I tried uploading a picture to the new assignment, but yesterday it was approved as an ordinary file. Bit of a mess.

I have a full time teaching job, kids who are 2 and 3 y.o., and a run-down house and garden that needs tending. One of the kids was born with a paralyzed arm, tests have just shown that the other one is almost deaf. So the next years will be spent running between work, physiotheraphy, sign language classes etc. Microstock photography is my escape.

The inheritance laws in my country are quite simple: everything (up to a couple of millions) go to the spouse. When he or she dies, it goes to the kids (you can't disinherit your children, they all get an equal share). Since these also are my models, it is natural to leave any potential income to them. So if the agencies accept the laws in the different countries without a will, I don't see the need to write one.

I often browse through the "latest searches" on dreamstime and check which of these have few hits. I have found a couple of niches that were almost empty. I also left a comment about this to the reviewer when I uploaded the pictures, and have not recieved any "not stockworthy"-rejections on these pictures, even though they are not the typical "smiling girl with headphones".

Thank you! No need to worry yet, then.

I've had almost nothing for a long time, but the last four days the sales have increased a lot.

It's a mobile phone number, so it should be theoretically possible that someone is carrying that phone around with them, even when they go to lunch.

Do your government want you to report the income you have earned, or the income you have recieved? We report the latter. This means that (if I didn't need the money asap, and I earned enough to get past the hobby-regulations) I could keep all my money at the stock sites, and collect them when it would be benificial to do so for tax reasons, e.g. a year my other income was low and my expenses were high.

Thank you, Leaf! Both for the new forum and for teaching me a new word.

DT continues to increase for me. Both number of sales and revenue are BME.

Payoneer only charges the monthly fee if there is money on your account. So if you withdraw everything the same month as you get the money, the price for one withdrawal would be:

2$ monthly fee
2,15 $ ATM fee
up to 2,2% above market rates, based on the current exchange rates. I don't know what that would mean in real money?

Right now I wouldn't withdraw anything in Norway, since the exchange rate for dollars is at a all time low; 5,8 NOK for one dollar. You would loose more because of this than because of any banking fees.

You could have a look at my collection on DT. Maybe it has something you can use.

English is not my first language, so I get a bit confused about when I should use the different terms. When do you keyword  picture with baby, toddler, preschooler, etc.? Is baby up to one year, or two? Can I lable a picture with both preschooler and toddler? Are child and baby conflicting terms?
