1. Quit day job FINALLY!!!
2. Do full time shooting
3. More travelling
4. Pay a student to take over the boring stuff like uploading, maybe keywording too

Life would definitely be more fun!

Same here.

I would probably blow most of it on beer and food.

Don't forget to save some for loose women.

I would buy me one of those new spiffy batmobile type Italian cop cars

I'm not going there,because I'll never make that much.

patballard · « **Reply #32 on:** April 29, 2009, 13:21 »

Pay off one of our mortgages, move back to Santa Fe, and keep shooting.

Quit job and do whatever I like to do.

helix7 · « **Reply #34 on:** April 29, 2009, 22:51 »

While I can easily say that I'd quit the day job, I'm not so sure that I'd be able to pull the trigger if I were in that situation. If I were making $10k a month in microstock, my total monthly income would be $10k plus what I was still making at the day job. So my total monthly income would drop significantly by quitting. On the other hand, quitting the day job would allow be to crank out a lot more new images for microstock, and eventually increasing my income back to (or beyond) the level it was at when I had the day job money still coming in.

Aw screw it... I'd still quit the day job anyway, even if my total income had to take a dive for a little while.

The freedom alone would be priceless.

Start shooting pics only for fun again! That mean burst shots while spinning on myself

fotografer · « **Reply #36 on:** April 30, 2009, 01:09 »

Yes, I understand that. I am now making considerably more from stock than I do on my day job but have now got used to spending that much money. If I now gave up my day job I would probably more than make up for it as I would have so much time for doing stock but it is a risk.

A bit like this one?

Ok, not exactly a batmobile, but purchased by someone who makes more than 10k/month in microstock.

I am on my way to making that milestone. If it was there, I could bust my hump to double that as fast as I could! And in between all of that, I would take exotic trips that would bring me good revenue in stock photography

Uniform by Armani. Car by Lamborghini. If you want to be a cop, it appears Italy is the place to do it.

I'll tell the owner you think it's a girl's car.

Well Lee, no offence to the owner. Just that a car like that doesn't seat very well with spandex

The Lambo interior has to be Armani too, of course

Mr Torrens,
is that Yuri's car or yours ?

Lee Torrens · « **Reply #44 on:** May 01, 2009, 09:14 »

LOL. I publish my earnings so it's not difficult to figure out I'm not earning 10k/month. I'm still struggling to break 1k. Actually, using the word 'struggling' would imply I'm trying, but I've been seven months without uploading.

I thought it would be pretty obvious who the car belongs to. Take a look at the plates. Who lives in that country and earns more than 10k/month in micro?

Freezingpictures · « **Reply #45 on:** May 01, 2009, 09:52 »

I though he wanted to get an Audi R8. But it is anyway a nice car and more than enough

It should have been obvious, but when I asked I was just about ready to fall asleep at my desk. Some Sherlock Holmes I'd make.

This morning, after my usual coffee refueling, it's much more obvious. Thanks.

Not a bad choice, if you ask me. If I were at his income level, I'd be looking at Audi's too.

Haven't been to that side of the globe outside of Gotham City

so i wouldn't recognize the plate . You must have confused me with my buddy Superman; he 's the one who travels all over

Oh, and buy a better camera.

Start a new stock site and live from the images of people that never reach payout.
