Here are my latest numbers.
If you have been following along you will see that my acceptance rate is falling on a few sites. I am trying to figure out who likes what and when.
You will also see a new column RTI… for return per image… the amount I make averaged over all the images at that site.
As you can see, the best site for me, right now, is Shutter Stock. You can also see it has one of the lowest acceptance rates.
I stock is next…but the mess that is happening at iStock right now makes me question as to my future there. I will post more on that in the near future.
This has been an interesting experience, and I think I will continue for a while… it is rather addictive.
