Yay, I get to start one of these threads! This is officially the earliest I've ever hit payout for the month. Nothing like a few ELs early to help that out.

If it keeps up like this (which I'm not really counting on) I'll blow my previous best month away by a rather huge margin (For the sake of counting your eggs before they hatch).


Hope the month is going as well for everyone else.

Congrats!

The EL fairy has yet to land in my parts. Maybe she just doesn't know where to find my portfolio.

She seems to like you so maybe if I post a link to my port here she will find it:

I'll be anxiously awaiting her arrival:)

Actually I am having my BME once again and I think I will make payout again this month even without any EL's but it sure would be nice to have some extra $$ in there.

There is an old thread somewhere where we were speaking about how many downloads you take between each EL... The average was 400-500 or so if I can remember... Barry must have the link to that thread...

It worked for me the same, I am between 1500 -1600 dls, and I had 3 ELs so far.

I'm averaging 372 dls per EL. I guess I should be happy (actually I should be growing my port more rather than just sitting around being happy).

I now have 3 EL's for the month! I was super excited to wake up to 2 new EL's!!! I was really excited for the first one but having 2 in one day is really exciting. I was hoping to beat my total every month for the next year but it's going to be hard to beat this for May. Laurin is helping me to get started in footage so maybe if I can get some footage uploaded and sold that will help.

But so far April is going to me my BME by a long shot.
