...is it possible to earn a living doing this? is there any one out there earning a decent amount ($400 a month or more?)
I'm a full time Engineer and I have been using all my spare time (between 2 kids and a wife) and have managed to build up to 700 - 800 images on all the site with exception to IS which is around 300 now.....and I started on August 24th of 2006...Hi Tom, I'm an engineer also (Mechanical). It's nice to find a colleague here. :)
And i have to get on shutterstock as everyone is saying its one of the best.. just need more hours in the day ( i work on a truck 12 hours per day!!!) still a big thanks to everyone for there help and comments its really great to get feedback!
So i now have about 10 days left till i can resubmit... this time only pics from my d70!!!!! ;D
Thanks guys..... i will concentrate on shutterstock as soon as i can resubmit :-\
Hi all just joined up!! I started with microstock a few months ago and have 106 pics with 123rf, 50 with bigstock and a couple with istock and fotolia (more to go up soon!!!!). My question is having only earn $20 so far (all with 123rf) is it possible to earn a living doing this? is there any one out there earning a decent amount ($400 a month or more?) and if so how many sites are you on and with how many shots? I really just want to know is it worth in the long term all the time spent uploading and keywording? or should i just view this as a fun hobby for a little extra cash now and then?
thanks for taking the time to view this,
Andrew ;D
I think CJ mentioned that there is IPTC freeware out there. I work on a mac, and would love something nifty that will take out the pain of keywording. Does anyone know of anything?
