Shutterstock = 40%, up 8% from previous BME (May), 3 EL
iStock = 29%, down 13% from previous BME (March), 4 EL
Dreamstime = 12%, up 10% from previous BME (May)
StockXPert = 9%, down 21% from previous BME (April)
Fotolia = 4%, down 22% from previous BME (March)
BigStock = 3%, down 40% from previous BME (March)
123RF = 2%, down 27% from previous BME (May), 0 EL (1 EL in May)

Overall BME by 7%

CSP, LO, FP not tracked by percentage of sales.

SXP and FT were both up from May (41% and 50% respectively), although still not at their BME level.

EL's played significant roles in SS's and 123RF's increase and decrease, and prevented a more serious decrease at IS.

So far the overall upward trend continues, and in almost two years of tracking my stats I've only seen one overall loss...and it was by less than 1%.

LO is doing well enough for me now that in the next month or two I will be moving them up into my 1st tier sites.

Shutterstock : 40 % - up 9% (no EL sales)
Dreamstime : 27 % - down 4 % (no EL sales)
Canstock : 1 % - down 47 %
123 Royaltyfree : 8 % - up 2 % (no EL sales)
Bigstock : 12 % - down 46 % (no EL sales)
Istock : 5 % - down 2 %
Fotolia : 7 % - down 27 % (no EL sales)

Total income : down 10 % compared to may
New images uploaded : 92

Shutterstock keeps its first ranking, performing better each month, no surprise there.
The slight downfall in sales on Dreamstime and Istock can be contributed to the summer period, sales being slower.
Fotolia and Bigstock, major drop in sales. As for fotolia the upgrade to their new V2 version caused the most damage. Bigstock had some server problem which could have contributed to the major drop.
Canstock, can't seem to figure out what happened there.
123 actually still not up to the sales i had with them past year, slowly, very slowly climbing. IMO those free images hurt potential sales a lot. While they were slowly climbing the beginning of the year when they introduced their free image section a few months ago sales dropped by 40 %, and only slowly recovering.

Conclusion : I expected a slow down due to the summer period, however the bigstock and fotolia problems are the cause of the 10 % decrease compared to may. A quick adjustment showed that if they would have performed the same as the month may the overal performance would have been around zero, making june even to may. Which i would have expected considering i upload approx 100 new images per month.

Hm... for me the summer may end now...lol.

Patrick.

Here are my results from June:

1 - SS - UP 26% - BME (47% of total)
2 - SXP - UP 5% (16% of total)
3 - DT - DOWN 1% (12% of total)
4 - IS - DOWN 27% (11% of total)
5 - 123RF - DOWN 4% (7% of total)
6 - FT - DOWN 37% (3% of total)
7 - BSP - DOWN 48% (2% of total)
8 - LO - DOWN 90% (1% of total)

Overall, a 3% increase in Sales but 10% decrease in revenue. Mostly due to having less ELs in June than in May.

SS keeps strong. I was expecting a decrease as I had last year, because of the summer vacations. Suprisingly, I had my BME ever on SS by a comfortable margin.

SXP keeps strong and is now firm on #2.

DT is really steady, even though it's down (less than 1%) in revenue, it equaled the BME in sales.

IS... sigh... keeps going down...

123RF still worthy. 2nd BME in June.

FT and BSP had big drops... I'm considering leaving BSP... FT V2 had a major role on June's results.

LO... just for reference.

I hope July to be on par with June (even a little slower). In August, sales should pick up and grow steadily until Dec.

Have a great July everyone!

Hello everybody,

I'm new to the board, and have found all of your comments very helpful, so i thought i would begin contributing where i could. I am fairly new to the Stock thing as well.
I only have 25-200 images online at any of the following agencies (some i have more recently joined, such as iStock, and have yet to build a reasonable portfolio).

New images in June: 125

Percentage of sales (in dollars):

SS: 48%
FT: 19%
IS: 10%
DT: 10%
BS: 6%
123: 5%

I have been pleased with SS, and a couple others seems to be picking up, such as DT and FT. Hopefully i can get a larger collection on IS, as well as grow everywhere this month.
