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 [...]

 | I am very late uploading my usual graphs of earnings for March –I went off to England at the end of March and am only just back (with some more images to process and upload). March was a pretty good month –not my best,but only $15 below that peak. Shutterstock hit a [...] February started really well on Shutterstock with three enhanced license downloads in the first 3 days of the month,but then it slowed up… Overall,though,the month was pretty much on par with recent months with total earnings of $1120. I worked hard in the early part of the month to get as many [...] A new year starts in a pretty reasonable fashion with total earnings of around $1150. It isn’t just good enough to keep me on track for my 2012 target of $18000,but there are still plenty of months and plenty of images to upload between now and the end of the year! I added around [...] I’ve just published my December stock photo earnings results,and thought it would be helpful to review the year –how I did,what changed,lessons learned and thoughts for 2012. First,a graph of earnings per site through 2011: Annual earnings in 2011 The December results showed the growth in earnings,but in [...] The December results are pretty good,and also quite consistent from month to month. Although December obviously has two major holidays,and work tends to slow down in many offices,the final sales of $1188 are better than I expected. Shutterstock came in really well with a couple of Enhanced Licenses on Friday (of the [...] I’ve been doing some analysis of my portfolio to try to work out if the earnings have risen because of the number of images online,or if other factors are coming into play. The answers are fascinating! Although there is a lot of doom and gloom in the stock industry,with the common view that [...] Another pretty good month –even though the Thanksgiving holiday in the US depressed sales in the final week (especially on iStock). Overall sales again beat the $1000 barrier to come in at $1068. Not as good as last month’s $1300,but there were not at many big ticket sales. Veer was $31 instead of [...] Another great month! I have now easily beaten the $1200 barrier and ended the month with sales of $1262.67,beating last months record by a cool $200. Most of the sites did well,with Shutterstock setting its own record with $451 and iStock maintaining a steady performance of over $200 in the past 3 months. [...] The summer lull has definitely passed,and September turned in the best month to date in terms of earnings. Shutterstock roared ahead with a personal best on that site of $415,beating a previous high of $386 set back in April. The sales of the cat images as enhanced downloads certainly helped –all told [...] |
