Topic: How I went from $100 to $5000 month

I find MS artist very much like Amway salesmen, they buy into the BS from the agencies.

I am not here to offer you anything. I'm simply saying there are viable alternatives to being a Micro-stock slave.

Micro-Stock will be so watered down and priced so low in a few years it will make all points here irrelevant.

Personally I think Pond5 will be the number One  agency in 2 years if they stick to setting your own price. All other models will fail.

I'm pretty sure most of us here have enough business savvy to have figured that out. You could have said that, with that one sentence, in your first post. I see links to sites and blogs from you, so I'm guessing it's not that you are offering us anything, it's that you want something from us, like maybe traffic to your sites? Just wondering what the whole point here is.

It would be great, though, if you WOULD share your secret to making $5000 a month. I could sure use the help.  Wink

I would assume the big selling point of my DVDs was the 300 HD video clips. With links to said clips at stock sites.

Again there is that suspicious attitude... like everybody is a scam. Get over yourselves, your not that important.

I offer 800 free pics through a download service. People have to fill out a survey to get the download.

It's free. But people sure get all worked up and suspicious.

Rather humorous.

Again the rather petty remarks of driving traffic to my sites.... quite childish.

I've had 15000 hits at *link removed* in the last 10 days and climbing. A few clicks from here is not a big deal.

If you need to stir controversy and post your links here to have ten or twenty, hits... Well, that talks a lot.

Still confused about this...

https://flippa.com/122678-500month-Hot-website-collection-of-Video-clips-and-Photos

It appears you sold your previous site, along with the rights to your images and video clips.

Did that happen?

The page lists your various ports, but at least the Dreamstime one -- http://www.dreamstime.com/Canadafirst_info -- appears to be gone.  Did the buyer get your images and videos?  If so, how are you still selling them on Ebay?

I guess your not very adept at an Ebay search.
... I am not selling something... yet you want my secret ingredient for free.

If you're the seller and the buyers can't find your product then you are clearly 'not very adept' at how to list items on Ebay.

If you want to keep your 'secret ingredient' then why start the thread in the first place? You just sound like yet another failed 'wanabee' microstocker. Not everyone has the talent to make a living from microstock but those who do enjoy an extremely privileged lifestyle.

Your flippa listing said you made $500 a month selling DVDs on Ebay.  Here you're telling us $5,000.  Which is it?

You accuse others of having a suspicious attitude, then immediately assume people are going to steal a photo that you post a link to? Nice.

Good job coming into a microstock forums to talk smack about microstock. We've never seen that one before. Very original.

It might be accepted if it is good enough technically at 100% __ but sales are another matter. The buyers have a huge range of high-quality images to choose from;

Why not upload it and find out?

I made better shots wen I was ten. Not many... two or three out of hundreds, maybe. MS is not about the ability of making one good shot now and then, but of producing and uploading many acceptable or good pics a week. That's how this works.
That said, there must be ten thousand or so water drops photos, many more commercial than yours, at the MS sites. I don't like the black background, but that's just my taste.
