Only about 50% compared to last month when I had a lot of ELs and a big sale on Alamy, but still very strong and should be a second BME once iS sub sales are in. SS #1 (BME for DLs but not $$$), then iS, 123, DT and Canstock. BMEs on FT and DP at #s 6 and 7. Others much lower but hanging in there. No ELs anywhere for the first time this year but overall can't complain.

BME by a ton. BME at several of my top agencies, including SS, DT, GR. Made over $100 at my own site, which is pretty astonishing.

Congrats on that! My own site pulled in over $100 in March too, for the first time. Sales there seem to be gradually picking up steam. And it is the most satisfying money I have ever made

A good month for me, but not spectacular. Considering the fact that I was mostly out playing and not processing or uploading it was pretty nice.

the top 4 were:
SS
Veer (BME here)
DT
123rf (BME - but he RC total was still too low to not get a cut next year)

Congrats to both of you. It is nice to see other people doing well with their stores.

Hey everyone, my breakdown was as follows:

Shutterstock 64% (lots of ELs in March)
Dreamstime 15%
iStockphoto 10%
123RF 6%
Pond5 3%
CS + GL + Veer + BigStock = 1%

Good luck in April!

IS - Best month of this year. Not good, but not very bad either.
SS - A new record in download numbers. Too bad I had only 2 EL's, hence no BME. Solid month.
DT - Same as usual, DT is very steady for me.
FT - Very weak
Veer - Bad month, no ELs

cascoly · « **Reply #35 on:** April 02, 2012, 18:52 »

BME at SS, Big, YAY

2nd BME overall, and almost 30% better than 2011 average which included my BME

travelstock · « **Reply #36 on:** April 02, 2012, 23:49 »

BME for me at IS for $$, but download numbers are down. Also, BME at Pond 5 and SS for video sales (but still both very low numbers).

Oh that's great news Simon! I often wonder how those who made the switch to independence are doing, and it's wonderful to hear that it's been so successful for you. Congrats!

Congrats also to those who are doing well with direct sales from their own sites. That's great to hear!

BME with SS ,+ 40% more income compared with my previous BME.

BME with FT (by far my second earner) +25% more revenue than my previous BME.

DT, steady decline in sales and revenue with every month

123RF normal.

The total revenue pie :

SS - 65%
FT - 20%
DT - 10%
123RF - 5%

Solid.

This must be the latest I have ever posted details of sales and earnings - but my excuse was that I did spend 2 weeks in England and was too busy taking photographs....

March was very good - just $15 short of my best ever, with fine performances from Fotolia with $106 and 123RF with $115. Neither site has ever been above about $70 before. Would have been a great month if iStock hadn't fallen back from around $270 to just $212 for the month.

More graphs and text on my blog as usual, but here is the main graph of growth in earnings. I have around 2700 images on line - some sites more, some less.
