Anyone here have $1000 images on shutterstock yet? ... that is to say an image that has sold around 4000X

My closest one is only just over $200.. I have a while to wait i think.

Oh, I do. Only $890 to go.... one has reached $110.

Interesting to see it has earned $102 at IS, almost the same. (None of the others earn equally).

If there are $1000 images on ss, maybe there are non, then there are no more then 10-15 I guess. I have one at place 29 of the most popular and I am a few $ away from $700. To have $1000 images on Istock is much more likely than on SS. Thats one more reason why iS is a much better long term investment.

$1000 on SS alone? That's a very tall order - I think you're doing very well if you can manage $100 for a single image. I was going to say that the only regular member I think might have a shot at it is freezingpics, but even he isn't close.

My best on SS is only 1/4 of the way there - I'm doing much better at IS in this regard.

I've got 2 that are close to 400$ at ss and one of them is at over 600$ at IS and the other about 150$. The total of one of them at the 2 sites is 1035$ does that count?

I thought that you might be getting close, fotografer - I was a bit surprised not to see anything of yours in the 'Top 50' list when I checked it before making my post. You must occupy numbers 51 and 52!

well if you are at $700 you are not TOO far away from $1000

It would be interesting to know which site has earned the most money for a single image.

I think for me Shutterstock actually has earned the most. Istock has only earned $86 or so for the best image there. Dreamstime top image is around $200 - prettty close to shutterstock

Wow, leaf, your IS portfolio is vastly underperforming - you should strongly consider reloading your best images now that you've got the keywording all figured out.

ludesal · « **Reply #9 on:** February 11, 2008, 16:51 »

My best earner is the same on SS and IS. On SS it has 345 dls and have earned $103.5; on IS 641 dls and $707.37. I think vectors are more appreciated on IS.

Last year I was doing great on IS but the last 6 months have been terrible. I'm doing a 1/2 to a 1/3 of what I was doing this time last year when I was even toying with going exclusive when I reached diamond. Maybe leaf is seeing the same.

I think I must be very close by numbers that people have given out on the forums but of course as I sell more so do they so it's very hard to catch up.

i'm feelin lucky - i have one image that is over $200 and one over $150

as long as those images stay in the front of the 'most popular' for their keywords, i'll be in good shape

kosmikkreeper · « **Reply #14 on:** February 12, 2008, 08:41 »

Not even close for me.

On SS I'm at $317 and on IS that same image is at $505.

ikostudio · « **Reply #15 on:** February 12, 2008, 19:36 »

In SS I think that I will need a few years to make that, my best images have 1082 downloads or $345,90

In IS my best image have 1326 downloads or $1279,93.

Only today i saw that I already pass the $1000.00 barrier.

I have $948.85 to go before my best selling image hit's $1000, at IS I have $863.46 to go. The SS image has sold more than double the IS image.
