Sales Drop Off 1st Week of 2024

Anyone noticing a substantial drop off in sales this first week of the new year. I always manage to sell something each week.

Perhaps AI is also going to be a stock image killer. Thoughts??

It's the end of a over a month's worth of holidays. People are still waking up from their holiday comas. What needed to be done before all the holiday breaks began has been done. Things will pick up again.

Thanks for the encouraging words!

From my perspective AI is not a "stock killer". I sell only photographs, and my sales were up >40% in 2023. The week before Christmas was quite low but bounced back last week, and this week is also on track with my normal weekly average. Dips and surges week by week are not uncommon.

You can't judge about what happens from a week in the year. Companies work with quarters for a reason. And they compare quarters against the same quarter the year before. 

Either you sell, or you don't. I do not check my account on a dayly basis. Why should I. Stock does not pay my rent.
