I am just curious if anyone out here�that submits new content weekly�has similar result in their earnings chart?

i sell  about 8-10x more per week then  you, graph  is  little worse last  8weeks then mine, not much. trend mine is also similar. thank you for posting.

mine is much more sporadic than yours with a slight trend towards growth rather than decline.

i always keep a batch ready to submit while there is a batch in review so there is a constant flow of new stuff into my port even when I am too busy to be shooting new stuff at certain times of the year.

No, I have the opposite of your.

Same here. See attached. I only add 2-3 photos per week (if any)

What's interesting with the graphs on display here and other posts is, if you cut off the tops of the peaks they fill the troughs and you get a steady average. A simple pointer would be, a very large peak is often followed by successive drops until a balance is established (the average of the highs and lows match the overall average over a larger period of time). I think it's part and parcel of their ranking system.

If you create a rolling 30, 60 & 90 day average it irons out the larger swings and you can see the overall trend from a smoother line. A rolling 7 day average is also a useful stat to track. The 60 & 90 day trackers + the 7 day one allowed me to forecast my earnings for the coming week..... was 94% accurate. The joys of being an ex-city analyst :-)

Mine chart is very variable. Maybe it is because most of my earnings are from video sales.

Thanks! So do you think I'm doing pretty good then? 

Hard to say, It's all relative. What's good to one person will be poor to another. The "Yay, my incomes gone up by 50%" might only mean $10 extra for some while others it could be several hundred $'s for others. My poor week would be considered excellent to you or others. It's all relative and you can only monitor the progression of your own business and how well it's doing based on the effort put in. You can't compare it to others as there are too many variables. They could employ staff, upload 1000's a week etc.

Also, if you stop supplying to an agency and the level of income flatlines or dips slightly, it could be considered bad but if the reason you have stopped is making you more money than you would have made if you carried on supplying at the same level, then it's good.

Lol! 

Put up May to May. Maybe better??! 

Not much! I mean, yeah, there's a definite upward trend which is great, but it's very intermittent compared to everyone else!

Hmmm...My portfolio size is over 6,100. That could make a difference in daily sales. I think the others have more as well. 

To me the SS system is somewhat rigged.  When I had no video with 3800 images, I made $800-$1200 a month. Now, a year later, I have 1,100 videos and still only make $800-$1200 a month. The system just split my controlled income between the two asset types.  Of course I got into video to grow my income but that has NOT happened on SS. I have nearly 5,000 assets there today. I often wonder if it would be better to pull my videos and start a new account there.

funny i was thinking the same thing all of the past months.
but i did not say so, as those ppl come in and say another conspiracy theorist.
but i can only speak for myself, ...
each time i reach that monthly average, i see as if someone flipped the switch and i see a lot of 0 days till end of the month.
in this sense, i always hope i get the large single 28 to 102 at the end of the month,
although even that has all disappeared for months too.
but really, if i reach my monthly average on the first day, i can almost be sure i will see zero days
for the rest of the month.

Thanks!
