They saw madness is repeating the same action while expecting a different outcome ...


If you sort your istock portfolio by downloads the top 3 all have colour in them. If a designer wants a b& w image they can desaturate it in PS. I would suggest uploading alot more colour images.

And I would suggest looking at the portfolios of the top sellers and see what sells best for inspiration.

I don't think but a very few are making much in these micro stock sites. A few dollars here and there.

rjmiz:
Eugene, brace yourself for the news. As a photographer you are utterly a failure. Give it up.
Sell your equipment now while you can still get a sufficient amount of cash for it.

This is a fact: You will starve as a stock photographer. Don't under any circumstances quit
you regular job if you have one. Take up a more satisfying hobby like raising gold fish, or knitting.
