Yes!? My goal was to hit $500 for only the third month ever (first since my BME last July) and I did it!
Full earnings spreadsheet is here.
With February’s income totaled, I have reached $508.89
BME: IStock, Fotolia, CanStock (DT $1.10 off)
Shutterstock went up $45 this month, a decent start but not where I want to be.? I expect Shutterstock to be well into the $300s for March.? I am starting to gain traction there again so I hope to regain my momentum.
Dreamstime nearly hit a? BME but failed by $1.10 to reach it.? It was my third month in four with basically $103.
IStock is the same old, same old.? Still 89 images but a new BME of $17.81 so whatever change they made to Best Match has helped me lately.? My last two months are my best two months in 4 years.
Fotolia did the expected and more than doubled this month due to my doubling of portfolio size.? Last month I went from 646 images online to 1350 and now at 1599 so a huge leap from Fotolia was expected and received.? Fotolia became just my third agency to start crossing the $50 barrier.
123RF and Bigstock did about usual.? No surprises.? I would like to see some growth though.? These two were earning $22-30 for me in June and same now but I’ve added nearly 800 new images!
StockXpert continues to improve.? my second $30+ in a row with only my EL month beating it (2nd BME).? I like the reviews there, I’m climing up their user charts and everything is starting to go well for me there.
The only other real surprise this month was Canstock.? I have been dumping my portfolio on Canstock because of the new Fotosearch acquistion of CSP and so far so great!? My previous *FOUR YEAR* earnings were $61 on around 125 images and lately on 470 images.? I finished uploading my portfolio so I now have just over 2000 images there and this month made $26.55 which is HALF of my all-time earnings there!? It won’t make me rich but it’s a start for Canstock.? When Canstock finishes 5th on your list, you know something is weird!
Yaymicro, FotoMind, MostPhotos and most of my small and new sites (Image Catalog, CutCaster, Vivozoom) all were at $0 for the month.? When I do Powerweek I will NOT be uploading to those sites.
