angelawaye:
May I ask what year you started doing micro?

This is not a get-rich-quick guide and even the thought of making Microstock sound like an appealing business model (for the vast majority of contributors), makes me want to puke. So, this chapter is basically an exercise in 'thinking outside of the (Microstock) box' to brainstorm sustainable alternatives (perhaps knitting :) ) using the skills gained by participating in the Microstock market.

I started in 2009 but quickly lost interest and only seriously since 2012. My early work was crap, though.
Justanotherphotographer:
I would only buy a guide form someone who has made a massive success of microstock, and anyone who has made a massive success off it isn't going to write a guide.
Pauws99:
I've got a couple by people who were pretty succesful I think -- Rob Slyvan "taking stock" and Doug Freer They were useful to me at the time but a lot of content probably quite dated now.
SpaceStockFootage:
I should whip one up... "The Brutally Honest Guide to Space-Related Microstock Motion Graphics". I still need to write my other book though... "The Holy Grail: Perfect Crispy Crackling Every Time, and Other Adventures in Pork".
Or I could combine them, two great topics in one book. Could be a game changer.
Chapter 1 – Intro to space stuff
Chapter 2 - Buying the right meat.
Chapter 3 – Scientific accuracy in you animations
