Title: Windfall on Shutterstock on Thursday?!!
Post by: lisafx on April 26, 2013, 15:06
I have been offline a couple of days, and just signed in to check my stats at SS and discovered that my total for yesterday, Thursday 4-25 was over TEN TIMES what it normally would be.  For some reason there were a ton of "Single and other downloads" for $13.50-$16.50. 

Anyone else, or was it just me hitting the microstock lottery?

This thread explains it all,  Sadly I wasn't part of this 'lottery' but it's understandable.  Great to hear so many others caught a nice break though!

Ah.  Silly me.  I looked for this topic but didn't think to look under the title "do I have to worry". 

Would be lovely if people could title threads in a way that gave at least a clue what they are about....  ::)

That makes too much sense.  Congrats on a good day.

No problem, without Ponke around it might just stay there.

Same here, got 6 SOD's yesterday and all appear to be from the same location. After reading the other thread I'm a bit skeptic. $12.60's and $15.40's.

I was wondering the same.  I take a day or two off from obsessively reading this forum and missed some fireworks, I'm guessing...

Someone suggested he take a time out and he decided he would.

yes, he was being argumentative contrary, although so was the other person (people). then he asked about why he couldn't + or - so presume those privileges were removed.

Too many doom and gloom things been going on.

Wheras I'm having a shocker this month on Shutterstock - shows that one person's one month figures are not very meaningful statistically. Still time for that "lottery" though!

if it's any consolation my iS last month was WME (just need another 40c to beat WM2012), and I'm in the "building port" stage when that shouldn't happen.

I'm "building" too I try and take the long view a WME somewhere is usually compensated elsewhere! I stock is picking up for me so who knows?

   BDE for me. Got a $28.00 ED, and three Single & Others totaling $100.80. One of those was for $70.80.
  Total sales for the day was $149.42.  All were Food and everyday Objects.

Thanks Cathy and Gillian for the update on Poncke's absence.  :)

Sometimes it's good to take a breather.  I find I need them more lately.  Things get pretty hot around here!
