I thought it would be interesting to get an idea how long most of us have been involved in microstock.

So vote to when you uploaded your first microstock image.

I uploaded a few images in fall 2006 to test the viability of doing this full time, and began in earnest in Jan 07.

I started in Feb 05, with Shutterstock. I earned a grant total of 89c in that first month!

I stumbled across istock in late 2004. Then bigstock and canstock were next.

- 2005 I started buying so my status is quite old on some sites.
- 2006 (barely) with DT & FT
- 2007 Started to make some $ and joined the rest
- 2008 Joined Zym, likely my last new site unless something exciting turns up
- 2009 I've had an account at Canstock for years, I plan to actually upload some photos this year
- 2009 May upload to my Alamay account, although I doubt I will ever produce the volume for this site to have much effect for me.

Started at DT in June '08 with ten landscape/nature images.  All were accepted and I have rapidly worked my way down ever since.  

So much for success breeds success.   ::)

June-July 2007 with no clues about what microstock was.

I was 22 years old and directly out from a big photography store where I learned the basics of photography from the "pro's" there. I slowly started to upload at microstock and still upload slowly, while I got the "advantage" of a whole life (career) in front of me. No worries and I can still enter in night clubs 8)

Started with BigStock June 21, 2006 with this photo:



It has been sold 3 times.
Today I would not start out on any site with a nature shot but 4 out of five were accepted. After my first month of $30.00 plus earnings I have never missed a monthly check since then. (30.00 to 75+)

Very steady earner for me.

my my how time flies

started at a site in 2003 was banned and then found a home at canstock.. - this was one of the first (not sure if it was the first - but one of the first ten) images I uploaded  I just took a look at it at 100% and will probably use it as an example of isolation with the dull chainsaw technique.. ;0)
