If you haven't checked it out yet - this past weekend we released an important contributor feature that many of you have been requesting: a royalties and sales statistics page.
Log-in and head to your Dashboard to see how your Marketplace collection is performing.
We've included a few different ways to track your performance:
The top half of the screen shows a year-to-date summary.
The pie chart on the right shows what portion of your sales were made in the US (this is important info for those who are subject to withholding taxes on US earnings).
The bottom half of the page shows sales over a specific time frame - you can customize the date range in weeks (up to 2 years) and view the data in either chart form or as a table.
By clicking the "view as table" link you can get an expanded detail of each sale including:
- sale date
- sales type: whether the image was licensed with standard credits or with a subscription
- license type: indicates if the sale was a standard license or an extended license option
- description: shows either the resolution purchased, or the type of extended license
- a checkmark to indicate if the sale was from a US buyer (and possibly subject to applicable withholding taxes)
- gross royalty earned (before any applicable withholding taxes)
** Extra super secret squirrel hint for the Excel wizards out there: click the "download as .CSV" link at the bottom of the table if you prefer to extract the data.
Finally - at the bottom of the page is a list of your top performing files in the specified time frame.
