Example, only count images that have produced $10 (or $100)at a site. Then your sell through rate would go down, but you would have a more realistic idea of the probability that an image has will produce $10. You can combine your approval rate with your sell through rate to find the chance that a new stock image will produce money.

example:
approval rate = 25%
sell rate = 50%

chance of earning money from an image = 12.5%

My numbers are much lower than yours (13% overall, 72% SS, 40% IS, 11% DT, 6% FT, 3% BS, 1% 123rf). Hopefully because many of my images are new! Great post Lee!

I think that this metrics has more more sense for an established mature portfolio. Anyway, some numbers for my ~100 picture 3 month old growing portfolio: IS - 21.8% FT - 13.0% DT - 12.5% After reading the Ron’s article I started to calculate the sell-through rate for my stuff.

Anyway, some numbers for my ~100 picture 3 month old growing portfolio:

IS – 21.8%
FT – 13.0%
DT – 12.5%
