Number of downloads are amazing at SS this month! I'm 46% up compared to the first 12 days from last month. I was afraid that summer might be bad for sales. I did not upload 46% extra so buyers are buying more. Are others seeing the same? I hope it stays like this or is july normaly a good month at SS? It's my first year there.

My sales are down but doubt its of any statistical significance

Did you go up from 1 to 2 sales, or from 100 to 146 sales?

368 at this point. Last month my first 12 days gave me 246 sales. For me its a huge difference. I don't have a port of thousants of images just 435. So I hope it will stay like this.  I am growing about 100 extra downloads average every month since I bought my home studio. This makes creating more images allot easyer but it's not only my new work. Older images seem to sell better all of the sudden.

ha! good one.
I'm still on 0 at GL so I can't wait to announce I've made infinity % improvement.

You seem to be doing phenomenally well with 368 sales from 450 image. I'm at 500 sales from 4000 images, so good luck to you!

Is it your portfolio with the stuffed bears in different posed positions? Nice idea.

Had an INCREDIBLE start to the month at SS this month. In the first 12 days I've nearly made as much as I did last month! Not so much due to a huge spike in downloads, but to a good number of ED's and SOD's for good $$.

Already will be a BME, but if the same pace were to keep up for the rest of the month the records will be getting smashed, not just broken.

Agree with Leo, it's always a pretty consistent earner usually. And a HUGE +1 on the upping commissions, this would cement their place as a crowd favourite if they did.

Okay month so far and I am selling photos of my house with snow on it - go figure, snow pics selling in early July?

I've been selling Xmas images every week. although mine are summer xmas images, and I suppose you could 'shop out the xmas bit and have a summer image as a bonus.

Plus, there's also the fact that it is winter on half the planet... 

There must have been a search engine change then.  My sales are noticeably slow at SS this month.  I was assuming it was summer slump, but if others are having a good month then it's more likely a search change.

I'd agree with that - after a strong month in June with lots of OD's this month has been slogging along at a much slower pace.

Im on 100 dls so far this month, from 300 images online. Seems same as last month, but more old stuff selling this month.

Sales of 'new' stuff off a cliff for the last month......

My best seller went from the first page "above the fold" on my laptop screen to page 2 (and sales have plummeted accordingly).

The last 3 weeks have been pretty sad on the "overall earnings" graph.
