General Stock Discussion / Image search ranking
« on: June 27, 2023, 15:18 »
Hi,

I've been following the ranking of a few of my images with specific search terms for 6 months. Which you can find in my blog. There is no analyses involved, just displaying the ranking over this time period. Nice to see is how an image occasionally jumps up and down large amounts in ranking from one day to another. Sadly, we cannot know why as we do not know the ranking algorithms of our beloved microstock agencies.

The images are on my blog: https://pangamediaanalytics.com/blog/search-ranking-of-assets/

I wrote an article about Revenue Per Download (RPD) and Revenue Per Image (RPI). You can read the full article here: https://pangamedia.com/microstock-general/rpi-rpd-the-golden-microstock-statistics/
For those that don't want to read the whole article, here is a quick summary:

I use those stats mainly as a feedback to see whether I am still improving and how I'm improving. Thereby my aim is to keep my RPI the same or improve it. When the RPI is stagnating or decreasing, I can easily spot why (decreasing effort/ quality of my images) and try to improve it once more. Another simple use is of course to look at your RPD per agency and see if it is worth your energy.

Drawbacks are the following:

 - Never look at one of the two separate, moreover you should also know your portfolio size to be able to draw any conclusion.
 - Conclusion really means indication, as there are more factors that have not been taken into account
 - Depending on how much you sell, you should not look at to small time spans (100 downloads a month is sufficient for a monthly time span)


I know at least some people on this forum are using those stats, what do you use them for? Did I miss out on some important features?

Microstock Services / new analytics tool - looking for beta tester
« on: November 28, 2022, 11:28 »
Hi all,

I've been working on a new application that analyses our earnings across several agencies which I plan to sell through a subscription services. However, I would like to have one or two beta-testers so I'm 100% sure that the application works.
The ideal beta-tester should be able to speak Dutch, English or Spanish (I prefer English or Dutch). Furthermore, I am looking for someone with a largish portfolio (and regular sales). I would like you to try out the application and give me feedback on any error that occurs. It would be highly appreciated if we can have an online meeting (zoom/skype etc.) at some point. Another plus would be if you are willing to help me out with testing large updates in the future as well.

What's in it for you? If you are willing to test future updates as well you can use the application freely afterwards. If you do not want to commit to testing possible future updates, I will give you free use of the application for a year.

The application has the following functions:

 - It can check your earnings at regular intervals
 - It gives a notification (if desired) of new earnings
 - Gives an overview of earnings/download per required timespan (alltime-yearly-monthly)
       - overview can be set per agency/mediatype (photo or video)/ licensetype (commercial or editorial)
 - Shows the RPD/RPI and portfolio size per agency over time (alltime-yearly)
 - Generate downloadable tax forms with an overview of your earnings per timespan.
 - Breakdown of buyers metadata (See how it is licensed, what size and where)
 - Breakdown of sold assets metadata (See which duration, codec, image size etc)
 - Keyword overview (see what keyword has sold when and how many times)
 - Image tracker (see what place an image ranks in the search of Shutterstock and Adobestock), track your most popular 
    assets over time so you now when earnings of those image might start to decline.

At the moment I've included the following agencies:
Adobestock, Bigstock, Dreamstime, Depositphotos, Igetty, Shutterstock, Pond5 and Videohive

Please reach out in a message of in private if you are interested!

Cheers,

Jarno
