Shutterstock 500 Microstock Derby (May, June, and July 2008)

Welcome to the first installment of the Shutterstock 500 Microstock Derby, a competition among former Lucky Oliver contributors to be the first to earn $500 on Shutterstock!

Today we will be tracking the performance of Lucid_Exposure, AnnOverboard, and P-Squared. Let’s have a round of applause!



AnnOverboard got off to a good start in May with 24 downloads and earnings of $6.14, beating P-Squared, and leaving Lucid_Exposure in the dust. However, in June Lucid_Exposure sped by his competitors with 259 downloads and $65 in earnings! With a small but lethal portfolio, AnnOverboard exhibited strong staying power with 151 downloads and $37.87 in earnings. P-squared carried the rear with 28 downloads and $12.00 in earnings. In July, Lucid_Exposure continued to hit the nitro, and came in first again with 417 downloads and $104.25 in earnings! It was BME for the two other competitors as well, with AnnOverboard coming in second with 179 downloads and $88.92 in earnings and P-Squared with 62 downloads and $31.75 in earnings.

Lucid Exposure is 34.5% towards the $500 finish line, AnnOverboard 17.78% there, and P-Squared 6.35%. At this point in the race, everything is up in the air. Will AnnOverboard pull ahead with a lean but mean portfolio? Or will Lucid_Exposure continue with strong and steady earnings? Will P-Squared come from behind and leapfrog them both? Stay tuned for next month’s update to the Shutterstock 500 Microstock Derby!
