It is time for April statistics !! The total earnings are up 1%, and I still expect some partners sales which might mean another 2-3% growth.
Here is how each of the site performed:
Fotolia – flat with March. Downloads are down, but more extended sales helped to stay flat with March.
123rf – decline 15%. Still strong downloads, however down in extended sales which led to decline in dollar terms.
Shutterstock – growth 8%, which helped to offset decline on other stocks. Great month for extended sales – 1 for every 315 ordinary downloads.
Dreamstime – growth 35%. Dreamstime rebounded from awful March, however, there is no feeling of sustainable recovery.
Istockphoto – decline 32%. Unexpectadly poor month from Istock, but this kind of inconsistency is typical for Istock, so I would expect a reversal of fortunes in May.
Bigstockphoto – growth 10%. 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:
