I had a good month:
$572 from a portfolio of 750 images on an average in about 10 sites.
Was around $88 in Dec 2011, so that's a huge jump.
27 months in stock(started in Oct 2010).
Up 13% from Nov 2012

Has been a BME on SS, DT, FT, CS and DP. Others didnt fare too badly. I am a few dollars shy of hitting my increment at SS and hope to see a bigger BME for July.

I just joined microstock a year and a half ago and seeing a growth of 15% increase in revenue every month. I have an average of 400 files in most of the sites(increasing at the rate of 50-70 files a month). Infact my revenue growth for last 6 months is 21%.  Is this growth sustainable?

To be honest, this is very bad for someone just starting out and adding 50-70 files/month. Probably should have been over 100%. What are you going to do when you get over 1000 files? Now you're growing your port by 15-20%/month. How do you plan to shoot 150-200 files /month after another 10 months (when you'll hit 1k files)?

Thanks for the reply.. I am uploading around 80-100 images of which 75% are accepted.. And actually I am happy with that.. My goal is to make a $1000/month income by next march and this is very much feasible if the 15% per month revenue increase sustains. My only concern is will my 15% growth month on month sustainable in long term? Even 10% per month increase over next 2-3 years is fantastic for me(as it would be a compounding increase)!

Meanwhile I am researching on what kind of images make a candidate for an EL sale.. If I come to know the trick, that would be it!

I am also thinking to start selling my own images.. I have put a few images at fineartamerica.com and smugmug.com, but no sales yet. I think doing it from scratch using tools like ktools or e-junkie is better in long term. And its really encouraging to see many here are making money from it.
