Top 5 best selling stock images
Posted on: January 29, 2011
Here is my all-time top-5 run-down… (I’ve had a massive stock break, not uploaded anything in about 2 years! *which also means I’ve been brewing for 2 years!)
This shows which my consistent sellers are at the main stock sites. (Grunge ahoy!)
iStockphoto
In at number one is ‘Black Photocopy background Texture’ selling 164 times, 5093 and earning $268.68
At number two is ‘Coffee Cup coaster ring stains’ selling 119 times, 4092 views and earning $119.06
At number three is ‘CT Scan Skull Slices’ selling 116 times, 25345 views and earning $59.52

At number five is ‘Paper Airplane’ selling 97 times, 5494 views, and earning $177.12
Dreamstime
In at number one is ‘Canvas texture Element’ selling 49 times, 1900 vies and earning $60.32
At number two is ‘Cup Stains Set’ selling 48 times, 2138 views and earning $58.92
At number three is ‘Photocopy Texture Element’ selling 39 times, 2150 views and earning $80.29
At number four is ‘Paper Airplane’ selling 35 times, 54239 views and earning $59.89
At number five is ‘Cup Stains set’ selling 33 times, 1342 views and earning $41.13
I’d do Shutterstock & Fotolia too but they don’t give image specific stats, I could do Fotolia sales and views but it doesn’t show the image earnings.
You can sort by ‘downloads’ at my Fotolia Portfolio to see the current sales & view stats and see the most popular downloads from my Shutterstock Portfolio.
I like the way this site works, its pretty sensible and works logically, the upload procedure works well and editing image details is simple.
This is how the profile page looks, Its pretty concise and usable:
The Image portfolio page is just as easy with albums for organisation that work by drag and drop, and looks like this:
I have just completed uploading my portfolio of 1324 images, all accepted due to there being no inspection procedure to go through (the closest acceptance to that was 979 images at CanStockPhoto).
Earnings and referrals
Royalty-free images: earn 50% of the total price, which is €12.50 per sale.
“We offer you 1 Euro for every sold image by a referred photographer and an additional 1 Euro
for every image bought by a referred customer. This means you can earn up to 2 Euro every time a transaction is made between your referred friends”
All there is to do now is organise a few albums and site back and wait…. we shall see!

I believe it was creative Review I was flicking through at work today when I came across an advert for iStock, all you have to do is play their little game (sign up first if you already haven’t) and you have the chance, with a little bit of visual skill to grab yourself upto 5 iStock credits 🙂
Blooming tricky little game, I managed to get all but one, have a go it has to be better than moving shapes around in InDesign! 😀 I got myself a nice free 4 credits 🙂
Oh, and a Stock Claim to fame lol

Probably Due To Network Congestion
