when we lose our OD-income and lose halve of our portfolio's due to legal reasons, it will be bad months for everybody


Better to lose them today than get sued tomorrow.

Is this normal? Do slaes really slow down for everyone this time of year?

That would explaine why my sales are down. But hopefully they will improve with upload of more images

I Hope

There are always bad months coming, depending on who you talk to. It's fall, it's the summer slowdown, it's winter holidays, it's the 2nd Wednesday after a full moon in a month that has at least 7 letters in it's name, whatever. It's all garbage. A good portfolio performs year-round.

what about bad years maybe I should look at the decade as a whole. 2007 awesome, 2008 ok, 2009 good. yea its seems I'll have to get 7 more years of data :) jk overall you are correct:)

Ha!

I am getting more OD sales than usual...
So, I can't to confirm your pattern...

On BSP I haven't any sales for a days...

Last EL I had three months ago, and November is usual good month, better than September...

December is bottom, but only December....

I had a little giggle and thought of you Mike as I took this shot at a RSPCA rescue Dog fun Day :)


Okay well lets have a Cocker for a Change to make you smile, well she works for me, and OD's still rolling in here BTW and have already expressed my views on another thread hoping that they will not be sacrificed here for the sake of BSP Grrrrrr they really topped up the income when the going got tuff

Here is 'Lady' from a Puppy to her very first Car ;)

Personaly,September was my best month since joining SS in march.

November seems on a good start, in general I still sell christmas related images (to my suprise!) and food shots has made a comeback.

Good luck to all and keep up the good work,


Salut
