Congratulations on the 4m image! Real shame it doesn't come with a prize. At least it should get some front page exposure.

Out of curiosity - how is it selling?

BTW. my initial batch of 10 images was also approved in 1 day so that happens

Thanks!

So far, downloaded 6 times in 3 days. I have a total of 34 downloads from 10 images. I just got 2 dozen or so approved so hopefully I can boost it up.

What does everyone else average per day on SS for download quantities?

Alright, I forgive you. Where was the theater? We just drove Rte 66 from St. Louis to CA two weeks ago...

Right outside of Carthage, MO. Pretty cool place and well kept up. We go a few times in the summer to movies. Can't beat 2 new releases for $6

I am considering building a site to promote my potfolios and try to refer stock buyers to MS sites. Can everyone post their links to their sites so i can see how you all do it? Just need some good ideas to get rolling.

Well, maybe I was. Was that your exact quote, spoken or written by you, or is that something SS 'helped' with?

Yeah they took that word for word. However, that was one of over a half dozen questions I answered so of course they picked the juiciest (cheeziest) answer to include in their press release.

I think it would have been nice for them to include the image or a link to it at least. I think they are a little more woried about them tooting their own horn, becuase I haven't seen any substantial sales for that particular image. They talked as though this would be a big deal for my portfolio, haven't seen that yet. I have seen overall good consistent sales for the few days I have been on there.

Here, since they didn't link to it, I will.

On a side note, what type of earnings do some of you guys make from SS? Want an idea of what the ptential is.

The 4,000,000th was my image. Not sure what you think is BS but it is true. Perhaps, they watched the cue for the right image...but I had no idea when I submitted it that there was even a slight chance I would have the 4,000,000th. I have been on Shutterstock for less than a week now and so far it has outperformed any 1 day I have had on any other sites. Thanks for the Kudos, Rt. Kind of a shame I finally "won" something in my life and it didn't include a new macbook pro or something

. Thanks to Shutterstock for the publicity.
