Another slow month for iStockphoto

The holidays will soon be here. This usually means increased sales in the microstock arena. Well, it is the case for all but iStockphoto.

November has been another slow month for the sale of my photos and illustrations at iStockphoto. My number two site, Shutterstock, which has always been about half of what my iStockphoto sales are, is now leading the pack in my group of 16 stock sites that I contribute to.

So what's going on? I have no idea though they have done some site remodeling in terms of search and delivery to the customer, and my upload quantities have not been as high as in previous months, but that hasn't hurt sales at other agencies.

So, in order to turn this around it looks like I might have to start uploading more. We'll then see if that makes a difference.
