Title: average percentage of income from single image sales in a month?
Post by: VB inc on March 14, 2013, 22:35
What percentage of your months total income comes from single image sales? Being new on SS, the downloads are so much more than when i was exclusive on istock. Does anyone see more than 25% of their months income on single image sales? is there a trend that this percentage is rising or falling?

Not sure if this is what you are asking but for me subs have been only about 40% of total income at SS Jan-Feb and Mar of 2013. OD's about 40% and singles around 18%

February's non-sub(single and on demand) income was 64% of total, January's non-sub was 60%.  I don't know about everyone else's experience, but it seems that the more new files I upload, the more non-sub downloads I get.

So far this month on SS my sub sales account for 43% of total earnings and other sales (EL's, OD's and SOD's) account for 57%. The trend has been moving in favour of single image sales for at least a couple of years.

I'm running at about 35% subs this month.  It's usually more but having a particularly good month for non-sub sales.

Overall, since single image sales were added, my percentage is about 4% of commissions.

I had one week with a couple of big dollar single image sales that put that percentage at near 50% for that week, I have several weeks with zero single image sales.

For me, the last 12 months have been a roller coaster for percentage of earnings from Singles:

2%   6%   12%   7%   13%   14%   11%   11%   17%   21%   15%   2%

This is the trend from Mar 2012 to Feb 2013.

I'm a newbie at SS (since June 2012) and I should really only count from August (first month with regular sales) but my average to date of sales from subs is 48%. So 52% comes from ODD's, SOD's and EL's. In November I was lucky to get 2 big SOD's for $50+ and that certainly boosted the average.

100% photo's, no vectors, no clips, no people. I think luck has had a lot to do with it!
