Congrats Forgis. You give us a lot of valuable information.

I am not sure if I ever reach the 75 mark never mind the 2000. For me it is going very slowly. I try hard but I could not make it. I do not know the problem.

Well done once again

You deserve no less, my friend. You're an inspiration to all of us, and a formidable teacher as well. Thanks!

Forgiss, congratulations on your first $2000 :) you seem to have all your sales figures very well organised. I haven't got a clue how long it took me for the first 500 I suppose a couple of months, but I do know that currently I reach $500 every 5 days :)


Bugger!!!

$100 per day? my Hero! Ok, I'm just about $80 behind you... I think I will start chasing you down ;-D and from there, Lise Gagne (@ $600plus per day) and world domination!!! [evil laughter]Mohahahahaha!!!!! [/evil laughter]

Woooooooooot!!!!!! $600 per day? are you totally sure about that? for that you would need 1000 daily downloads at IS, does she get them?
My god! now that is my goal for 2006 for sure :)

I like the photos you have been taking, you know how to take models very well.

I make that $36,500 per annum. Well done to both you and PJ on your well deserved success. Try telling it to the Alamy crowd and they won't believe you.

Indeed Andres and co show that with time and effort you can make a decent living at microstock! I am sure your microstock earnings helped with a certain recent purchase Andres ;)

I think you have a portfolio here of around 1,800 images (quick check!). Your average per image earnings from all your micros sites are therefore around $20.00, which is very good indeed, particularly if your portfolios elsewhere are smaller than here.

Does that sound about right?
