Congrats to Hidesy - 300,000 DLs

Congrats to Hidesy who has just passed 300,000 downloads at iStock.

I last congratulated her in March this year on achieving 250,000, so she's sold a further 50,000 images in about five months.

I reckon she's getting an average of $1.20 or so per download, so at an annualised 120,000 downloads that's $144,000 per annum or AUD $170,000 (Australian Dollars).

For comparison, a good stockbroker in Sydney will be on a basic salary of about AUD $120,000 plus benefits and bonus.

She is a shining example to us all.  What's more - she's only 27 years old and until five years ago had never taken a professional photo!  Gulp!

leaf:
wow... yep, that is what hard work is all about.

Perrush:
maybe this is a good opportunity to post my interview with her I did a few months ago.

Keep on truckin', hidesy!

Lee Torrens:
That stockbroker in Sydney is paying living costs over double of what Hidesy pays living outside Brisbane.  Add to that the commute and 'corporate wardrobe' expenses that the stockbroker pays, but subtract Hidesy's equipment costs, and you could say she's earning double, relatively speaking.
