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.

Microstock earnings report – August 2009
August was quite a weak month – my sales drops to the March level. And it looks like August was weak month also in previous two years (in 2008 it was because my account on Shutterstock was disabled for several days). The sales went down on all my accounts, except Fotolia.

Microstock earnings report – July 2009
In July, there was not any surprise in the overall earnings for me – July 2009 was just a little bit worse than June – it is very similar as in the previous years in microstock – check the last graph in the report, where you can compare the earnings since 2007. Only on iStockphoto I had the BME (without any extended licence) – last image was added to my iStock portfolio in May!
iSyndica – easy multiple upload on several microstock sites
Did you ever think about how much time you spend just by uploading your images to several microstock sites? I did and after that I decided, that I need some system, which will save me some time. The iSyndica service is one of the solutions – once you have account on this service, you will upload your files just to this one website (the upload there is quite quick) and after that you can easily distribute your images to all microstock agencies, where you are selling.
