Long Time No Blog...

I've been remiss in blogging lately due to a great increase in family and work responsibilities. Sorry about that. As you can tell from my Shuttertweet sidebar, sales are still proceeding apace from my Shutterstock account. Earnings are not what they used to be, since I have not uploaded anything for the last two and half months. But any kind of passive income is always welcome!

Above is a capture of my top files from Shutterstock right now.

A Personal Thank You To Ann Parry

I just wanted to thank photographer Ann Parry for making a most generous donation to Mastering Microstock. Thanks, Ann!

Microstock Photos Sold in September 2009

Earnings for August 2009

$77.80 on Shutterstock. Not the best, but I am happy that the $28 Enhanced Sale pushed me over the brink to payout at the 11th hour. You buyers are welcome buy as many Enhanced Licenses from me as you please. I got plenty!

$28 Enhanced Sale from Shutterstock

It was just a matter of time before I got one of these. $28 in one pop. I love it. If anyone wants to one-up the person who bought this enhanced license, go right ahead and follow the link.

$1000 in earnings achieved on Shutterstock!

This is the photo that did it, and put me at $1000.08 in earnings at Shutterstock. As an on-demand DL, it generated $2.48 all by itself.

My images first became available on the Shutterstock search engine on Tuesday, May 27, 2008. The $1000 milestone was achieved today, August 18, 2009.

That's 448 days, or 1 year, 2 months, and 22 days since I started contributing to Shutterstock. Naturally, I have seen several hundred dollars in earnings from other sites as well during the time.

Yee-haw! Thank you, buyers. Thank you, blog lurkers. Keep 'em coming!

$3.72 from $1000 Shutterstock Earnings Goal

Getting very close now.
