were March and April, there was a %15 increase in September compared to August and my November/December sales were weak (maybe because I didn't have any Christmas/New Year images).
