Once again Shutterstock takes the first place with plenty of OD sales. Not too far behind is Fotolia with a new BME and third  Dreamstime only few dollars away from a BME thanks to a special 100% royalty day. Although earnings for the  big4 photo are growing, Istock is 300% down compared to last year.

No sales this month which is a  first for this year.

•     Audio

Audio sales represent a  bit more  than 3% of total earnings with  most sales coming from Pond5.

As a traveler, it is always a new experience to take public transportation. Subways especially are often a good playground to take candid shots, compose graphic pictures or play with motion blur.  Tripod are generally not allowed but small ones like the gorillapod go often unnoticed. Fell free to post your metro/subway pictures on the comment section.

Shutterstock is leading again this month with a new BME (helped by 2 EL) followed by Fotolia with a BME also. Istock is third this month performing a bit better than usual. Dreamstime is not to far off a BME as well.

• Video

Two sales this month including one at Pond5 with a $50 commission and one at Istock with $5 commission, no need to comment on this one:) No sales at Revostock and Clipcanvas. Since Isyndica is not around anymore and because of my slow connection speed, I upload my clips to Pond5 only.

• Audio

With a bit more than 3% of total earnings, audio had another BME this month with sales at Pond5 and Revostock.
