It seems to me that i have been getting more and more SODs on SS recently. Is this a trend that people are seeing? I would like to think this is happening more often due to SS getting more and more buyers from new markets. Do you think your SOD sales have improved the last few weeks/months? Mine is clearly over 15% from previous months so i just want to know if its good timing for me right now or generally happening.

 I had a lot of sod sales in february- and very few in march

Yeah.

My SOD sales have increased by 2300% (in earnings) from February, and it's only 19.3. now.

And here the same. I have days with more OD/SOD DLs than regular 25d sales...
Thank you  SS! 

Yes, many more than usual for me this month.

Had a very nice group of SOD sales in February.  Almost none except two .36 ones so far in March.  I expect it is the same as all sales, a certain amount of randomness.

I'm seeing pretty soft SOD numbers, actually. Not far off of last year's numbers, but not improving at all really.

Some more SODs as usual in my case in 2014

more than ELs

In February I had my first two SODs, now in March nothing (up to now).

My port in SS is relatively small and so far, I have had two <$5 SODs. I would love to see more and higher value ones, but I think without people images in my port, I may not get that many !

In 2014 i see an increase in SOD compared with 2013.... Not bad SS , not bad at all 

A clearly increasing trend in ODs and SODs at Shutterstock! 

In my mind it just reinforces SS's position as the industry leader with an improving capture rate, both in volume and in prices.

It also blows away a myth that so many other stock sites seem to be pursuing - dumping rates to sub type levels thinking that it will bring them market success.  That kind of strategy only devalues our work.  And generates less revenue both for the contributor and often for the agency itself (except perhaps 'cases' like DP- Shotshop!!).

I haven't seen a hug uptick in SODs, but there have been some, and they are always nice to get 

Big increase. BDE yesterday, on track for BME this month. 

Yes, they are definitely more here too

yes

An old thread up, I know.

Another year regular situation as March has came with bunch of SoDs again. Anyone else?

I've noticed that March and April are best months for SoDs. Nice, fat, full and shining $ coming I've already (in 6 days of March) earned more than usually in whole month! I wouldn't complain if it stays for good
