So i thought i would post an update on how i am progressing. The last month has been extremely interesting indeed. It has been interesting for many reasons. Firstly those of you may be aware of my first payout, it was not from fotolia, shutterstock, dreamstime or istock....IT WAS FROM DEPOSITPHOTOS.COM!? Now you may not realise why that is strange. It is strange as this site has only been around for little over a year now. I have a payout due to their promotion programme and the fact that someone baught 40 of my images. It seems so strange to me that the site i put the least effort into provides me the most revenue....Oh well cant complain!
Fotolia- as you may know this is may favourite site, it is clear, easy to upload, rejections seem to be fair-ish and the forums are great. They help a lot and they are very friendly. So for my fotolian update:
- This time last month i had exactly 100 images in my portfolio and that was wonderful, such a milestone for an ameteur like myself. However over the first two weeks of my easter holiday i just uploaded so many and now my portfolio is exactly 241 images!!!! My acceptance rate skyrocketed, i seemed to upload batches of 25 and ALL, yes ALL were accepted. It made me so happy!
- From previous posts i have shown you some of my illustrations. My first one sold on fotolia:
Shutterstock- so shutterstock seem to be loving my new submissions, before i was averaging 32 sales per month, but this month I HAVE SO FAR 62 sales and counting.
THIS HAS BEEN MY BME!
Lastly guys a favour- please can you all follow me on twitter, i am trying to get some more portfolio exposure and more traffic to my site. I have had some positive feedback so far, and people seem to find it useful.
Thanks for reading
