Monthly Statistics January

2010 started off quite well. The increase in prices at iStockphoto has not yet detered buyers from shopping. My downloads remain fairly constant and inline with 2008 and 2009.

Royaltees, however, have benefited from the increase in prices. January,2010, was very strong. Stronger than December, 2009, but slightly under October and November, 2009.

Here the charts for iStockphoto

My Getty Images royaltees for December arrived a week ago, so I couldn’t post the information earlier. With my December report I can now compare my Getty royaltees for 2009 and 2008 (please note that I got my first Getty report in March 2008).

You will notice that 2009 and 2008 were pretty much identical, even though I had double as many images in 2009.

How have iStockphoto’s price changes worked for you?

Do you have charts with your Getty royaltees? I haven’t found any Getty photographers who share their charts. Does anybody have some links?
