If let's say, it is decided that you are doing it, then depending on how much time you spend on an average illo, the numbers you are showing are quite reasonable
If you are suggesting that it is still reasonable to average $300 per illustration that is great to hear.

Another factor which complicates the decision is collection placement. This applies to photos, not sure about other types of assets. As a non-exclusive, your content gets placed in a lower price collection vs. exclusives and as I understand it will not move between collections if you become exclusive.
Yes, right this is huge and forgot to mention. I uploaded a new file yesterday and plan on uploading a few more to check out the landscape.

Do I understand it correctly that an average illustration uploaded in ~2007 made $200 in total by now? When was the majority of income made? Did you upload anything more recently, perhaps 2-3 years ago?
Don't worry about the 142.9 rating. This supposedly means income weight as a result of a very biased survey . I uploaded 63 files. I have made a over $20,000 on iStock which is around $300 per file. I don't have my exact numbers because I lost all the data when they went to ESP. Some made a lot and others very little. I am still getting some downloads, but the bulk came in 2009-2012. I dropped exclusivity in 2016 to see what SS was like. My iStock placement and downloads plummeted as expected. The added SS did not make up the difference so I went back to exclusive. They key is in the search results. Most of the old files have moved far down in the search.

Hi All,
Is there a definitive answer on which pays more, iStock exclusive vs multi site approach for vector illustration? Between 2007 and 2011 I uploaded 60+ to iStock and was exclusive. I averaged $200+ with many making $1,500+ over time. The primary advantage was the best match placement. I have been inactive for awhile now, but may start again. I would prefer to just manage one account if the end result is comparable. I understand the "eggs in one basket" risk and don't need feedback on Getty, just curious about the $.
cheers!
I should note, I don't understand the 142.9 Earnings rating on the sidebar.

I have developed an online business model. It is unlike anything that is out there. It caters in a unique way to the Creative Class: writers, musicians, illustrators, fine artists, designers, poets, tattoo artists, photographers, game designers, film produces, brewers, etc. I have done a patentability search and filed for a utility patent.
The back end functionality is very similar to a stock site. It would complement the stock business but provide a much broader revenue stream without competing. Rather than develop the system from scratch, I would prefer to partner with someone who has already developed the vast majority of the code. I thought I would post here in hopes that someone would provide a lead. thecan99(at symbol)gmail.com.
wonderful - just what the world needs - yet another patent squatter!
That's funny. I don't have it yet - it takes around two years. Should we do away with copyrights too?
So are you saying you are planning on patent squatting?
Not at all. I may have misinterpreted the tone of the post, but it seems to be inferring that patents are bad for society.

You've developed a business, but you want to hook up with someone who's already written and implemented it?
Hi Sean, No, I am proposing an alternative business that utilizes the existing back end infrastructure. I think you would appreciate the concept, or at least poking holes in it.

Is Stocksy just selling photos? No illustration?
