So far my sales on Getty haven't dropped off noticeably during the pandemic. I do have a friend with a similar portfolio with the exception of patterns and graphics. Their sales have had a slump. What seems to be keeping mine going is the graphics, which make up about 50% of my sales.
Here are the images that sold and the months.
February
March
April
May
Averaging about 80-90 sales a month. The Getty Contributor app does provide statistics about how many "views" my images have had over the month. So far there hasn't been a huge correlation between the number of views and sales, however the views for June were a bit lower than usual. I'll have to wait and see if this translate to a drop in sales.
As usual I'm not mentioning the amount of money made from these sales as it doesn't matter. What I make won't reflect what anyone else does or could make selling images on Getty. One thing I will mention because it surprises me, is that a VERY basic pattern I made has brought in over $500 USD in the past year. If all my images did that I'd be very happy indeed 馃槀
