Title: Two Major Milestones in One Day
Post by: GeoPappas on October 24, 2006, 06:14

Yesterday, I had two major milestones on the micrstock sites:

- I went over the 500 sales mark at iStock and earned my 1st new canister (a bronze one).  This doesn't get me much, since it only increases the # of uploads per week and I only upload a few photos a week, but it is a good moral boost.

- I went over the 100 sales mark at Fotolia and earned my 1st new ranking (a bronze one).  This one will hopefully get me a little more, since it increases royalties from 33% to 35% and allows one to increase their Extended licenses.

All in all, it was a very good day.

Congratulations.  You are way ahead of me at iSotck but just behind at fotolia.

What is your all time rank at fotolia.  When I made the Bronze canister, my rank was 1000 and I have slipped slightly since (mental note: must upload more - mantra quality and quantity).

Thanks you very much.  Fotolia doesn't seem to do as well for me for some reason.

My all-time rank is currently 1226, but it seems to move up and down from day-to-day and week-to-week.

Good point - how many millions does the exclusivity estimator say you will earn?

Congratulations, I only got half way towards my first in IS ( even though this month has been really good for me ), IS is now passed FT, a distant third for me behind SS and DT.

Congrats.  May your next 500 at IStock occur quickly and be very profitable.  Same luck with Fotolia.
