Hi,
Do you want a realistic opinion?  If so, I would say $10 dollars every 6 months with the current portfolio, being optimistic here.
You need to improve, study more.

For instance, you need at least be able to spell correctly...What does "Christems Sales" mean? Is it Christmas?

This doesn't look like it was made in USA, the flag is messed up.

To Update you all,
I've now manged to upload 132 vector, photos on my Port so please go through my work again & give me an estimate of sale per day.

Thank you!

Sweetgirl is giving you some very good advice, Stockyme.

I also looked at your portfolio and had the same reactions. Your images seem heavily slanted toward the US market, yet there is something not quite "American feeling" in many of your images, even those that are in English and use the American flag. They feel so "off" that I can't imagine any American ad agency, blogger, etc, even thinking of buying/using them.

My suggestion would be to aim at the market in your own country and others more like it than the US.

I can give a 100% accurate answer.....You will make exactly what you are making.

That just sums it up for me, it's "off" somehow, trying too hard or something. Some of the stuff looks almost like a parody. Too much somehow.
As already said, nobody really knows for sure what will sell. Do what you know, what is available from your own location.

Some of my images are selling well on fotolia & I am happy with overall results. I've made $10 in a week time not sure why some people are only here to make you feel disappointed & no word of encouragement.

Its because they do not like your work. And to be realistic your work can be done much much better, but you will improve by the time. If your tactics are bringing you money so far, than just keep doing it.

Your question here was how much money you can make from your portfolio? Well that is very hard to answer. People here gave you very realistic opinion about your porftolio. And they are right. But that doesn't mean that you wont make any money. There are always all kind people who will need all kind of images. Now imagine if you would improve quality of your work and focus on specific concept  ? You would double or triple your earning in no time.

As i said by the time you will see what is market demanding from you, which images are selling which not. Make rough plans for weekly shoots, see what is selling best, what are world trends at the moment, set yourself and your team weekly and monthly target to be achieved, and most important keep track of your sales and precise statistic. (would recommend excel) Plan few months in front, shoot xmas concept already at the end of september to be ready for upload one/two months before xmas.. Planning - > Production -> Postproduction -> File menagment

I wish you a lot of new sales.

Cheers.

PS. pm me if you want me to send you master copy of our excel statistics , its on Serbian but im sure you would be able to translate it.

People tell it how they see it. Nobody is trying to put a down on you as far as I can see, but if you don't want to hear any negative comment, then don't ask the question.
There really is no point at all in people saying "Oh yes mate, your work is fresh and new, spot on concepts and you'll make a fortune" when they don't see it that way.
Nobody ever learned anything by being told that whatever they did was excellent. Unfortunately that seems to be the modern way.
Glad to hear you are selling.
