Ok, I?m making a few changes this month – I?m dropping my non-earners including Lucky Oliver (RIP), Canstock, Crestock and – likely next month – FeaturePics.
In their place, I have begun uploading to MostPhotos, Zymmetrical, and YayMicro.? Because I do not have enough data, I have left those 3 off this chart for now although it should be said that MostPhotos is very easy to upload to and I have over 500 images there already.
April was an absolutely fun month!? Increasing my income $160 in one month was thrilling especially …

In the beginning, there was nil.
Ok, that?s not exactly true.? My microstock journey began in 2004 – in fact April of 2004 if you ask IstockPhoto.? IStock was the first agency I signed up with following recommendations on a website I frequented at the time.
