Well, at least I have people to commiserate with. :'(
Terrible weekend. But hey, August is a long month
and we all know how quickly things can change. ;D

August also started with a weekend and it's only the 4th !

I got another 0 day (Aug 3rd). July was my WMY. Other than July I can't remember when my last 0 day was there. probably 2008 or before. The $ total is very dependent on non sub sales these days, and July wasn't so good for those plus less total DL than 2011 and 2012 too.

i got 8 dollars or so on Aug 3, which is a sunday. which is odd for me, i never get anything on a sat or sunday, mostly pennies if ever.  i wonder if they r making up for those blackouts last month.
still, i don't judge to jump until i see the end of the month and something much larger in single downloads.
the only shortfall i got in the past 5 months was april vs last year. so maybe it 's not so bad 4 me to grumble, but i am a total ingrate  8)

i think the quote was misnamed, and your reply was meant for pancake tom.
my portfolio is not BIG big, but honest, i never get anything for sat and sun.
but i do get 84.67$ , 105$ single download enough for a good june and may 1.76% 1.89% respectively but july was a sad 1.02% without any BIGBIG single sale  8)

Same here. July BME and then August with miniscule number of sales so far.

Only a 3rd of my earnings compared to this time last month. Appalling drop for so called the top microstock site.

Still an abysmal month. The worst in a long long time.

Very very bad month if it continues like this. 50% down from BME

I was having a good month - until today. It's as though someone turned the tap off at midnight. The only things that have been selling are really old files that haven't seen the light of day for a while. Very curious...

So far so good-560dl. Can't complain :)
How many files on Shutterstock do you have if I may ask? Just so I can compare with my number of DLs.

Thank you.
