The month of March was my best month ever at Shutterstock for earnings with $443.98 and I had 608 downloads. Fotolia ,and Deposit Photo did well, but not so good for 123 RF, and Dreamstime which came last. No signs of life for Can Stock Photo, Pocketstock, Bigstock, Cutcaster or Graphic Leftovers.
I decided to cancel my account at Pockestock, Can Stock ,and Graphic Leftovers. No reason to waste time uploading images to those sites, at least for me.
April seemed to be very promising in the first two weeks at Shutterstock, but the last week of the month was slow. It was my best month ever for the number of downloads with 668, but not for earnings with a total of $391.38. As usual, Fotolia came in second place, then Deposit Photo, and the other sites. I signed up for Pond 5, and uploaded some videos and images, but no sales yet. I heard that Pond 5 is the best place to sell footage. Looking forward to get some sales over there, and I like the idea that we can set our own prices. I have not had any sales at Fine Art America for a long time, and I only had one of $18 on the first week that I signed up. Not planning to be a paid member at this point.
Soon I will reaching 7,000 downloads at Shutterstock. I'm working on increasing the amount of images in my portfolio, and I hope to reach 5,000 in the next few months.
