well I have read about how sales are going up and down and how you should grow your portfolio to make it more stable and that it is seasonal for some people.
We all probably know that and should acknowledge it, but I had a best month ever in April and this month is going to be the worst in last half year, I have not sold a photo for 6 days in a row now.
Although i know theory the lack of sales still keeps me up at night thinking what could i do to change it and have another BME again.
And photography is not even paying for my gear, I have a well paid day job, but there is some magic in micro-stock that makes every dollar count like a 100$
So to all of you out there who just had a worst month ever or have not sold a photo in a week or month remember to relax, think positive and keep shooting :)

I have 147 images on here since march really, and have had 8 sales-5 in may! no idea why so few sales.. but it is frustrating and not sure exclusivity is helping me. still going to try a year however....

Sales are like the stock market. They go up, they go down. It's what they're supposed to do. All we can do is stay positive and keep doing are best. Thanks for the encouraging article.

I think that, since in april the price of the images increased, it is not surprising that the number of sales is decreasing. We must look instead to the monthly income. In my case, it was very bad in April, but May was the best month in terms of revenue.

Nothing has happened regarding my regular sales since my last post, but I noticed a rapid increase of sales of free-images:(

For me it is still quite firm at terrifically 5/24/2012.

I just had 2 sales for total of 15 credits. So I hope this will turn things around again!

June started, hopefully it goes better ...

I must say my May was 2nd best month here ever as for as sales and revenue too. I also experienced one 4-5 day period without sales.

Today is day 6 with not a single sale. Not even a subscription. I hope this changes soon. I never had this before! I can understand 2-3 days but 6!? I think this might be an eye opener not to be exclusive anymore. Hope things change soon. :(

then we still don't know what's going on..
Zenonk
difference between level 0 and level 1 is only 2-3 credits depending on size, and all the subscription users do not see any difference I guess
Physi28
well, this seems a pretty suitable explanation for a decrease in sales, at least for me, that is if it really means that the buyers have to spend more cash now, having in mind the huge amount of competitors in microstock..
Zenonk
images start with level 1 and go up faster, and if they are not sold for 24 months they go to level 0
