Hi all

I'm very new to microstock, having had images up for only about two weeks on Fotolia, Bigstock, iStock, Dreamstime, Shutterstock, Alamy, Canstock, DP, and a few others..

I have between 15 and 80 images up on each agency - the average being about 40.

So far I've had 7 sales:

Fotolia - 1
Dreamstime - 1
Shutterstock - 4  (with only 15 images up! - I am amazed)
Bigstock - 1

Not many sales but admittedly, more than i expected!

I have a varying number of views on all the agencies except On iStock...     Not one single view and I have about 65 images up with them.

By all accounts iStock is a strong agency, not as strong as it once was I know, but referring to the polls, it's the second highest revenue agency after SS...

I'm not all that worried about it as I know as my work improves and i upload more images, things will change. I am more interested as to whether others have a similar experience?

IStock is mostly sub sales and partner sub sales (thinkstock) now.You may get to know about these about the time you start drawing your pension, if not those pennies will go to your children or your children's children, so be patient.
