Title: Zero to hero....
Post by: hatman12 on June 26, 2007, 18:30
Well I've joined the rest of you lot in achieving the $500 level overnight, and also had my first 30c download.....

From my first submission on March 9th it has taken 109 days to get from zero to hero; it has been a lot of bloody hard work and I reckon I've aged at least 138 years in the process (which makes me nearly as old as Sharply...)

Next target is $500 per month; to get to that I've calculated I only need to work 18 days per week, own 9 cameras, have an extra couple of arms attached and recruit three or four assistants to work 36 hours a day doing photoshop.....

Food?  Friends?  Life?  Sex?  What are those things......?

Congratulations Hatman!

Our mate Yuri has 12 assistants and recently cracked $300 per day on Shutter.  You can crack $500 per month with just one assistant, I'm sure.  ;)

Here's some help for you
Food - these sell pretty well on Microstock
Friends - Some of them will sign Model Release for free.
Life - One of the the keywords you can use for shots with small plants growing held in clasped hands.
Sex - sells everywhere.

Hey, watch it there, bub!

Congrats, hatman - you're sure to exceed the $500/month level in no time!
Your do good stuff, and I'm surprised that it took you as long as it did to reach $500.

... keep up the great work!
