Feed: Selling Graphics - AggScore: 73.8

Exactly as I predicted, October was again Best Month Ever (BME) for me in microstock! The earnings were so good, that I'm not sure if the next month will be better again (November was the best month every year – look at the history graphs in my report). I had the BME on Shutterstock, Dreamstime, Stockxpert, Fotolia and 123RF!

Few months ago I wrote an article about preparing vector illustration for sale in microstock and there I wrote, that 16 Megapixels should be the ideal size for the JPG preview. But now I made a small research and found, that 16 Megapixels is not enough!

September was the Best Month Ever (BME) for me in microstock. And I'm awaiting that another BME will be in October and also in November, because in those months are the microstock earnings the highest for every year (you can check it on my last graph in the article). I had also the BME on Shutterstock and Dreamstime.

August was quite a weak month – my sales drops to the March level. And it looks like August was weak month also in previous two years (in 2008 it was because my account on Shutterstock was disabled for several days). The sales went down on all my accounts, except Fotolia.

In July, there was not any surprise in the overall earnings for me – July 2009 was just a little bit worse than June – it is very similar as in the previous years in microstock – check the last graph in the report, where you can compare the earnings since 2007. Only on iStockphoto I had the BME (without any extended licence) – last image was added to my iStock portfolio in May!
