Shutterstock Portfolio critique needed. Thanks in advance.

Hello microstock community,
I started in the beginning of this year in the microstock business. Since then I sold 80 just in Shutterstock, earned about 25 dollars and so far I'm happy about the results.
Because of that fact I would like to have the most honest feedback about my work and how I can improve it.

Feel free to see it and to give me your feedback.
Thank you in advance,
Cicero.

How much do you want to earn per month? If $25 to $100 per month is your goal than your portfolio is fine.

Will do! Well, some of your editorial stuff is interesting. I particularly like the EU flags on the foreground with Big Ben on the background. I've been trying to capture similar images for ages. That's very much in the news and will continue to be for some time to come.
Some of your protest stuff is OK but awful captions and key words: "Manisfestation against Brexit and Trump." The word 'manifestation' means something completely different in English. As for keywords, you need to really think harder about what buyers will be searching and "donald", "life" "up" is just spamming.
The sailing and concert are quite niche but technically seem OK. The fact that you failed to put the full name of the singer as a keyword is quite disappointing but you can still go back and insert, if you wish.
Good luck and you'll hopefully be earning $25 a day soon!
Alex

You have a nice portfolio, i am a noob to send you the right way, but im guessing that you are doing something right in order to sell editorials ;) i never sell one...

Hi,
My goal it's to sell about $500 per month. That's why I need the most honest opinions in how to improve to reach that. Can you give me?
