I was just looking at my payment history page ( http://submit.shutterstock.com/payment_history.mhtml (http://submit.shutterstock.com/payment_history.mhtml) ) and thought if everybody has the same percentage of earnings from US Source vs. Non US Source?
My stats (I calculated from only 2 last payments, but they were big ones, 2000+ dollars each):
US Source 25%
Non US Source 75%
Located in Europe
I would be interested to hear if yo have similar figures...?
-
Over the past two payments:
U.S. Source, 42 percent
Non U.S. Source, 58 percent
I'm in the U.S.
-
US 49
None US 51
-
US 12%
Other 88%
-
^^ Can you please also tell your approximate location?
-
US 12%
Other 88%
Europe with a lot of very generic people shots. I'm surprised that I don't sell more in the US as I often go for what I think is the American look.
ETA - Oops I was looking at the wrong figures. I am actually between 25 and 40% US depending on month.
-
My percentage varies between 20-35% US source, depending of the month. I am located in Europe.
-
I ran the all time numbers. 35 percent U.S., 65 percent non-U.S.
-
22% US / 78% Other
I'm in the US but have NO released shots with people (scant Editorial) if that's of any value to identifying buyers?
-
36% US - 64% Other (all time)
-
Mine seems to average about 60/40 in favor of Non US sales. Which is interesting since I'm in the US.
-
My US sales are only 17.6% of the total. Based in Europe.
-
Mine (all time) are: 33% US, 67% other
Based in US

I just did a little research and found this:
http://www.go-gulf.com/blog/online-ad-spending (http://www.go-gulf.com/blog/online-ad-spending)
Global Online Ad Spending By Region
Region 2010 2011 2012
North America 40.8% 41.7% 41.8%
Western Europe 30.0% 28.8% 28.0%
Asia-Pacific 23.9% 24.1% 24.6%
Eastern Europe 2.7% 2.7% 2.7%
Latin America 2.1% 2.2% 2.3%
Middle East & Africa 0.4% 0.5% 0.7%
So it shouldn't be any surprise that most of our sales come from outside the US. According to this about 60% of Online Advertising is done outside the US.

Based in U.S.
January through July of this year: 54.5% U.S., 45.5% Non U.S.
Highest Non-U.S. month February: 24.7% U.S., 75.3% Non U.S.
Highest U.S. month July: 73.5% U.S., 26.5% Non U.S.
-
for first six months of 2012 it was 25.6% for US source
for whole 2011 year was 20.4% for US source.
-
Around 33% income US, 67% Non-US.
Based in Canada.
-
But this is the US against the rest of the world? I would have been surprised if the numbers would show the US as the biggest buyer. Its one country against the rest. No?
-
10-20% US sales, based in Europe
-

Worlds biggest economy by decent way, maybe bigger than western europe.
People are also interested because the tax is different whether the sales are from the US and from non-US

As I mentioned in this thread (http://www.microstockgroup.com/bigstock-com/us-vs-non-us-major-shift-at-bs/) (same topic but for BigStock) my SS split over the last year was 42.1% US and 57.9% non-US. I'm based in Washington State

For me, the monthly total counts. You can slice and dice MS any way you want, but in the end you don't control it. I am done being frustrated with trying to figure it all out. I refuse to shoot for any one agency because they do or don't like a kind of image, such as dark images (like SS hates). Whether US (for me) or Abroad I cannot satisfy them all. And honestly this can explain why I do crummy on some sites and better on others while my competition does the opposite.

Off topic...
Interesting, my sales in Middle East and Africa are around 15-18% ( same stuff that is selling in US and Europe).
