microstock Earning reports | previous report
Last 3 months of year 2011 were a bit better than recent trend.
I had a record result on Fotolia in October, so it’s now ahead of iStock, at the 3rd place.
Shutterstock still occupies first place.
Thus October 2011 became the Best Month Ever in terms of sales, since the beginning of my microstock career. It was about 11% better than the previous BME – February 2011.

The end of year was packed with multiple jobs and trips so my portfolio sizes did not change.
Total income chart below contains now CanStockPhoto and StockFresh earnings, although they aren’t included in monthly chart above and they have no impact on the red progress line. Also earnigs going to StockXpert account (from Thinkstock) aren’t listed here.
I’ll probably include them into monthly chart starting with January 2012.

PS. I forgot to update Zazzle earnings on this chart, next time
As we have a brand New Year, new resolutions has been made. Two most important are: remove all unnecessary tasks from the timeline and put whole power to processing graphics and photos.
My new task manager – Wunderlist – is really helpful. It’s very easy to use, fast and gives me the access from mobile phone or PC. So any thought and idea I have is now immediately put on the list, no more paper stickies.
Also I finally finished the Photo A Day project for 2011 and won’t start another at the moment, because I didn’t just took a picture and share it… Most of 365 photos was invented and processed, which took a lot of time. But I gained many new ideas, solutions and tens of own Lightroom filters.
I hope I’ll stay on course and wish You all the same.
A big chunk from SS seems really good even without uploading there for months !!
