I enjoyed my BME in March. I missed it in April by a miserable 3% - However, given the absence of EL's  combined with a truly rotten Easter weekend, the final haul was more than satisfactory.

Ive had nearly the exact same downloads as in March. Unfortunately no 28 or 80 dollar downloads and only one video sale. So although the downloads were fine, my royalties were down 57% for April. But since I am indie, my risk is spread and overall I am just down 14% compared to March. That is fine and normal for a month with a lot of holidays.

Feb was my BME.  April was down a bit from March.  I usually get a nice big sale or two but this month was all little stuff.

28% down compared to March, hopefully just the holidays causing the dip

Down 24 %: Holidays + Notmuchgoodnewmaterialfromme + 260000newimagesthisweek = Desaster

An average month, a few percent up on the previous year and a few percent down on March. Sales volume was on the low side but the ELs were good.

My sales were down 15% in April on Shutterstock... even with some fresh uploads.  Ebb and flow, however.  I'm not exactly worried just yet.  But what troubles me is that the "feed the beast" method just doesn't work so well anymore.  It hasn't for several years now.  Keep on maintaining your momentum, or you will lose.  That's what's happening to me.  I went through a nasty divorce last year, and that screwed me over workflow-wise.

Has anyone else had a really slow couple of days? My sales on shutter have been tiny for about 2-3 days.

Labour day in whole Europe and many other countries, followed by a weekend, with just a Friday in between. Nothing to worry about: I'm looking forward to a great May starting from tomorrow.

My Numbers are Down for the first part of May, I'm not certain if Holidays in Europe are the cause as I can't compare numbers to last May. Can anyone else?

April was BME but May started 1/3 lower in daily average. SODs and ELs rescue daily totals for now.

Huge day yesterday and one today so far. I guess they're playing with the search engine again.

So if sales are tanking on IS and SS does that mean nobody is buying ?
