General Stock Discussion / become a full timer?
« on: November 10, 2012, 16:03 »
hi guys

two years ago i post one topic here: http://www.microstockgroup.com/general-stock-discussion/am-i-doing-ok-with-micro-stock/

at that time i was seriously considering leaving my day job and become a full time microstocker, funny despite that i hate my day job to death i still didn't quit it yet. it's a lot of financial responsibilities on my shoulder as i'm the only one brings home the bacon, as a man i swallowed a lot of pain and unhappiness for the family. today i'm in a much better situation now, mortgage is paid off and bought one car for my wife and a new van for my photo business in cash, during the last two years i almost doubled my portfolio and my earning is now more than doubled. i know that a lot of guys will not believe this but as a part time microstocker i'm making more than $8000 a month, 3 times more than my full time job pay check!

technically and financially i think i'm ready to tell my boss to got to hell, however maybe due to my personality - being too cautious, mentally i somewhat still short of some confidence, mainly due to that i was never professionally trained and being the sole income provider for the family, the decision will have huge impact on the family as well.

am i being too ridiculous that with these figures i'm still worrying? your honest opinion needed, especially from the successful old timers.

hi guys

I'm new here.

I'm a part time, non-exclusive photographer (thinking about become a full time stocker), i have +/- 5000 pics on SS, DT, FT, 123RF, BigStock, CanStockPhoto, TS, out of this 5000 pics i believe there are quite lot similar ones, there are about 800 pics i consider as "better ones" which are on IS.

my total monthly income about $3500 ($1000 from IS), am i doing ok in this game? how do you find my figures?

thanks
