A rather late update on my stats for April. Blame that on Veer as I have been busy "dashing for cash" (no results on that one yet but 121 pending).
Meanwhile over at Shutterstock (where my portfolio passed the 800 mark) I totalled 53 downloads in April ($14.88). The hoped for General Election boom for my archive political images didn't happen there (or anywhere for that matter). Certainly there were some sales but probaly no more than average. A Conservative party election poster on SS and a polling station sign at Dreamstime being the only specific election related sales. Staying on Dreamstime, April brought 15 sales (netting a healthy $12.04). Istockphoto produced no regular sales but 7 partner program downloads at 25cents each ($1.75). British agency PictureNation produced another 3 web resolution sales at £0.40 each (£1.20). Bringing up the rear in April, Bigstock had one editorial sale at 50cents.
No action last month for Veer, Yaymicro, or Mostphotos. Nothing at 123RF as none of my editorial images were live in April. As for BritishImages -who knows. They do not have a views/download counter and I am still unable to change my contact details for payment on the site.
April also saw a return to my editorial archives as I finally got round to scanning and uploading more of my B/W negatives. Highlights included Ted Heath, former British Prime Minister, and a new (old) one of Gordon Brown (now, of course, also a former Prime Minister). Regards, David.

I got for now 170 pending on Veer :) lets see how it goes.. got there 1090 photos
Good luck with those Luis. I just hope they accept more than the last time I uploaded to them. That is what put me off uploading again until now. Regards, David.
Surprising the election didn't give you more sales all round. The fickle world of microstock.. never can tell which way it's going to go.
You'll have to get some shots of the new bunch running the country. When they eventually screw things up like the last lot then pictures will be needed?! ;-)
Yes, David, I would have expected a few more. That said, politics is very much to the forefront now so I should see more sales going forward. BTW this is the first time in many years that I don't have a photograph of the current Prime Minister. Will have to work on that. Regards, David.
