Earnings from sales of photos in April 2012

A great month – April doesn’t normally outsell other months of the year, but this month I romped home with total sales of just over $1450 – a personal best. The month was helped by three sales on Alamy, for a total of $214, three video downloads on Pond5 for $75 and another great month on Shutterstock of $513. iStock recovered from a poor March to end with $271 compared to $235, and the other sites were OK if not at their best. That makes three sites with a best month ever earning total for April – Shutterstock, iStock and Alamy. I’ll post some of the better selling images in the next few days, but here are the normal graphs I publish each month:

Earnings History


Earnings per site

Online files per site

2012 Earnings per site

As you can see, I have continued to upload files regularly and consistently, and now have 2559 images online on Shutterstock. I will work out the earnings per image per month for Q1 of 2012 now that all the results are in and post that in the coming days.

Time to open the bottle of champagne…
