It is time for March statistics !! The total earnings are up 7%, and I still expect some partners sales which might mean another 2-3% growth. Here is how each of the site performed:
Fotolia – growth 14%. Fotolia is getting stronger from month to month (the same comment I had in Feb). BME both by earnings and downloads. Well Done !
123rf – growth 14%. Two months in a row with BME for both earnings and downloads. Almost double of Dreamstime.
Shutterstock – growth 7%. Steady month despite missing one upload week.
Dreamstime – decline 22%. Dreamstime was the only microstock to drop in sales. This is not a good sign.
Istockphoto – growth 1%. Even before partner sales, Istock already posted a growth, once those are added it is likely to be a BME.
Bigstockphoto – growth 28%. But it is peanuts, as usual.
Late in 2009, I started contributing to a few more microstocks but the sales there are too small to deserve a mention in the report.
And also a chart with all-time earnings dynamics:
