Stocker2014 would agree with me that while Biden was getting a bit old for the job and a little incoherent with his speech, he was overall a good leader who served his people well during his tenure as 46th president of the United States.
On behalf of Stocker2014, myself and the Microstock Group forum, we would just like to thank you Joe Biden and the Democrats for your four years of exceptional service and leadership.
Kind regards.

I have become partially reliant on microstock in recent years.
It has helped me to do some things in life I would not be able to do without it and I have a full time job - and I'm not talking about splurging on indulgences here. Rising costs and cost-of-living pressures has eroded my day-job discretionary income quite significantly.
Some people still make a living from microstock and I have to say you have my sincere respect. Clearly you have worked hard and smart to achieve this.
Others, like myself, have microstock as a supplementary albeit necessary side-income. Others have microstock simply as a hobby and making a bit of extra income, at whatever amounts, is like a small reward.

This might not be much for many contributors but it means a lot for me. Even with working full-time I would never of been able to upgrade on my old 2005 Mazda 6 Classic (with 376,000 kms | 233,000 miles) with this 12/2013 Mazda 6 GT 2.5L (with 146,000 kms | 90,000 miles) - at least not without a car loan - which I did this years ago and don't want to do again.
I bought this well-maintained car on the weekend and is fully paid with my microstock earnings - less a small trade in on the old Mazda. The GT is 8 years ahead of my old Classic but seriously feels like 20 years ahead. A grand leap in mod cons and features. Very impressive for a 10 year old vehicle and really nice car to drive.

Had an okay month in July 2024 though earnings were down about 13% from July 2023 even with quite consistent uploading over the year.
$296.43 was the monthly result with an RPD of $2.47 for stills and videos combined.

Was just doing a search of videos of Sydney City on Adobe Stock and came across this AI generated video clip of the city which has basically no resemblance (Link below). At least the clip is flagged as AI but find it strange Adobe would accept this kind of content. https://stock.adobe.com/au/video/city-view-of-sydney-australia/775815216 What do others think about this?

Check out the new Content Statistics page on iStock. This is a welcome feature. Stats are updated daily when filtered for month-to-date. There's some other filter options there too.
Check it out!

Getting a Connection Timed Out error quite regularly. I figure sometimes it might be my internet connection but other times the connection is fine and all other sites load without delay. Anyone else getting connection timed out errors?

I'm seeing my Pond5 sales picking up really well this month. Anyone else having similar results?
Really good to see this with various problems and slowing sales on some other agencies in recent months. Hopefully will see continued sustainable lift in sales on Pond5.

Was going to say this is a hypothetical but the way things are heading it might not be too far off.
So you once made hundreds or thousands of dollars each month on Shutterstock but now making $100 a month is an exceptionally good month.
Yet Shutterstock still reports huge profits - by far the main coming from its data licensing program and AI generations. You can opt out but can you really trust that?
What will you do with your portfolio?
1) Nothing, will continue to upload like I've always done.
2) Keep it up but no longer upload.
3) Disable the port.
4) Close the account.

Went to look at content statistics and nothing there so figure to check royalties and August is there already. Not a bad or great month, pretty average as per the chart....

Overall good month, my best month ever on iStock to date beating my previous BME in March 2023 by 78 cents (aka 0.78$)

Well that's an early arrival. Second best month with an RPD of $2.08 for photos and video combined.
Considering about 112 video licences sold in May (and 30+ images) it's really not a great result overall. Would think video sales would bring up the RPD more.

A BME in February 2023 with an RPD of $2.46 for stills and video combined. Just as well given a very slow month everywhere else in March so far for mine.

A BME in January 2023 with an RPD of $2.49 for images and video combined.

Fourth best month overall with $1.69 RPD for photos and video combined. This is a lower RPD compared to recent months. So not a bad month but not great either.

My Pond5 sales always report once a day at 10.39am AEST or 11.39am AEDT. However, for the first time I've seen a sale dropped in at 1.45 am AEDT. Not complaining, it's just unusual. Maybe all my customers are typically from my area of the world so sales always happen within the usual hours in the reporting cycle. And the commission was pretty good at $58.86. Anyone else have sales report more than once a day?

Second best month but RPD down to $1.63 in September vs $2.97 in August (which incidentally was my BME on iStock).

While my earnings were a tad over double the earnings in April, and over 12x that of May 2021, the downloads report suggested it would of been much more. Even so, May 2022 is my 4th best earnings overall on iStock.

Bit of a surprise really as the download information came in late this month. But anyway, not a great month in April. Better than the last two Aprils though.

I usually don't care much about finding my images in the media and online. Seen quite a few just doing a desktop search. But occasionally I find something that feels really quite cool. Watching television this morning and on comes an ad on Channel 7 about the final showdown debate of contending political party leaders here in Oz with the federal elections coming up later this month. I wasn't able to find the ad online so just took a recording of the tv screen on my phone. The clip goes for barely 1 second at the 8 second mark. Was an aerial drone hyperlapse of Parliament House I did over a year ago. Same clip appeared on a Sky News Australia ad last year. Linked to the Youtube upload below. Sorry for poor quality. Anyone else find your content in the media which you feel proud to see? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBt0V8LRpNU

Second best month ever for a $2.70 RPD overall.
