But to be honest, $100 for 1,000 images is very low. You should already be hitting $600 a month with that many images, or at least be in the ball park. It's hard to give advice on what needs to be done to get to $600 without seeing the images you have now. I don't consider myself to be the best photographer in the world, but I'm making about $2,000 a month off 1,850 images on all sites with most of the earnings coming from a core group of images. I'd say about $1 per image in your port per month would be about average.

results will vary completely based on subject matter alone -- 1000 travel shots probably won't make $100 per month.   so any average  isn't really useful for comparison since each portfolio is unique

Stock Photography Started back in the 1920's, At that time It was about 3 subjects. Travel , landscapes and Flowers. I think  thats covered. But as Rob Knows all to well, You got a cute kid and can shoot  well. Your good to go. No expenses at all. Work that kid till he gets geeky , then shoot another one....LOL
