Your Istock results are not very significant, I was exclusive on Istock since 2005 and actually, my return per image is around 2.75$ (with a portfolio made of 98% 8MP pictures). There's a lot you can do to improve your sales; good keywording, effective lightboxes system, erasing the not selling pictures on your portfolio to improve its overall quality ratio (with buyers, reputation is king). </p> <p>Good luck to all, but remember; the results you get are proportionnal to the time you spend on your business.</p> When you become exclusive at Istock, the number of pictures sold jump by about 30%, plus there’s the exclusivity bonus..

Awesome! I certainly wish I had more time to dedicate to shooting so that I could take part in your challenges, oh well! With my new daughter (2nd), I'm lucky to have time to check sales! ;) <a href="http://jrtb.com/blog/" rel="nofollow">My numbers</a> are very similiar to yours and I had the same dip at Istock and Shutterstock. I'm really hoping May will be as good as we all predict! :) Great post and numbers as usual Lee! :) I *really* like your html formatted table. Awesome!

Good words to hear! Soooo close to your BME - but maybe that will inspire even more. :) Thanks for the comparison to last year's sales as well. For those of us who's records don't go back quite that far, that's very helpful! Portfolio growth, sales are up! Good words to hear!
