Newbie Discussion / Should SS be 50% of my income?
« on: July 08, 2014, 15:07 »
Hello everybody!
First of all I take the opportunity to introduce myself.
I'm Diego from Argentina, Buenos Aires.

I've been following this forum for a while now. It has been super useful  from resources to personal opinions about the business. It really gives me an idea of what to expect.
I understand that this will not be my main source of income but I'm crazy about photography and enjoy selling my photos.

I'm really a newbie with only 200pics portfolio and the first main issue I'm having is that in SS the sales are going great and as I expected with good growth when uploading but this agency on it's own is not enough. I read several times that it should represent more or less 50% of my income and the other 50% the combinations of other agencies.

Right now I'm uploading to this agencies and this are the results for June 2014:

- Shutterstock $44 (Usually $35-40)
- Dreamstime $3.5
- Istock $12
- Fotolia (First uploads then stopped) $0
- Canstock $0
- Bigstock $2.25
- 123RF $4.37

As you can see:
Total $66.12
SS 66.54%
Other Agencies 33.45%

I'm doing something wrong?
Should I take other approach to other agencies?
In order to keep growing my income which is the minimum percent I should increase my portfolio per month?

Any suggestions are more than welcome.
Thanks in advance!!
