In terms of earnings, down 57% on last month and down 17.5% on May 2023. That said, wasn't a terrible month and probably a bit better than average.

Best month of the year, but far from best month ever.

Worst Month since August 2023 for me - to be honest there was not a single good month in 2024 so far.

Congrats, yuriy, on your good month. Keep it up.

I'm down over $250 from the previous month, so a little bit disappointed.

FYI, I'm really liking the new DeepMeta. It's helping me visualize the types of images doing best on istock. Makes a difference in my output. As much as I like coming up with all new stuff, I need to focus on what sells and deliver more of that.

thanks, my port is not very large so we're not talking a lot of $ here but it's nice to see progress (especially after a bunch of very stagnant months).  i had 2 large image sales which drove the month, it would be pretty average without them.

I checked the sales report by posting it on deep meta. I noticed that it did not match the newly edited statistics reports. I could not compare it because there were many photo sales, but in video sales, a few videos shown as sold in esp do not appear in the earnings reports.

...  I had 2 large image sales which drove the month, it would be pretty average without them.

That's what it's all about. We're reliant on large image sales. What I've noticed is that it's not necessarily my 'best' files which have the highest value sales, it's just what a specific buyer needed at the time.

For me, I had the biggest number of sales since Feb 2020, and actually the best rpd of the year (though that's not saying much), so my BMY, but e.g. last May the rpd was much higher, so I earned much more with far fewer sales.  Still, we can't do a thing about rpd, so ....  ::)

As BT1976 noted, the sales don't match the new stats reports, but no two sets of figures ever seem to match on iS. Smoke and mirrors, aka mushroom management.

average month, 2 larger sales (for IS that is).   

Whenever I see "larger" IS Sale I can't help but thinking how much they make of you, considering generous 15% rate.     And yes, Deep Meta stats are large improvement, but how many man hours have gone historically into that overblown tool.  Someone has to pay for it, and guess who it is.  I'd rather have something bare bones with decent (read respectful) compensation rate.

Worst month since...I don't even know - past 5 years or so? Can't remmeber when was the last time that I made that little money.
Hard to imagine that iStock was my best selling agency not all that long ago. Now even Dreamstime earns me more money than iStock.  :o

Yes, that's what I was referring to as improvement. And what happens with standalone monolithic DeepMeta app? Obsolete? After who knows how many man hours of development (cost). Classic example of poor architecture in software terms. Just like everything else on IS platform, including clumsy, rigid and completely unnecessary managed keywords concept.

I still find the DeepMeta app the easiest way to upload my images.
