To me August was better than September on the same period. :(
First 10 days of september were great, in number of downloads and OD's.Yes, same here. Since last Friday, sales are back on an August level (which was not good for me)...
But the last few days have been really slow.
Bad bad bad and badder...............
:(
Sales are up vs August (of course!) but not where they should be. I'm still down vs. the first half of Sept 2013, and it's clear why. The amount I was able to grow my port (around 20%) was outpaced by the flood of new uploads to SS and the others. If you can't keep up with this flood, you drown.
Even though sales have increased, I'll have to say no because of the time of year. It should be a lot better.Same here. My Sept 2014 on SS may beat my August 2014 a little but historically Sept should be a lot better than Aug. My Sept 2014 will be down at least 10% from Sept 2013, and down 20%+ from Sept 2012. I am not keeping my head above water in the flood :'(

After one month at microstock, my daily RPI was 11 cents. After two and a half years, my daily RPI is 11 cents. Yes, there was fluxuation... in the summer, it hung around 10 cents, and in the best months like March and November it was steady at 12 cents. Draw all the comparisons you want to a roulette wheel, saying nearly a thousand days of roughly the same RPI is mere coincidence. Since your experience is different from mine, I must be wrong, right? I'll just keep doing what I'm doing, since it seems one of us must be doing something right.
Still strong here. Best month in a year. All others sites ..DEAD. except DP and 123. very reasonable.
I have exceeded my BME by 6% and I am expecting it to go up to 10% by COB tomorrow.
Is today holiday day somewhere?
September ended up being my second BME on SS and so far strong DL numbers this week for October so things seem to be improving. (DT and Alamy did okay in September too).
October looking to be BME... I'm having so many SOD's and EL's that it's not even funny!
How's your October going?
It means time to option out of the DollaPhotoClub!
What does this mean?

SS is now abysmal for sales. Why it is the top rated here I do not know. IS earning me much more now.

trust that I have complained my fair share But, Bottom Line they are selling more than any other site and a Lot of folks are making very good money. Is it about the work? and commercial Value? Could be......Just saying.
The change of your tune is remarkable. You were always saying you were more concerned about others, now you do well again, and you change your tune about SS?SS is now abysmal for sales. Why it is the top rated here I do not know. IS earning me much more now.

October started out great for me at SS, then after the first week or so my earnings took a nosedive. Over the past couple of weeks sales have been significantly lower than normal. Very disheartening considering that October is usually my best month of the year otherwise. I think they must have changed the search algorithm.

Please enlighten me why you disagree ;D
I am 38% down from last month. Did SS change into IS?

I did not minus you, but I don't think anyone disagrees with your stats. The switch flipping idea seems far fetched tho. I get the swings too, but they seem random to me. I doubt there is a plot against us.
So far +65% from last month. 550 images in my portfolio... Small.

Is last week pretty horrible to everyone or just me?Yes, new content selling less, but overall earnings are the same for me. Must be some sort of Best match switch again.
I mean, in the graph which shows overall earnings, there's a small drop, but in the "earnings from new content", it fell to like 20% of it's normal value.
It seems [Just to me perhaps] there has been an uptick in sales the last 10 Days or so as I watch this stuff very closely. Newer Images selling,More OD's and SOD's and Higher number of subs. Anyone else. a few friends who are Old timers also have said the same. I don't mean it's WhoHoo time but, it feels better.
It's September. At least for my history that's the answer. Yours might be different. No complaints, doing nicely, above the average of any Summer month.It seems [Just to me perhaps] there has been an uptick in sales the last 10 Days or so as I watch this stuff very closely.
