My goal is to do less and make more which in my day job means moving into a management position!

I'm spending less time on microstock. Going to do more timelapse videos and more arty stuff. Sold one of these last week, nice soft LCV stuff is the way forward for me

I plan to follow my plan and I hope it works out.

My list (both business and personal):

1. Submit more
2. Take more photos
3. Process faster- do more in the camera and less in photoshop
4. Drink more water
5. Eat less bad food
6. Don't bug my wife for you know what
7. Take some professional photos courses
8. Don't bitch about rejections or others members on MSG
9. Stop worrying about lower commissions
10. Have fun taking photos

Sounds like a smart list except #6. If you stop bugging your wife, she may feel insulted.

Lol on number 6

Or she might feel I have a girlfriend!

Diversify. That's my word of the year.

So, you're going to drop the crown and try some of the other microstock's out there? 'Bout time.

Actually, diversification is about the only way to make it in this business any more. Stock agencies (RF and RM), self-marketing, print sales, teaching workshops, etc. I know what I have to do, now it's a matter of getting the energy and motivation to do it.

Today is my first official day as a full-time microstocker

Money from microstock (and savings) gave me this change to quit my daily job and concentrate 100% in microstock. I felt this was the right time to took this step in my file as this is some sort of a dream job for me. Income from microstock pays the bills atm but that's pretty much it so I have to work hard.

I think there is not much of easy money left in microstock but doing quality stuff should grow my income.
