This is interesting and extremely useful…when Lookstat have all the sites figures available they’ll have many artists on board.

Awesome Rahul! this is the most useful thing in microstock analytics that one can have. As the others have said I would love to see more sites though as istock has hardly 10% of my portfolio and on DT I already have that info
Fotolia and Shutterstock would be perfect.

Hi Josh,

Thanks for using the site and the collections feature. I don’t have a precise date for you but I can say that you’ll see improvements before the end of the month.

Hi Miklav,

We do intend to expand support but at the moment we are focused on depth of analytics before adding breadth.

sorry, missed that item in the introduction

It’s great that collections tool is now added, but it’s extremely disappointing that only 2 sites are supported, without at least Shutterstock and Fotolia…

Did I miss something? I mean how did you manage to get your Shutterstock numbers in Lookstat and why I can’t get it working?

Thanks Lee, handy information and its definitely addictive to track sales. Conclusion 3 is highly relevant to those of us looking around at what to shoot. Its often best to combine what assets you have in terms of locations and friends/contacts with research in what will sell.

@Rahul, when are you going to drop the new features into Lookstat? Collections made the site 500x more useful btw.. thanks!

Great info Lee (as usual)…I totally agree on the “limited access” location shoot.

Saluto,
