Hey everyone,
I'm a recent joinee to the crazy world of stock photography and am calling out to all other newbies out here (people who've been in the microstock world for less than a year) to take part in a race.
Just answer in this thread with when you joined (rough estimate) and how many downloads you have till date. Let's see who can add 250 downloads to their present number in the fastest time.
The race should give us all a boost of motivation and we can all share stuff we've learned. What's worked for us, what hasn't and how to proceed if you are not one of those already sitting on a 1000+ portfolio
Cheers to us all, let the race begin :)

Stuff that has worked for me
1. using deepmeta
2. filling in keywords in lightroom (no need to type out in all the sites)
3. Stockuploader ; still figuring it out, but looks promising
4. critiques at the shutter stock forums; ripped my pics apart, but gave some really brilliant advise

Hi guys. Good luck on your goals :)
I would say for sure get used to using stock uploader. It'll save you a ton of time!

think of it as a path of learning photography or pick up of new skills. in this way it makes your purpose easier.. if you set a goal of how much to earn..it will kind of disappointed sometimes. Once you are getting regular earning, your one day earning can more than your one month earnings as newbie.
diverse portfolio, as some photos are earning more in microstock..some nice photos may not get the same returns.

Thanks everyone, will look forward to your advise in the race.
I agree on the earnings increase, people here discuss how they earned more in an El License sale than what my entire portfolio earned till date :)). Hope to get there soon
