Hi Baran,

previously I said to you that mine is about 6-7$, now it's about 5.5$ due to a drop of E+ sell and a lot of new files being not E+ and selling well.
I'm on a 25% level, and the RPD is without El's or PP.

i know that is not the general situation of istock contributor but this month could be my BME at least for Dls. i have a lot of new file downloaded.

I can really not give any advise about that. It's too personal as decision. what i mean by personal is that there are too many parameters, like kind of image in the port, uniquness, preferences of buyer in different site, approval rate, contributor character and life...

being Ex is a risk, you can win or lose, i my case my total earnings are 30 % more. before Ex my earning distribution was approximatively 60% SS, 30 % IS, 10% all others. I have little drop (approx. 10%) in my down probably due to the higher prices but the higher earnings make more than the drop. Also my E+ make very well, no drop in down. My RPD is about 7$.

Another point is that i'm very happy with my exclusivity but not with IS. I earn more than before Ex. but there are too many problems with the site and if SS give an Ex I'll maybe make the jump. For now I don't think to become independent.

Not: I become Ex. in april of this year, so even with the very bad time for IS i'm making more than before.
