I think it works the other way round: first become a millionaire, then you can spend your time doing microstock without having to worry about your financial future...

LMAO... now who in the right mind would do that???
a S&M head-case , for sure !!!
if i were a millionaire, i would be out sailing with all the lovely creatures , champagne, etc...
the last thing i would want to do is aspire to be a wreck of atilla...

but it's a funny topic, so it counts

To answer the original question...

No, it can no longer be done.

Unless you have a time machine and can take your port from today and go back to upload it in 2005.

Look at the numbers today. SS increased its overall portfolio by more than 50% in the past year. And at this rate of growth, they might soon be doubling every year. Even Yuri and the like must be struggling to hold on to a fraction of what they once earned.

Someone starting today is a microscopic drop in an ocean that widens every day.

It can definitely be done.

But there's no such thing as easy money. Nowhere. But if you are willing to work hard everything is possible. But hard work means really committing 100% of your life to making it happen.

EDIT:
And.. If you do it for the money I'll say that the chances of success are absolute minimal. You should do it for the love of photography or for the love of being creative.

Has any contributor ever become a millionair selling images? Is it possible for anyone to do it?
Even outside of reality, perhaps in the area of the hypothetical, how could one do it?

Of course it is.
I'll share the secret, but don't tell anyone else:

We pay to designers $5 per 1000 downloads.

Mogwai · « **Reply #30 on:** February 02, 2016, 15:36 »

These replies are great. Although the question is hypothetical it really offers a lens into reality: Even if we take away the human limitations and endow the image creator with top-notch talent it is still extremely unlikely anyone will get rich doing it.

I'd love to hear some more answers possibly crunching numbers and sales patterns. There are quite a few "can I make money doing this!??" threads but has anyone really done some real decent research? Most numbers and demographics we do not have access too.

I'd love to see more numbers, especially from those who have lived the game.

Millionaires....the way things are going I'll be standing on a street corner shaking a tin cup.

I would be happy even with $2000 a month.

it is possible to do it but you need funds to hire people and models and shoot cool stuff and you could do it with video absolutely not with photos

Even at that, would the million be turnover or net profit?

Do you know how to make a small fortune with microstock?
Start with a big one.

Chichikov · « **Reply #36 on:** May 02, 2016, 00:40 »

With a million you don't go so far.

Better to become a billionaire…

I still don't know what we are talking about. Earning a million plus profit per year or total?

I don't know if it's possible to become a millionaire! This guy wrote a book highlighting how to generate a liveable income from stock photography, www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0240808967/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=0240808967&linkCode=as2&tag=zensto10-21 [nofollow] perhaps not a million pounds though!

work, work, work.
or in other words:

think, organize, shoot, edit, upload, index and restart.
EVERY
SINGLE
DAY.

You can become a millionaire with stock...
... but you have to start as a billionaire
