If I'm surpassing my previous targets, I'm doing well. If I'm not, it's disappointing. I should do a full post on this...there are a lot of "ways to win" this game!

If you've covered this elsewhere, my apologies. Rahul Matt,

In February we had 8/28 weekend days = 28.5%. May tho is 10/31 = 32% weekend. When figuring out your earnings for that month, that + holidays ALWAYS comes into play. Same for December.

($ per mth)/(days in mth) this standardises the result and gives me a figure I can compare from month to month. Although I guess if more weekends happen to fall in a particular month it might be a bit skewed. The figure I use to see if I’m ‘winning’ is the average earnings per day per month.

I'm holding on for the agencies...I really care more about being able to see little bits of LOTS of agencies than in depth on IStock. lol Absolutely ok :) I like the discussion – it’s good to hear what people want AND what you can already do.

We will add the ability to create groups (by shoot, keyword, model etc) and let you track those earnings as well. Happy to chat/email about this anytime. (Matt - hope it's ok to post a link here.)

It's really a short cyclical factor in this case. I will correct this in the future. Regarding the point, I think as portfolios grow, knowing what is selling and what is not and how that overlaps with your strengths should help. Having said that, your argument has merit as well.
