I had a bumper month, BME on SS,IS,FT,CanStockPhoto (although only uploaded there last month so wasn't difficult to make BME with 2 sales

) and DT

For both SS and DT I had BME in Sept as well so steadily climbing for me...hope it continues though
SS 42%
IS 20%
DT 18%
FT 12%
CS 6%
The rest is BS and 123RF that are in any case dead for me

Pretty weak month. In fact this month was weaker than October 2009

And it's the only month this year that isn't growth from previous year.

Now I'm hoping to have some massive Thinkstock earnings reported to turn those ugly red numbers into green again...

A so-so month for us.
Down 4.8% from last month
(exclusives on IS).

My worst month this year.

Almost a tie between IS and FT, followed in a distance by DT and BigStock, with CanStockPhoto at 5th. FP ahead of 123RF and Scanstock.

If Zazzle was a microstock site, it would have been 3rd place this month.

I thought it might be just me being hit by the downturn at Istockphoto with my sales in Oct being 10% lower than Sept and 32% down from March. However I just checked the Multimedia Contributor Charts for the first time for a few weeks ... and it turns out I've actually jumped upwards by 5 places.

That's quite a difference as until a few months ago I seemed to be forever sliding backwards.

It was an ok month for me, however this was the first time in 2 years that I did not sell a single image at 123RF which was not cool: Full list of my stock sites are on my website below

Hey guys. I'm a 100% vector artist, so my best sites are usually a little different than most photographers. For me, October was my BME for total sales. Finally hit the $2,000 mark for monthly sales total across all my sites. Woohoo!

For October, my top 3 vector sites were iStock, Shutterstock, and a great little site called ClipArtOf.com.

I detailed out my top 20 vector sites at http://www.graphicgravy.com/?p=180.

BME for me this month for my total Micro sales. Macro up 8% from last year this time with no new uploaded work. Good month all around pretty much equal split between RM/RF and motion.

A bit overdue but I posted my October results on my blog:http://microstockexperiment.blogspot.com/

Very close to September and almost a BME, November will be much lower....
