Microstock earnings report - December 2009 + 2008 / 2009 comparison

4. January 2010, 07:09 Selling graphics

The year 2009 is over and it is time to put here some information about the earnings in December and also compare the whole year 2009 earnings with the previous year.

Although December is every year weaker month than November, I reached Best Month Ever on three agencies – Fotolia, Stockxpert and iStockphoto, so it was good month for me.

Graphs

As you can see on the graph Fotolia, Stockxpert and Dreamstime had very similar results. We will see next year which one will be better. Stockxpert and Fotolia sales are better and better mainly because of the vector formats, that I started to upload there (thank's again iSyndica!).

Extended licences

I had only one extended licence on Shutterstock.
