Immediately after I published my previous post on April’s earnings. I went to check my email and found that I had a sale on Fotolia. It could be a good month! It was a XS but a sale none the less.

April was a really busy month but I still got to do some shooting and uploading. Even got a couple more added to most of the sites. I got a good jump in my average portfolio size, but I’d really like to do something like Lee Torrens’ Shoot Daily and Contribute Nightly or Matt Antonino’s April 450 – monthly microstock goal . Both of which are very ambitious but not really an attainable goal for me right now.
Had an interesting experience with my best sale from last month. It was just a simple shot of some gravel I took while watching one of my boys baseball practice. That is what I’m working at getting better at, having the camera with me and seeing the opportunity to take a shot that is a good microstock shot. The shot is the picture to the right. Makes me think if you can get it past the review process, it may well sell on Microstock, within reason.
My average portfolio size is currently 52 up from 43 images. It looks like that will take a hit along with my total balance when Lucky Oliver goes away in May. I did sign up for 123RF last month but need to submit my first batch of images there too, probably use the same batch I use for ShutterStock.
I should point out that these numbers are my career TOTALS not just the totals for April. When I get some more consistent downloads and earnings I switch to monthly numbers.

Hopefully I don’t see this number go backward with the loss of LO |
Here’s a couple other blogs I follow, hopefully someday my earnings will rival some of theirs:
