Microstock Earnings January 2009
January has been an interesting month. It started out with better downloads and a renewed commitment from me to keep more pictures uploaded consistently. I did pretty good for about a week! Actually I’m still trying to get into a routine of regularly shooting and uploading. My goal is to ten a week, but I’ve really only done that one week in January.
We just got back from a long weekend where I was doing a bunch of shooting. The down side is that it was at the beach and those shots are tough to get approved and selling. I doubt I came up with anything real original.
I did add another agency this past month, BigStockphoto, and I’ve actually had a couple downloads already.
