As you can see, I’ve been very busy uploading my steadily growing portfolio to most of the stock photo sites. I’ve achieved an average 62% acceptance rate with some of the newer sites accepting as much as 88% and Shutterstock being the most critical at a stingy 30%. Performance was pretty good at istock last month, my second best month to date (although somewhat disappointing in terms of growth). Shutterstock was very interesting last month in that my earnings and downloads tapered off considerably as the month went on (because of the Shutterstock best match algorithm that places new images high in search rankings and then ages them lower and lower as time goes bye). Overall earnings are up 47% to $84 over my previous high of $57 back in November of last year.

I’ll be busy in the studio at home this month to try and get to my conservative goal of $100 for March!
