Being Photographer #426 (I joined Before Rinder, Yuri and many of the others) I have always said and still say Shutterstock Rocks!
When I started we earned .20 cents per image across the board.
We were glad to be able to sell any of our images and had great fun with finding our images in use.
Having a gallery now of 12298 (and still growing) and now earning from . 38 cents through $120.00+ per download I am THRILLED and more motivated then ever before.
My SS income helped me to Pay off my House in 10 years! (SS was a big part of the Extra Income I put on the principle each month) along with other things to numerous to mention.
I have become an Expert Photographer with the help of SS and my Real Time Friends I have made through SS.
I have since started a Second Photography related business that Rocks, have done Product Photography, Pet Portraits, Studio Photography, Head Shots, Engagement Photos, and more along with my Stock Photography.
Anyway Thank You to Jon, Scott, and All the good folks at Shutterstock.
Shutterstock ROCKS!
