Welcome back to the June 2021 detailed monthly report during these increasingly strange and desperate times!

In addition to my monthly earnings, I discuss my first experience with capturing and uploading drone footage.

Thanks Alex, great info as always!

A normal month for me, but I'm at amateur level.

Btw, Does Steve no longer post his monthly report here? I'd be interested to know how he did in June.

Looking at yours numbers, I think it's not worth investing in equipment for microstock . For me last month (June) I made profit on image stock sites around $ 40. That earning include Adobe Stock, 123Rf, Dreamstime, Alamy, FAA, Deposit Photos, Pond5 and Istock. I was banned from Shitterstock .. Thank God I have other jobs, because if I only have microstock, I would be lost! .

Absolutely not worth investing in equipment for microstock, at most a gorilla-pod lol

Purpose of the drone will eventually (once I have a license, etc) be to do real estate / property recording for clients, which should earn substantially more than microstock earnings!

As an aside, here in Canada drones are big business in agriculture; measuring crop yields, watering patterns, infestations, etc... Might be another avenue to pitch.

Steve is still around - he doesn't come to this forum very often! Shows how slow the business is!
