Everything down - sales (not that i've ever been a big seller), views, lightboxes - my work hasn't changed I don't think - other members have told me of similar experience - has the way they market istock changed? Something is deff. up.

March was horrible for me too. In fact my sales went South as the GFC kicked in and afterwards never recovered to what they were pre GFC even though my portfolio was way smaller back then as I joined in April 2007.

I've noticed the strange fluctuations in day to day sales that others have noted. I have also noted that most sales are in the early morning (EST) and dry up in the afternoon, a distinct change from last year. Overall, sales per image just kepp going down, down, down. Does anyone have a viable explanation?

March was great thanks to a couple of ELs. Close to BME and better than March 2011.

Hi everyone, just an update regarding PP royalties: We're still running the payment scripts - you might notice that some of your end of March transactions appear before the mid-March transactions. I'll update when payments are complete. Thanks for your patience.

Even without full PP stats, royalties +50% over March 2011.


I just shoot, upload, repeat, and try not to worry about all the bs since I can't change anything anyway.


Best of luck to all of us going forward.

OK now that GI and PP are in I can say it was the best month ever. Enough to cover my mortgage payment and utility bills.

PP sales helped me big time.  My IS sales were slightly above normal but adding an extra $75 in PP made the month good.
