October 2010 Sales Report

Dave Navarro — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 15:43:09 +0000

October was a very welcome month with mostly higher sales across the board. Pond5 led with a new “Best Month Ever” in both number of clips sold and sales dollars. The only real bummer was the whole iSyndica thing… especially when it came time to gather the data for this months report. Ugh!

September 2010 Sales Report

Dave Navarro — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 19:07:23 +0000

With the loss of iSyndica, doing these monthly sales reports is gonna be a major pain-in-the-ass. But I vow to keep on keeping on.

Also, a little bit of great news… For the month of September this site averaged 244 unique visitors a day dropping as low as 82 but with well over 1000 [...]

August 2010 Sales Report

Dave Navarro — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 09:46:24 +0000

The first half of August was a continuation of the summer slump with more sales woes. Things did start to pick up some mid-month and the final week was a very good week bringing August sales up to respectable levels.

June 2010 Sales Report

Dave Navarro — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 13:12:51 +0000

I HATE THE SUMMER SLUMP! My clip sales are way down overall, even on Pond5, and my revenue per clip is also down. RevoStock is actually up a little bit. I didn’t submit nearly as many clips in June as I should have, but I did manage to produce a lot more. It’s just [...]

Mid June Update

Dave Navarro — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 11:18:53 +0000

Well, a little after mid-June, but better late than never…

The “summer slump” has officially arrived and sales are down all over the place. I’ve had zero sales at ClipCanvas and MediaStock this month. ShutterStock sales are down 80% from last month. And Pond5 sales are down nearly 30% from last month. The only [...]

May 2010 Sales Report

Dave Navarro — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 09:12:28 +0000

May was a surprising month with sales doing very well for the first 10 or 12 days, then slowing down considerably and finally making a steady charge the last week for an overall up month. I didn’t get as much uploaded as I would have liked, but I finally did break the 1000 clips [...]

April 2010 Sales Report

Dave Navarro — Mon, 03 May 2010 17:11:20 +0000

(WordPress is having issues with the post title, not sure why… but this is the April 2010 report, not March.)

April is a mixed month with overall sales down about 9%, but a new Best Month Ever (BME) at both Pond5 and ShutterStock. ShutterStock was the surprise for me with 7 sales (8 actually, [...]
