Hi, I am exclusve at istock for some years. My income rises until 2012, since end of 2012 it drops down very sloooooow, but it drops down. The downloads are falling very fast since istock kills the XS size. I have produced mostly for web concepts and not for fashion or high end customers. The changes of istock in the last years brought me about the same money, and more and more falling downloads. I think its similar at the most of you.

Well - the change NOW I see with very mixed emotions. I produced the mose photos for web - who should pay for a web concept 40$?
Yes, its to early to say anything - but I think about droping my crown. I think about - and I want to ask here for some inspirations for or against my desicion.

I have about 5000 files , earn in the moment about 1000$ (but not this month) - is this realistic to earn the same "outside"? How long should it need to get this sum? I know, its hypothetic, but the guys of you are droping down the crown - how long have you needed?

(sorry for my english)
