I’m posting the December results, though as many of you know by now, I’m tracking my earnings on the spreadsheet now.? I’ll let you look at the spreadsheet to get the full data but my December 2008 total was $368.09.

December was a lower month for me than November but that’s due to the three EL’s I had on Shutterstock in November and the lack of ELs in December.? My licenses sold actually increased from around 350 to near 500 in December, which is a great sign.

The most surprising move in that bunch came from MostPhotos.? I sold two images on MostPhotos last month for $25.? That brought MostPhotos into the Long Tail just after I’d expelled half of my agencies from my uploading queue.? Given that MostPhotos acts like a full resolution backup of all my images AND that it started selling for me again, I’ve resumed uploading to MP and hope to make enough sales this year (say 10?) to make it worthwhile.

My 3 month average is down from my 6 month average from $433 to $398.? I expect over the next 5 months that will reverse entirely though.? July is still being counted in my 6 month average and July was my BME.? (My 5 month average is $404, much closer to my 3 month).

On a site related note, December was the best month in NiltoMil history by far.? 14, 484 page loads, 6144 unique visitors.? I’ll take that any day of the week.? Thanks for visiting!
