As of today, I only have 9 DL's for the month of May - for a whooping $3.52! ^^ My camera's broken and I stopped uploading contents for a couple of weeks now - my port is now stuck at 365 images. 😒 Not sure if its worth it to buy new camera nowadays considering this sales trend.

@Jane McIlroyThanks Jane 🙏 Same to you.

UPDATE. I just received my very first payout 😇 That was quick!

@Awana JF I actually didn't know that SS will reset your earnings prior to the actual payout date (or shall I say I just didn't do my homework reading SS's FAQ🙂) Anyways, just received their email saying they would transfer my earnings by 15-May. Thank you again.

@Firn Awesome! Thanks for the clarification.

Sorry to hijack this post. @Awana JFHow many days will SS transfer that amount to our account (in my case PayPal)? My earnings was reset to zero yesterday but I still haven't received that amount in my PayPal as of writing. 🤔

I just reached the min payout amount today after I got an OD ($1.35). This is my very first payout since joining SS! 😇

If stills only, $1 is actually not bad. But if still + vid, yeah I agree that's awful. Btw, how big is your port @Former_Poster if you don't me asking?

Oh yeah yeah I forgot got only a fraction port compare to yours and everyone else 😁 Your RPD's quite impressive! Good for you Wilm. With an excellent quality port like yours, its only befitting to get that high RPD. For April, my RPD's only $0.10. Worst month so far. But my iStock is slowly getting traction with an RPD of $1.5 this month.

@Wilm, your 1 day DL is actually higher than my whole April DL's! 🙂 I was excited to get my first payout as I'm only $1.5 shy away from min. payout amount but might take couple of weeks or months to reach that payout amount.😂

(sorry for my bad English🙂) I was aiming to increase to at least a thousand images in my port this year my unfortunately my camera's totally broken after accidentally dropping it. I sold it as scrap. I'm not confuse if I should buy a new camera or not - very small and slow returns 🤔🤔 My January and March 2021 sales are actually my best performance so far. But sad to say, each bar in the graph only represent single digit amount. 😂

Better than nothing 😁😂 Lifetime DL's at 99 today! One more DL before hitting an important milestone of my SS journey.. I'll drink beer later (worth 200 DL's 😂)

Hello Oleschwander, thanks for the comment. The reason behind the close up shots is I worry about my image being rejected (copyright). Example, the condenser coils if fully shown I might get copyright issue. Anyways, maybe I could try on some other subjects where copyright isn't a problem. I'll try wider shots next time and see if it would sell better than to the close-up ones.
