DeepMeta - New Upload Stats section
View statistics grouped by upload date
When analyzing your sales, it can be useful to get a better insight in how productive certain periods of uploading have been. Do your very early uploads still sell? If not, when did they stop selling? How long does it take for uploads to start selling?
This is where the new Upload Stats page comes in. It shows you the usual Royalty / Downloads / Return-per-download statistics, grouped by the month or year the assets were uploaded.
Overview
From the main menu: select Upload Stats to open the page:
TheInfo button at the right provides a convenient link to this Blog post, for reference.
The Upload Stats page currently has 2 sections:
- Sales Chart by upload date: This chart was originally at the bottom of the Sales Stats page and was moved here so that all Upload Stats are on the same page.
- Sales Table by upload date: a brand-new table: a grid of Upload dates (rows) and Sales dates (columns), with many configuration options. All explained below.
Sales Chart by upload date
This is a chart of sales, grouped by month or year of upload (horizontal axis):
Selectors:
- $, RPD / DL: Choose between display of 'Royalty' bars + 'RPD' line (Royalty Per Download) or 'Number of Downloads' bars
- Months / Years: Group sales by 'Upload Month' or 'Upload Year'.
Sales Table by upload date
This is a table of sales, with rows for upload periods and columns for the sales:
On desktop: hover the mouse pointer over the table headers to see their meaning:
You can select the date grouping for both axes of the table:
Upload period: Used for the table rows
Sales period: Used for the table columns
Some advice
Though you're free to select any combination of these 2 group selectors, please note that the table can get very large for Month grouping if you have many years of uploads. The Month grouping is mostly intended for contributors who only have a few months or years of uploading behind them. The default grouping of Year usually gives the best overview.
Let's have a look at the first upload year of the example below, 2005:
- The contributor uploaded 230 assets in 2005, of which only 93 sold at least once up to now. This results in a Sell Through Ratio (STR) of 40%
- Royalty Statements go back to 2017 only, so this is the first year of reported sales. In this year the assets made most royalty of all reported sales years: $354.22. Sales went downhill from there, but still, even in 2024 they made $111.94. This is for assets uploaded 19 years ago: clearly a pretty good investment.
- A green background means the value is larger than the preceding period, orange means it's lower
The view can be switched from its default $ (Royalties), to DL (Downloads) or RPD (Royalty Per Download):
A novel feature offered by DeepMeta is to switch the view from seeing the values ($, DL, RPD) to seeing image thumbnails for the most sold asset in that period
When selecting the 'thumbnail' view, we get following table:
It provides a quick overview of which image contributed the most to the $/DL/RPD of given period, uploaded in that year or month. The choice of the thumbnail respects the current $/DL/RPD selector state. This means you'll get different thumbnails depending on this selector.
Finally, as with most of DeepMeta's statistics, you can choose which Asset types are taken into account, using the Type selector
Don't be afraid to experiment with the settings. In below example we've selected to view stats for Video & Illustrations only, we selected DL values, and the Thumbnail view:
We hovered the mouse over the 2019 thumbnail to view its statistics.
The stats show that the contributor's videos & illustrations, uploaded in 2010, started selling from 2017 and had their last sale in 2022.
