We’re seeing a huge increase in “new visitor” traffic since my Top 10 About the First 10 post so I figured now would be a good time to explain a little bit more about NiltoMil and what I’m doing with this site.
My goal at NiltoMil is to track my microstock progress from $0 through $1,000,000.? While a high goal, it is attainable and something others have accomplished.? As of January 1st, 2009 NiltoMil has earned $6839.46 and counting.? Along the way I post my observations, tips & tricks, some help for your own sites/blogs/shoots and other cool info I think the N2M readers would be interested in reading.? Each post is abbreviated on the front page.? Click the title or the “Read more” to see the entire post.
The way I track all of my portfolio and earnings information is on a Google Spreadsheet (click here).
The top row of buttons (starting with Home) contains the NiltoMil static pages.? I update these as often as I can remember and when things change.? They are the “permanent” parts of NiltoMil in that my Agencies, Income results and goals do not change but rather grow.
The second row of buttons (starting with Business) is a list of post categories.? All of the posts on NiltoMil are sorted into one or more categories and clicking any of these links takes you to all of the posts in that category.? There are also three or four “hidden” categories – stuff for my records but if you can find them, great!
The right side menu has a list of common tags – the larger the tag, the more often I post about that particular topic (obviously “microstock” is the largest tag).? If you’re interested in more posts about that topic, click the tag and you will see every post with that tag.? Archives, most popular posts (a new feature) and recent comments are also there.
Finally, our RSS feed is http://www.niltomil.com/feed If you would like to subscribe to NiltoMil use that link and you will be able to read us every time we update.? We have just over 100 subscribers currently!
Thanks for being a reader – whether an old one or new.? We appreciate all of the support, comments and help we get!? If you’d like more information, please check our About NiltoMil page.
Matt – I can’t find how to insert my avatar into my user profile on this site?
ok, gravatar is the answer (and email registered in gravatar should be the same as at this site) ![]()
Yes, sorry – I should have posted the answer after I emailed you. Your email address is linked to a Gravatar.com account and whatever your Gravatar is shows up here. Thanks!
I was curious how long it would take to make your million, so I did a quick calc. Figuring that you made $4,900 last year based on your monthly average, I found that in order to get there in 15 years, you would need to grow your yearly earnings between 30-35%. For 10 years, it would take a little under 65% yearly growth.
Sweet calculations. My income last year was based on realistically 1-2 months of work though. I’m guessing at $15,000-25,000 this year which is 300% to 600% growth. At that rate it would only take a couple of years – but I have to keep increasing well. My goals are to grow much much faster than 30-35%… if not, I will probably fail miserably. If I grow 100-300% a year, I’m going to be at an incredibly different place at this time next year.
Thanks for the comment!
