I'm Back!!!!!

Hello! It's been awhile and for that I apologize. But, I have some new and exciting news! I started an Etsy page for some of my graphic design work. You can view it here: http://littlelilycreations.etsy.com. I also have a twitter account - LLilyCreations - Check me out!

In microstock news, I have to compile my statistics for the last few months. If I had to guess, I'd say that I've been pretty consistent sales-wise. But I definitely need to get on the ball and upload more pictures. So, check back in a few days if you're interested in how much I was able to earn by doing absolutely nothing. :-)

I'm nearing my first payout in SS and IS. $200 will be nice to have after taking pictures since October. I'm hoping to reach this milestone next month.

I hope everyone is doing good! Happy Mother's Day!

Swag Bucks

I hate promoting a lot of services, but this is one that I have personally had a great experience with...

I know a lot of people out there use Amazon.com to buy their photography equipment. I have been able to snag a couple of free Amazon gift certificates by using the Swag Bucks system. It's a search engine that randomly awards "points" when you search. If those points add up enough, you can turn them in for gift certificates and other prizes.

I just thought I would share. I do a lot of internet searches during the day, so at least now I have the chance to get something back.

Feb 2010 Stock Results

Okay, I have to admit that I didn't upload a single image this month (I know, shame on me). But it was my best month ever.



Unfortunately, I'm not going to be available later this month through April, so I will try and post an update when I can. I don't see me really uploading a lot over these next few months, but I do plan on getting back into it when things calm down a bit. Good luck to you all!

January Microstock Results

Here are a few highlights from January:

• First month at Shutterstock
• First uploading milestone (100 images) at CSP, 123RF, and SXP
• Best month ever overall in regards to sales!
• Still no sales (ever) at CSP.

The next few months are going to be pretty hectic for me so I'm hoping to upload 1-2 more shoots before March that will hopefully hold me over until I can get back into it again. I know I need to consistently upload to SS to keep up the momentum, so that is my motivation!

New Sessions Up!

I've added two sessions to my portfolio this week. The full sessions can be found at Stockxpert.

For those of you who are interested, here are the lucky 8 that were initially accepted:


The approval times have been WONDERFUL!! I was accepted to SS AND had my entire portfolio reviewed within 1 day.

Tonight

Tonight is going to be spent uploading most of my portfolio to Shutterstock so that I'm all caught up (their approval timeframe is amazing).

Also, I was approved at DepositPhotos.com so I may check that out a little later. Are any of you getting sales yet on DP? I know it's a new company and it will probably take some time to get buyers on board, but I was wondering if anyone was having any success.
