[cascoly]

FT   12%   bme
BS   11%

[PaulieWalnuts]

Overall another BME for the past 8 months I've been at this.

I deleted my images from AB. I've stopped uploading to StockXpert, BigStock, SV, and FP. Not worth my time regardless of what little time it takes. 123RF seems to really be picking up consistently. IS is by far the most impressive with earnings and growth.

IS   66% (BME, 1EL)
SS   11% (down a bit, overall flat)
FT   11% (BME from 2 ELs)
123RF   5% (good growth, passed DT, catching up with FT)
DT   5% (up a bit)
StockXpert   1% (down a bit)
BigStock   <1% (down a bit every month)
SV, LO, AB, FP = 0%

[Calamity_John]

Well since I am still pretty new I wasn't going to share this month (too small of sample to be relevant) .. but after figuring it out I have to ..  I don't have the most lucrative results but I bet I win for the funniest .. and/or most bizarre ..

60.41% 123
21.85% - SS
6.31% - FT
4.57% - BS
2.91% - FP
1.83% - DT
1.66% - Scanstock
0% - LO, SV, MP, & IS ; )


I got this ridiculous percentage breakdown from:

A. I started some months ago just playing and uploading my landscapes to BigStock, 123, & LO to get my feet wet .. then around Feb. I started adding in the top four (one every few weeks FT .. DT .. SS .. and IS - just a couple weeks back) .. slowly trying to learn to take more stocky shots as well .. and trying to be conscious of approval % before moving on up to the next agency .. (so the result is as the site is better my portfolio is smaller .. )

B. So as seems typical for newbies even thought this was my first month at SS. they were by far out doing my larger (but not really stocky) portfolios on the other sites ..

C. and then a few days back some generous soul went crazy on my 123 portfolio .. and spent a couple hundred non sub. credits on a pair of my images .. (still knocking on wood that this isn't a computer glitch .. but it has been six days now .. knock knock knock) .. 

D. Hey and I just got into Stockxpert today (on try #2)  ... a bit of nice news .

take care .. and thanks for all your helpful posts ..

[DanP68]

Canstock & Crestock both tied at 0%, although Canstock showed improvement and Crestock was down. 

So much for our big plan of getting rich together at Crestock.   

[Peter]

April was 30% worse than Mart. 

as usual:

FT 40%
SS 30%
DT 15%
StockXpert 5%
IS, 123RF 10%

[MicrostockExp]

1. FT 37 %  up BME
2. SS 29 % down
3. IS 12 % up
4. DT 7 % up
5. 123RF 6 % down
6. StockXpert 5 % up

First sale at Panthermedia this month

PS : Congrats Dan on the $ 300 , hope I will join you next month !
Race for $ 500 then ? 

[DanP68]

Hah!  I will be happy just to make it back to $300 this month.  Assuming no EL's, and a bunch of holidays, it could be tough to do again.

I think $500 is realistic target for September, as we come out of the summer doldrums.  Should have enough fresh material by then to make it reality.  Here's to a big second half of the year for all of us!   

[lisafx]

Canstock & Crestock both tied at 0%, although Canstock showed improvement and Crestock was down. 

So much for our big plan of getting rich together at Crestock.   

So that's what happened!  You joined up and there went all my sales! 

Here's hoping we will both do better there this month!

[DanP68]

Yep, apparently I stole at least 1 sale from you, because I notice 25 cents sitting in my account at the end of the month.   

[travelstock]

Wy off topic, but the pie chart above reminded me of this... actually every pie chart these days does...

[mjp]

My total % are here:

IS (BME) 26%
SS 16%
FT 9%
StockXpert 10% (bme)
DT 12% (bme)

Local midstock: 22%
Rest goes to low earners.


Local midstock have almost 3000 images, IS +700 images and the rest about 1250 images.

[CofkoCof]

This month has been incredible for me, never thought I can earn 485$ in my third full month in stock business. Vectors are the key. Here is my breakdown:
SS 76,03 (second full month)
123RF 5,69
DT 5,28
StockXpert 4,93 (got accepted at the end of April)
FT 4,83
IS 2,93 (first full month)
BigStock 0,31

BME across all sites with a total increase of 447%.

[madelaide]

My April and 2008 numbers, with 2007 for comparison:

Site	2007	2008	Jan	Feb	Mar	Apr	May	Jun	Jul	Aug	Sep	Oct	Nov	Dec
IS	26%	28%	22%	37%	26%	26%
DT	16%	21%	30%	16%	18%	22%
StockXpert	20%	18%	19%	12%	22%	21%
FT	13%	12%	8%	11%	16%	13%
BigStock	8%	5%	8%	5%	5%	3%
123	4%	5%	5%	8%	3%	4%
FP	3%	5%	2%	3%	4%	10%
CanStockPhoto	2%	1%	1%	1%	1%	<1%
LO	2%	2%	3%	1%	2%	0%
Scan	1%	<1%	0%	<1%	1%	<1%
CS	<1%	~0%	0%	0%	0%	~0%
Zymm	<1%	2%	3%	5%	2%	0%
rest	4%	<1%	3%	1%	<1%	~0%

Overall a very bad month, 30% below February, which was my BME.

A small decrease in IS, nearly stable in DT and 123RF, significant reductions in StockXpert, BigStock and FT. Excellent month in FP - 2nd BME, losing only for a month in which I had an EL. 

Two sales in CanStockPhoto, one (subs) in CS, one sale in Scan and - surprise! - one in Gimmestock.  SPM is back to none for three months.  Nothing also in LO, Albumo, SV, Zymm, MP, Gecko.

Regards,
Adelaide

[Pixart]

SS 38%
IS 26%
DT 13%
FT 9%
BS 7%
SX 3%
123 3%

2nd best month overall.

No signs of life Zym, MP, FP.   
6 sales at LO, but not enough to get second payout.

[madelaide]

It seems I was the only person with bad results in April.

Adelaide

[Pixart]

Ah, but you had a good Feb and mine sucked.  We must be on opposite search rotations!
