June 2011 was a fantastic month here at NiltoMil.  Actually, it was my second best month ever.  Now, for new readers – when I say ever, I joined stock agencies in 2006.  So I’m at about 55 months and though I didn’t really begin stock work until early 2008 (39 months ago) to have my second highest earning month ever is pretty fabulous.
The total for the month, though not another $1k month like February, was $847.04
Highlights for the month include:

BME at 123RF for the 2nd time in 3 months. For …

This month should be the start of summer slowdown but without really doing a lot of new work, I’m up. I don’t know why, really.

Finally! I reached the “final” milestone at Shutterstock for raises. $10,000 all-time earnings. Or as someone said, 1% of my goal.

Oh, I have wanted to post this post for half the month now! Call me gleeful and you’re be accurate.

Just a quick note, mainly for my own historical records. I passed my best month ever on Friday.  That’s a best MONTH in only 12 days with 16 left this month. I am already at $844.10 which is nearly $55 over my previous BME.  With Shutterstock and Dreamstime doing very well this month and Bigstock, 123 and Istock picking up just a little and even sites like GraphicLeftovers and 3dStudio just destroying all expectations, I’m going to FLY past $1000 this month.  It will be (obviously) the first time I’ve …

For those of you who still read on the site (and it’s a lot of you, surprisingly!) I’ve redone the look of Niltomil.  I am making many more changes but wanted to get the site back online as soon as possible.  The Agencies page has been updated and fixed. I will also be fixing the Income Results page as well as back-posting several old monthly earnings post including October 2010.  I’ll have a full list of those posts once they’re all done.
The focus of NiltoMil is returning to earnings, tricks, …

I have had a few comments and emails that my earnings post is missing – I know, sorry!  It does only take a few minutes to write up but I’m starting my ENTIRE LIFE over, remember!  No slack?  I understand.  Without further ado, results.
For September, 2010 my microstock income was $671.45.  This was down from $692.76 in August.   The drop came from Dreamstime (-20), 123RF (-15), and a few other random places.  IStock had a BME (despite the news).  Mostly buyers, though.  I didn’t sell anymore than usual but referred …

So I said I’d be working to catch up and I am.  Here are my results in straight income for the past 6 months:
$433.03
$539.39
$789.84
$640.94
$515.82
$517.88
After the $790 month (a bme) things got crazy here at home.  That’s when I decided that I do want to pursue micro.  In the few months since everything has been a blur of preparation for Tuesday (when I move!).  So yes, earnings decreased again but I saw a lot of hope in March.  March gave me the idea to do some portfolio sized projecting.
In March Fotolia …
