Default Nov was good, will we get winter blues in Dec?

November was a good month, BME in earnings with IS and 123RF, BME of DLs with DT.

Question for those of you who have been around since last December, will December be a month of "winter blues"??

I never really had a horrible December. Still a very big marketing month, for retail and many other businesses. November was very good for me as well.

Wait until you see January - March All very good months, usually. I've only been in this stock game for 2 years now.

This has been my best start to a month in my year at microstock. Yes, my quality is now heaps better than a year ago but still. October was BMEs on all sites except LO and FT, and November gave me another BME at iStock. Four days into December FT is actually in the lead (mainly because of 10 sales, one of them an EL, yesterday). Great start at SS, IS and DT too. Too bad there's this holiday coming up...

IS becomes #1 again.

But sales are not as good as November and October in all sites. Perhaps because I have few Christmas related photos.

Now is still great but from Christmas Day to New Year's Day uses to be the worst week of the year.

Oct. was a great month. Nov. dropped few hundred dollars. I don't have any holiday photos. Just curious the people that are saying Nov. was the best month ever do you have Holiday photos?

November was a BME but only by $1. I have very few holiday photos. December has started well.

I don't have any people photos and your portfolio is all people, so perhaps they sell less this time of the year.

I wouldn't mind swapping my sales for yours though You have sold nearly 4x more than me.
