Selling graphics
Well, June 2009 was my best month ever on microstock! To this article I also added one „history“ graph, showing my earnings for nearly three years in microstock. You can see, that the earnings are bigger and bigger – that's because I'm not lazy and my portfolio is growing.
Here are the graphs

June earnings observations
As I wrote before, June was my best month ever, it was also best month ever for Shutterstock, Stockexpert and iStockphoto.
I had 4 extended licences on Shutterstock and 1 on Dreamstime.
Best microstock sites this moth
Final order of best selling sites for June 2009:
I hope, that next month will be even better because Fotolia is increasing the credit price from 0.6 to 0.75 pounds from 1. July and also because I already have one extended licence on Shutterstock.

Well this site (clipartof.com) has a problem with the tax form:
Each contributor is required to send a W-8BEN or W-9 form and this agreement with your signature and date at the bottom for tax records prior to account setup.
And for such form you need the ITIN number… or not? Anyway you have to send there some agreement and this is a bit complicated for foreign users.
