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!

Extended licences

The biggest surprise is that I achieved so nice results with only 2 Extended licences from Shutterstock!

Best microstock sites this moth

Final order of best selling sites for October 2009 (the order is same as previous month except last two positions):

  1. Shutterstock
  2. Dreamstime
  3. Stockxpert
  4. Fotolia
  5. iStockphoto
  6. 123RF
  7. BigStockPhoto

Some findings:

If you look properly on the graphs, you can see, that the biggest improvemens are on Stockxpert and Fotolia. I think, that it is because I started with uploading of my illustrations in proper vector format (two months ago it was too complicated, because I was too lazy to prepare zip files for those sites, but now, when I'm using iSyndica it is really quick and simple).
