Sobering post. Is the $10 and annual or a monthly RPI?
An amazing month is probably around $10 per RM image. A bad month is $3.50 a month. So lets say the average is $5. per month. What you have to consider going forward is that these numbers have been trending down. So if you are going to spend $100 producing an image, it will take you 2 years to break even at TODAYS average. RF is not as rosy.
Hey Greg,
I back up your figures.
I’ve had between 3$ and 11$ monthly RPI on my 8 last RM statements.
I have about 2000 images in RM and 2000 images in RF, so I think that my figures are pretty accurate. My images span a variety of different topics and subjects so they should be a pretty good gage. I’m pleased that my numbers match yours.
