That's great Mark!   ;D

You will soon see that it was worth the wait, and the effort.  Shutterstock sales will change your mind about what can be accomplished in microstock.

Everyone's mileage varies Mark, but I can tell you Shutterstock has risen to 50% of my portfolio earnings.  Not even the mighty IStock comes close to matching them for me.  June is already off to another roaring start.   8)

That's great news!  And, you likely just doubled your earnings.  WAY TO GO!

Congratulations!  Now you too can take over the world $.25 at a time.   ;)  Once buyers start downloading you photos, you'll see how fast your balance can grow.

Thanks everyone !

My Shutterstock sales are taking off and "Best Sellers" are starting to distinguish themselves in addition to new sales from new approvals from contributing almost daily ...  ;D

Mark, found one of your images here:

http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-13492135-isolated-carrot-potato-or-other-vegetable-peelers-on-a-white-background.html (http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-13492135-isolated-carrot-potato-or-other-vegetable-peelers-on-a-white-background.html)

I think you just may have set up your referral link incorrectly.

Congratulations on your success with SS.

I do have a portfolio on SS (currently 122 images approved)   ;D

I am sorry for the error with the SS portfolio link icon. I had it trying to read my login name instead of my member number (operator input error  ::) The SS link to my portfolio should be working properly now.

Thank you for your interest !

Congratulations!

I submitted my first batch to SS last night and got destroyed!  0/10!  7 of the images had been approved by iStock already!  It's good to see that patience does indeed pay off.  Keep up the good work!

Post by: leaf on July 02, 2008, 14:23
yeah, different sites like different things.. you gotta decide which site to 'play' for and work based on that... or, try and please them all which ends up being a lot of work.
