Please inform what does position mean. It states a number in the thousands I see it on my dashboard.

Thanks

    it's your ranking based on the sales.

    I use my weekly position as an indicator that tells me if my portfolio is getting better. When I see low sale within a week, I start questioning myself: is it just for me, or this week is not good for everyone else too? so I check the rank and it didn't get worse, that meens just a bad week 🙂

      Yes. That's logical Sashk. I do the same. What's not clear to me us if the position is based on number of downloads (even is small $ amount), or total value of downloads. Or some combination of the two. But you are right. Some indication of your overall trend. For me my lifetime position gets better by about 300-400 points week over week. Could be due to the fact that I upload about 30 new pics a week. You have a good day now. Cheers.

      Check the top sellers. It's based on the number of sales, not on the value of sales.

        The overall number of Stock contributors is meaningless. It has no direct impact on your success/failure.

        Your success is what YOU derive from it. 

        • Personal gratification + Second-income.

        Nothing else matters.

        Agreed. I enjoy getting beautiful / saleable images off of my hard drive and out into the world. And the steady trickle of passive income is a nice bonus.

          The position number tells us very little in my opinion, because it only tells us how many contributors make more money than we do. But it doesn't provide an overall context because we don't know the total number of contributors. It would be very helpful if we were either given our percentile rating, or given both the number of contributors doing better then us, and the number of contributors doing worse than us.

            We are not here in a competition, so as long a we can't buy something for it, it is very uninteresting for me. Only if I would be in the top ten, it would tell me how much money I could theoretically do... As I'm far away from that, I'm not interested in seeing that number.
