Yes!  Things are definitely picking up here at N2M!  It feels great to be doing this job and working hard to make the income I’ve always wanted from it!
July and August were a time of transition.  If you remember, I made $790 and BME in March.  Since then, I’ve  moved out of my house, moved to Maine, restarted my wedding & portrait business AND tried to do stock full time.  Something had to give and as always it was stock.  It plummeted to the point where I made 600 then …

Very late, I know.? I went to Maine for two weeks near the end of July and was basically non-existent on the ‘net for that time!? Sorry.
July 2009 results
As always the fastest and easiest way to see stats is on the spreadsheet using the above link.? However, I’ll detail a bit of my month in here as well.
July total was $543.49 which was almost up $100 from June ($88!).? I’ll take that result.? However, only DT was a BME.? Shutterstock accounted for a lot of the leap with a gain …

Total Earning: $555.49
So April was both a good month and a bad month, depending on your point of view.?? The good news is that my earnings rose $5 even with a sizable drop from SS, IS, and FT.? Last month those three combined for $340 while this month just $289.? However, Dreamstime recovered up $13 and Canstock and Bigstock had a BME.
My gallery size stayed very near the same numbers as March as SS went up 27, DT 26 and SXP 72.? So that is mainly the bad news.

Yes!? My goal was to hit $500 for only the third month ever (first since my BME last July) and I did it!
Full earnings spreadsheet is here.
With February’s income totaled, I have reached $508.89
BME: IStock, Fotolia, CanStock (DT $1.10 off)

Shutterstock went up $45 this month, a decent start but not where I want to be.? I expect Shutterstock to be well into the $300s for March.? I am starting to gain traction there again so I hope to regain my momentum.
Dreamstime nearly hit a? BME but failed by $1.10 …

So here are those delayed results – July was a BME! Crazily, Dreamstime was amazingly good. 123RF also had a BME. Not bad for as little work as I did. August is worse for my schedule. I can?t WAIT until October.

Simple and to the point this month, like my month of work.
Overall gallery increased from 5777 to 9052 but that was mostly the result of adding YayMicro and 1100 images as well as pending May images finally being reviewed.
Overall income increased to a record $524.84 and 5 agencies had a Best Month Ever despite me doing basically no work.? Not a bad month, but I hope to dramatically improve it in July.? That was disappointing.
