Ah June.? Smells of bbq, flowers and sales worth dog poop.
As always my chart (which was done on the 1st btw!) is here.? And for Lee who is self-proclaimed lazy, I’m posting a June chart:

The work … well … let’s see.? For the month I started strong and have had a terrible last two weeks.? I had some personal stuff come up that has interfered with “work.”? I would say for the month I did about 4 days of uploading at about 2? hrs a day so 8 hrs of …

Total Earnings: $408.01
I knew this month was going to be bad about 1/3 of the way through when I was on my way to possibly a Worst Month Ever.? I didn’t quite get that far down as May finished just over $400 for my 4th worst month since I started tracking in detail.? I’m fairly certain it couldn’t get much worse so I’m looking for a REALLY huge bounceback month in June!
Onto the details.
One BME to report – StockXpert – at $44.50 was my BME.? I didn’t have a $30 …

January – blessed January!? How do I love thee?
It was absolutely fantastic to get back to uploading with any sense of regularity.? I only uploaded about 200 new images during our busy bridal show/booking month but 200 is more than enough to get me back on track!
As always, our spreadsheet of microstock earnings is here.
The January numbers were great!? In fact, this was our best month since I stopped uploading last July (other than the ridiculous ELs from SS in Nov (3 of them!)? The final total for all …

Total November Earnings: $445.31
First of all, you’ll notice a few changes in my earnings tables this month.? I am going to be tracking my NiltoMil project on Google Spreadsheets.?? NiltoMil Microstock Earnings
I found out something interesting though, related to my results.

Now you know that my main goal the last week or so has been “The Long Tail” of microstock.? If you look though, my “tail” breaks completely after the top 7 agencies. That’s not a tail – that’s a waste of time.? As of today, I’m no longer uploading to …

Well, the overall did not increase as much as I would have liked, mainly in part to having an amazing Shutterstock last month with one video sale AND one EL in the same month.? That was an extra $26 to catch up just to make the same money with the same DLs.? Best Month Ever on 7 of the 9 (Istock & Dreamstime with no BME but both up from last month.)
Overall feeling this month was fantastic on the slower sites but the words of the day are ?wasted opportunity.?? …
