Microstock Photography results for August 2008
Not a bad month considering. I was lucky with a couple of Extended licenses at Shutterstock and Fotolia , otherwise it could have been a disaster. Shutterstock is trending down and I dont think this is just me. My referrees are down about 50% this month on the average for 2008. Other sites are ticking along nicely but slowly. I really need to start editing photos and getting them online.
Below are percentages for the month to show how I have been going:
26% shutterstock
10% dreamtime
14% Fotolia
17% istockphoto
5% bigstockphoto
9% 123RF
19% StockXpert
0% Featurepics
I have decided I am not doing this Blog proud. I am not keeping up with market news. If you want news about the microstock industry, the best source is on Lee Torrens Blog who is making a very good job of publicising what is happening in the Microstock world. I will keep publishing my monthly results but my main focus will be on my personal blog and to get through the 10,000 photos I took on my last holiday (while keeping my day job). So add my personal blog to your RSS feed - http://cj-photography.blogspot.com/- and have a look at Lee’s for Microstock news.
