If I am earning $20 with 200 images on Shutterstock, I’ll earn $200 with 2000 images. Anyone experienced that?

How I wish this were true.  On a positive note though if your next 1800 images are as good and commercial as the original 200 then yes. They might even be better! Good luck.

pancaketom:
No, not even close. Sorry, I wish it was linear.

SpaceStockFootage:
What UKstock says. Although if you're uploading similars then there's a point where you start cannibalising your own sales... but with the benefit of showing up more often in searches, and increasing the chance that buyers will take one or the other if you have two images with the same content.

And it's always hard to know what's going to sell and how well... so you may think your additional 1800 images are just as good, if not better, than your original 200... and they end up not being that popular.

Bottom line... you'll make more with 2000 than you will with 200. Only time will tell how much!

Pauws99:
Not my early experience and probably hard to achieve now...but if you are a very good photographer and respond to and even better anticipate customer demand I'm sure it could be done and better. With the state of the market though I wouldn't take on any financial commitments such as loans based on projected income.
