| 1977 traffic jam - card sales on Redbubble |
Shutterstock was back in first place with one good $$ Single sale of La Toya Jackson and a good number of On Demand sales. July saw me climb back to Level 4 which will help with non subscription sales for the rest of the year. I'm also noticing an increasing number of higher paying sub sales ranging from $0.56 right up to the best at $1.23 in one case. To be clear, these are not replacing On Demand sales which are still coming through.
Second place went to Istock with 55 downloads including several paying around $4 in commission so a good month for them.
Alamy took third place with 2 downloads. A low value shot of a Lidl supermarket and a good $$ sale of a

Fourth place went to Redbubble with 4 product sales. By coincidence two of these were greetings cards of a 1977 traffic jam near Brighton. I was surprised that one buyer in the USA and another in the UK should both choose that very old image within days of each other.
Adobe were back in fifth place with 7 downloads including an Illustrative Editorial image of an ESSO petrol station. In a significant move Adobe announced they were dropping their (proper) editorial section. This was a feed from various news organisations such as Reuters and USA Today. Any hope from regular contributors that the editorial section might be opened up to them as well is now gone. Still no idea why editorial is such an issue for them when just about every other agency takes them.

Finally in sixth place we had Dreamstime with 8 downloads.
Nothing much new to report on the shooting front. I need to start going through my Ithaca island images and also revisit my Lisbon shots.
I shall endeavour to get my August report out in a more timely manner! Regards, David.
