One small piece at a time
Did you notice the new link at the top? For a bit more than a year, I was using a "regular" agency to see if I could make some equipment money with this hobby of mine. It didn't work out.
To put it simply, contrary to what some may say a 3.5 MP camera simply doesn't cut it in the stock photography world. On the other hand a new market has opened up. Microstocks will sell your images for about a dollar and they count on volume to make it worth your time. For the past five weeks, I have submitted about one hundred images to three of them, Dreamstime, Shutterstock and iStockPhoto.
So, does it work? In the past 5 weeks I have sold 184 images for $58. Not bad but there is a catch. Each company will only send you a check for amounts greater than $75-100. At this rate I'd have to wait for another 2-3 months before I'm sure.
It also means that, if you're interested in a full size file that looks great on a 16 x 20 print, you can get it for a measly $3.
