It absolutely depends on the quality of your work. It also depends on the needs of the buyers. It took me two years to accumulate enough sales to achieve my first $50 payout. It has taken me three months to get the second one. Your experience may be different. Meanwhile, I've learned a lot about photography, I've invested in some better equipment, and I've constantly increased my portfolio size--I'm up over 800 now. I believe all those things have increased my sales. Patience and determination are required equipment. Don't quit your day job until you see how successful you are, but don't be discouraged just because this isn't the road to instant riches.
