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.

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.?? …

When I announced my earnings last month, I heard a lot of feedback about my IStock performance and how it should be MUCH MUCH better.? I agree, but I still can?t get them to accept any of my images!? I have 700+ images on multiple sites.? I have 89 on IStock and have submitted 40 this month.? They took 8.? I?ve done my part for the last 3 weeks – 60 submissions (MAXED OUT) and 21 new images online.? That basically stinks.? It de-motivates me.
So I?m asking for help.? I …

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 …

So, you?re using Image Manager to upload to IStock?
1) Shoot yourself in the head because it?s less painful.
2) Go to http://www.deepmeta.com and download the program.
There?s a reason I hated uploading to Istock – it was plain & simple a pain in the butt.? With a 20 per?whatever?limit, you never had a good way to know when to submit more, how many slots you had free, etc.
Deep Meta changes a LOT about the way IStock will work for me.? I can simple add images (not simple in IM – you had …

March was an all around Best Month EVER. Shutterstock was BME and double last month?s sales on 94 new images. Dreamstime was almost 4x my BME. The new sites got into the act late in the month – Crestock, SXP, LO and FotoMind all pulled their first sales. Slightly down month on Bigstock and 123RF.
