The Microstock Photography Blog

I was very pleased to login to my istockphoto account and see my first succesful sales!

Feels almost silly to be excited about an earnings of 2.48 (4 total sales)..   but one has to start somewhere.

I find the types of photos that sell in microstock always to be suprising.  Of the 14 of my photos that were accepted, the macro photo of a power cord sold twice.  Picture of a softball glove was the other sale.    Just funny to me that something as mundane as a power cord..  but I suppose somebody was willing to pay a few bucks for it.

I’ve set goals for myself to upload a minimum of 10 photos a week to istockphoto.

That will be the first site I upload to - I’ll then reuse those same photos to upload to the other sites.

I’ll post shortly with a bit more on my strategy.   Now to find 10 decent photos a week..
