It seems that everybody is in the same put hole, but everybody talk about it in graphs and percents

We all know the micro stock industry is getting harder

1. Too many sites
2. Low costs
3. Even lower revenues
4. Increase of contributors and images on daily bases

If you could summer your income for 2013/2014

What is your monthly income in average per your portfolio?

Does not matter how many sites you are in just want to know how all of us finish the month

For me with 350 images and videos (90%/10%) monthly revenues are about 80-100$

600 images = 500$

That's because people don't want to give income numbers, since it's really NOYB.

Many would feel very comfortable making 3K/month. But not so many are chosen.

They say a good performing port averages 50c RPI pm, so if you want $3,000 you should have 6,000 good performing images ... So you should really be talking percentages.

Really? Depends on many other variables- i.e. where you live in the world. Maybe $1,000 USD is enough to live like a king in one part of the world or be homeless in another part of the world.

Nobody has said you have to have thousands of sales, what has been said is that you need thousands of images, and that a good "Return Per Image" per month (that is the average you get per image in your PF) would be $0.50.
There will be incomes here that are much, much more than "just talk", but very few if any people are going to discuss it in public, and even if they did it would only tell you what they can make, not what you could make.
But go on, you make us more comfortable. Tell us what you earn from microstock, show us your portfolio. People might take your questions more seriously then, but still I doubt if they'll talk about their income.

well i asume that most of the people here dose not live in places that 3000USD can make u live like a king

i didnt want to get into anybodys pocket but it seems that all the posts about loss of income and all the replys of i have great sales and make a living out of it dose not sit hand in hand

thats why i opened this post, didnt want people to share there portfolio (copy cats) and no what there most sold image and not wher do they sell them

just want to understand whos making real money these days from microstock and think if its a fantasy or real deal

No doubt it's a real deal for some people. Some of us have taken hits in income recently, but that doesn't necessarily mean that's everyone or that  it's all over.
If you're really asking whether it's possible to make a living at stock starting now, then the only thing for sure is that it's a lot harder than it was ten years ago.
There are too many variables to say much else with any certainty.

The problem, VStudio, is that even though we share a lot of information on this forum, we should be grateful for anything that others reveal. But in reality, we are all competitors in this market. It's like Burger King going up to McDonalds and saying, can I see all your financials so that I can compare my performance to yours. You have to work it out for yourself.

So, when you said in your original post, "but everybody talk about it in graphs and prevents", that's a good starting point. Use the Poll Results on the side, and multiply those numbers as a percentage of $500 (eg, SS would be $505), then you can see how much the average person makes.

Also, based on what u said (350 images/videos = $100 pm for you), you can ascertain that your port is returning you at best 28c. And if a good port returns 50c per month, then your images are under performing.

Oops, my spellcheck has a mind of its own, PREVENTS should be PERCENTS.

true for some, not for others - that's why rpi is such a poor measurement - esp'ly when you're looking across many sites -- eg If you have 1000 images on ss you may get $500 / month, but the SAME 1000 images on dp or ft, etc will probably only result in  $50 according to the poll results.  so listing just SS gives you an rpi of $.50 but listing on many sites gives a much lower rpi, but actually earns you more $

RPI assessment should be calculated on total sales across all sites you are listed on. My average RPI in this regard is 51c RPI for total agencies (average per month for this calendar year), so I am happy with my overall performance ... so RPI is still a very good indicator, if you look at it as total sales (for all agencies) for month divided by number of images.
