September 2017 was my second best month ever ($95.02). I was second after February 2017 ($104.46), my only 3 numbers earning so far. I have 738 pictures in my Shutterstock portfolio.
What made this September nice was 4 "Single and Other" download.

These two elephant pictures were sold for $5 each.

and

This other elephant picture was sold for $28.19

And last but not least, this image was sold for $31.25

I hoped October was the same but sell dropped to $51.82, which is still not bad, in my opinion and in my experience.

So anyway, as I mentioned before, I took mainly wildlife photos. People says it is not the best microstock subect but it is for you to find out if you want to jump into microstock. I have 738 images in my portfolio. I do not know if $50 a month is normal for a portfolio of such size (some photographers have 1000s of picture in their portfolios at Shutterstock).

I did not upload any photo this month (November 2017) and I can see that sell is still dropping but I am busy. Maybe next year I will upload more!

As usual, If you want to sell your pictures and videos online and to give microstock a try, then I recommende Shutterstock. The registration is very straight forward and you can fill it here. It is free, and quick, nothing to lose, except your time ;-)
Another option that I tried and I managed to sell few pictures is Fotolia. If you want to register at Fotolia then click here
I tried Dreamstime as well but it was a disaster. However, who never know maybe Dreamstime is the one for you. If you want to give Dreamstime a try then you can register here

May the camera be with you!
