June 2010 earnings

 Highlights

Earnings for this month  of June were very uneven among medias. Photos had a BME and both videos and audio sales were very poor taking as photos alone took 99.2% of total earnings. For microstock photos alone, earnings increased 33%  compare to June 2009. To put things into perspective, porfolio size  increased by 35 % at Shutterstock, 24% at Istock, 28% at Fotolia during the same period.

Reporting per media

It was a new BME overall although only one  BME was to report at Zoonar due to the uploading bonus. Overall,  Shutterstock finished first (with a record of 20 on demand sales) followed by Zoonar, Istock (1EL) and Fotolia (1EL).

After a slow April, earnings increased sharply for all medias: videos and audio had  their BME. Overall , earnings were  not higher than March 2010 (DepositPhoto upload bonus skewed the results). Photo is still the largest media in term of earnings (84 %), followed by video (13%) and audio (3%).

3 BME  this month for  Shutterstock, Veer and Yaymicro. Sadly, Istock is still underperforming, very far from its best month in May 2009 ($172.29). No downloads to report at Graphic leftovers, 3DStudio, Cutcaster and Mostphotos and only 1 sub sale at DepositPhoto.
