December 2018 was my third best month of all time on Shutterstock. A lot of video sales propelled me to having the best month of the year as well. Although the end of the month was a real disappointment with no sales for three days, I was happy with the month over all.
I hope 2019 is a lot better for photo and footage sales. Pond5 and Storyblocks were down in sales. Especially Storyblocks. I have not sold anything there in months and I've more than tripled my inventory there in 2018 by adding more footage and adding photos there. Pond5 was OK. Sold a few hundred dollars worth of footage. No photo sales, but that is to be expected.
April 2019 is coming up fast which is kind of scary considering I'll be moving permanently to Calgary. At least I hope. I need to find a job there first. I only have two weeks left on this contract but I'm being told I'll be extended again. I don't know for how long. We shall see. I'm hoping to get a permanent job in Calgary.
