5S here and the app freezes. After that I need to close it and launch it again. With the previous version I could also switch faster between earnings modes. :/

If SS send your payment on July 15 you're on time. Just wait a few days, maybe hours.

Some people do amazingly well with several hundred illustrations. Others do amazingly well with tens of thousands. And everything in between. Develop a unique style, find a niche, upload regularly and pay attention to keywords.

It's quality over quantity in this vector business. Do something that is useful for many :) Easier said than done, but it's the same in every area of business.

A successful vector image needs these:

- usefulness (a broad audience is a must)
- eye-catching (try to amaze your customers with colors and quality)
- do a collection (yes, you have to "cut" the price by doing a collection, because customers will buy these to their repertoire even if they don't need them at the moment)

Pick a niche. Study it. Own it.

I'm generating about $6/vector/month. I have a considerably small portfolio, but have been pushing some quality vectors. I'm sure there's people who make better dollar per image. So remember quality, quality and quality.

Bolded by me... That is pretty impressive. I am generating $3-$4 a month per vector piece if we are averaging it out. But this is just on SS. And a lot of my pieces are sets or collections which take more time to create.

I am curious if your portfolio is less than 100 pieces when you say considerably small. Mine is in the range of 200-400 range. And most of my vectors have been created years ago when i was exclusive at istock. These days, I concentrate my efforts in my career which isnt in micro.

I'm also doing a lot of collections. That $6 is across all the microstock. SS is pretty much same as you have. Depends on month.

I actually have a close to four digit portfolio, but I've been doing this full time for a while now. I think my portfolio is still pretty small compared to few guys.

6$? RPI/year or monthly? I mean, if it is monthly that's a very high number. :)

Ouch. Fotolia stats are down in IOS. Due to the new website, I guess.

Well done, thanks!

Same problem here with SS login. IOS user. There's another app out there that redirects to the SS login page inside a browser. (Just if it helps to shed a little light to developers).
However, nice and must have app!
