Microstock earnings report - January 2010

First month of the year is over and my microstock earnings report is here again. The slump after Christmas season was not so big as I expected. Even better – the numbers are much higher than previous year – check the last graph in my article.

Microstock earnings report - December 2009 + 2008 / 2009 comparison

The year 2009 is over and it is time to put here some information about the earnings in December and also compare the whole year 2009 earnings with the previous year.

Although December is every year weaker month than November, I reached Best Month Ever on three agencies – Fotolia, Stockxpert and iStockphoto, so it was good month for me.

Microstock earnings report - November 2009

Well I did it again! November was again my Best Month Ever (BME) in microstock industry. The earnings were so good, that I had BME on every microstock agency, where I'm submitting my images.

The best improvement was on Fotolia – check the graph – the earnings are 4× bigger than they were in summer.

Microstock earnings report - October 2009

Exactly as I predicted, October was again Best Month Ever (BME) for me in microstock! The earnings were so good, that I'm not sure if the next month will be better again (November was the best month every year – look at the history graphs in my report). I had the BME on Shutterstock, Dreamstime, Stockxpert, Fotolia and 123RF!

What is the best vector image size for selling in microstock?

Few months ago I wrote an article about preparing vector illustration for sale in microstock and there I wrote, that 16 Megapixels should be the ideal size for the JPG preview. But now I made a small research and found, that 16 Megapixels is not enough!

Microstock earnings report - September 2009

September was the Best Month Ever (BME) for me in microstock. And I'm awaiting that another BME will be in October and also in November, because in those months are the microstock earnings the highest for every year (you can check it on my last graph in the article). I had also the BME on Shutterstock and Dreamstime.
