The sales price has fallen since February. Why?

Hello friends, I provide a picture with statistics of sales and earnings. Since February, the price for pictures has fallen, although the number of sales has grown. I have a suspicion that this could have happened because I received a gift in February, in the form of an annual subscription from Adobe Stock to the Photographer plan in CreativeCloud.

Perhaps they are now deducting from each sale for this "free" gift from them? or could there be some other reason besides a "streak of bad luck"? XD

No, your suspicion is wrong. You get 33% of royalties for any asset that gets sold, but the price per asset is dependent on the subscription the buyer has. And in addition, there are some special arrangements, where the price per asset is calculated not on a subscription, but on a custom agreement.

You've had dips in sales in previous months.  You will have dips in sales in future months.  That's the nature of sales.

The average price on your downloaded images is a function of the subscription level to which the Buyers have committed. If you're getting a lot of sales from the $30 10-asset-per-month subscription, your royalties will be close to $.99 on average. If your Buyers have higher volume subscriptions, your average price will be lower.

You always receive 33% of any sales. Some companies may subscribe to special packages that allow for lower cost purchases. It has nothing to do with you receiving the bonus.
