    1. "istockphoto is dying" - for me as a non exclusive. I think you could read between the lines, of one of the latest contributor newsletters, there is going to be a shift in the best match search engine, that is going to promote exclusive footage even more. This I think is happening right now.

      Your income growth is amazing! Footage only? What was your portfolio size at the beginning of the graph, what is its size today? Did your Royalty Per Image (Footage) grow as well?

      I uploaded very few or no files in the latest months, it means my RPI is growing.

  2. If no emotion, then:
    - Portfolio increased by 8 times;
    - For the last 4 months I have uploaded 10 footage (6 of them in March);
    - The average purchase price in the beginning was $26;
    - The average cost of one purchase for me in the last 6 months - $40 (with the royalty rate 25%), largely due to Vetta and the Getty;
    - The number of purchases HD1080 about a third of the total (the highest number of sales HD720).
