This was definitely a strange beginning to the year. My overall total was decent, but how I got there was a little different. Most of my normal high earners were down, but all my up-and-coming agencies had record months. Congrats to Canstock for kicking down the door and saying I’m here.

Here’s the breakdown:

I made the decision to delete my portfolio at Fotolia. After 3 years in a row of lowering royalty rates, it just didn’t seem to be a place I wanted to be partnered with anymore. I’m not too pleased with the recent trend of agencies cutting into the royalty rates of contributors. Hopefully, they will figure out that it isn’t in their best interest to shaft their suppliers. Anyway… feel free to post a link to your results in the comments.
