"Doubled my Jan 2013 earnings today. Going strong. "

That is a huge success!  :)
Considering all I am selling is snapshots.

Then it must be the lenses?

My earnings have almost doubled over last January, too. I had 1,201 images online last year with an RPI of 49 cents, and this year I have 1,765 images online with an RPI of 63 cents. This month isn't completed so the RPI will probably go up a little because I won't be adding that many images, and I expect total earnings will have doubled by the time the month is over. And this is my fourth January.

I will have BME. Lot of sales, every day something, without days with no sales like previous months. Lot of ODD. Things are moving the right way it seems. ;) 0 sales on any other agancies (FT, Pond, DP ..)

   Good to see some contributors doing ok at SS. Sad that I'm not with them.
   My earnings will be bigger than jan2013, but that's because now I have 1750 images and by that time I had less than 500. But the numbers are very dissapointing. RPD is a little down, RPI is 50%, and dlds/no img is 56%. I had a slump in sales last month and not recovering in jan. Actually, dlds no are predicted to be 3+ from dec. $ down...
   I'm a contributor for less than 2 years, but it seems that I hit the wall. Despite adding more than 400 images in the last 3 months, my sales are going down...very depressing.

its kind of obvious but how about new subjects? (free advice of the day!)

I thought I had hit a wall as well, on SS and other sites, my sales stayed pretty much the same, even when continuously adding images. And then in the summer 2013 I saw a steep increase again, it went down again from September onwards, but in the end the bottom line keeps going up and I am 99% confident that January 2014 will be a BME again. So keep adding images, sales go up, sales go down. Its true for me. Most importantly, the bottom line is an upward trend.

   Ron, I hope you're right. But now I don't have much energy to upload more.
   Luis, maybe you're right too. Thanks for advice. But what is weird is the steadiness. I'm projected at this moment to have 3 more dlds than december, this is less than 1% difference. I had two months at SS with the exact number of dlds. And at IS i had 3 credits more in 2013 than 2012. It's like they control our number of sales. Hope I'm wrong.

I had the same exact feeling. Just keep the love for photography alive. I focussed on a few other things when sales went down, setting up my symbio site for example, and after a few months I found my mojo back and continued to submit images. Taking a break can sometimes just give you the energy again to get back in full force.

January and December are the worst months of the year for most people, so don't judge your overall performance by those two months.

Interesting.  December has always been the worst months of the year for me. But January has never been one of them until this year.

But you have 11 more months? Or its a joke that went over my head  :)

Better than Dec '13, glad to see a recovery. Not a BME, but I'm still pleased.

Good point! I guess I'm assuming sales will improve this year. What I meant was that January 2014 is hardly any better than December 2013. That's a first in my experience. Usually January sees a big jump from December.

Wouldn't know about that myself. Increasing portfolio=decreasing sales. last month was a good month. Gave me hope and this month a slump.

February and January both down on last year.... The biggest concern is probably the low amount of new material that is selling. I mean like scary little. I suppose it's just business cycles, though. What I'm selling might not be it right now, but later it might get a bit more popular :)

With 200 files had 9 sales Wednesday, an EL yesterday, and 4 sales so far today (it's early afternoon in NY) - including one 4 year old file that never sold before, so a slowish month is picking up. Trying to stay optimistic.  8)
