I was getting worried there for a while. It was not until the last week of September that sales started to go to pre summer levels. I'm getting curious if microstock will see a boost from the economy. As consumers have less to spend. Advertisers will need to spend more to get their products off the shelf. With tight budgets, they need inexpensive images. Also, with high gas prices, hopefully that means more web sales and a need for web images. If things go our way, this will drive more advertisers to the microstock world.
Here is how the month of September went:
| August results: | Change from last month | |
| This month: | $93.75 | + $7.93 |
| Total Downloads: | 107 | + 11 |
| Lifetime Total: | $1222.64 | |
| Number of months contributing: | 18 | |
| Average: $/month | $76.62 | + $1.07 |
I started off with two extended license sales on Fotolia. I was a bit upset with myself over these images. They were ones with decent sales, but I had my extended license price set to only $10. I set a lot of my images low while I feel out there potential. Obviously, I need to pay more attention and adjust prices accordingly.
On a final note, I would like to welcome our new readers from:
- Brisbane, Australia
- Vicente Lopez, Argentina
- Manchester, United Kingdom
- Fort Wayne, Indiana (USA)

Hi Jason,
Great blog and thanks for sharing your results and perspectives. I am the CEO and Founder of Orange Line Media (we have a portfolio of a few thousand images at the major sites) and we have been working on some tools for earnings tracking that I would love to get some feedback on. Please drop me a line if you would be open to chatting briefly and perhaps trying it out.
Cheers,
Rahul
