I was getting between 10-20 downloads a day for about a month and never going under 5 a day and now i have only recieved 1 download a day for 3 of the last 4 days.

Anybody know if this is normal?

everything is normal until you see negative numbers in your stats

Yes, and that means the customers are selling vectors to you and you must pay for it :D

Sale go up and down for all of us, just keep uploading as a larger potfolio tends to help things even out overall.

Sometimes all the buyers take their vacations at the same time. That's all.

I agree, this month is less profitable.

This has been a GREAT month for me on Shutterstock. Not so good on other sites.

Not only do sales rise and fall, they behave differently on different sites. And, different kinds of image will rise and fall.

What's been selling for me here this month is vectors with a "logo" look. Like this one.



That doesn't mean they'll be hot sellers next month, though.
