MicrostockGroup

Thanks for all your encouraging comments so far, i think as a newbie getting feedback from others as well makes things less frustrating and encourages one not to give up and keep persisting.
Incidentally there is a microstock book by Douglas Freer i saw on Amazon. I went to my local Borders bookshop but they did not have a copy so I could not browse through it and was wondering if anyone has this book and is it good? or worth getting?

I read that website you suggested thanks which is quite good.

With regards to Douglas Freer himself it doesn't matter to me how much he has sold in microstock because I am learning to get into these big sites just now. For someone new like myself I was just wondering if his book was any good and if it adds anything new not mentioned already on microstock tutorial websites so I could decide whether or not it was worth getting?

I once drove a cab for a while, back when the cab companies owned the cars.  They made a little money from  every fare so they hired every driver they could get.  With so many drivers, no single driver could make any money - and the company didn't care, because only the fleet total mattered, and it didn't cost them anything while you sat and waited.   Pretty soon you learned the hot spots - the bus terminal, train station, and of course the airport - but so did everyone else, so those places were mobbed with cabs.  You might try to find an odd niche by connecting with a hotel doorman, or by following the Amtrak schedule.  Once in a great while you'd get lucky and pick up a guy at the airport who lived in Anoka.  Most days you just sat out there until noon and realized you'd made 3 dollars.
