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.
I’m glad to see I kept my average the same while adding a new site.

December was really busy with Christmas and everything so not much happened. I hope people don’t find my numbers discouraging, especially since I don’t. I’ve not really been putting much time into this endeavor. I’m doing it more to learning something new and get better at photography.

Well it looks like around $10/month seems to be right about where I’m stuck on my microstock earnings. Last month I was disappointed with my earnings but this month I’m figuring that unless I step up my dedication and picture taking that’s about where I’m at. In November I got a total of 3 pictures added to Shutterstock and that’s all the new content I got added.
I didn’t even get any other posts made here, although I do have a couple more that I want to make.

OUCH! Last month I thought I did okay while not getting much work done on adding photos. Well this month I’ve done more to get pictures uploaded, but did quite a bit worse.
I think the next thing I need to work on is actually doing a shoot specifically for stock. Right now I’m taking opportune shots but not doing the work to do a shoot that ‘tells a story’ or is specific ‘concept’. Today I think I got some good fall decoration shots, but it’s really too late in the year for them to be of much value this year. Should I wait until next summer to upload them?
I did hit one of my goals of getting 100 images in my ShutterStock portfolio. I was hoping to get it done on IStockphoto as well but they’ve been so slow at reviewing I haven’t made it. And it has seemed that most of my images have been getting rejected anyway by IS.
