Microstock August 2008 Update

  This month wasn’t an improvement from last month.  From everything I’ve heard though August is usually pretty bad.  So all things considered I think I did pretty good, especially since I didn’t really put a whole lot into uploads and/or growing the portfolio.  I was glad to see the big jump from IStockPhoto.  I guess some sites might start doing a little better over time.
