Hey there!

A series of unfortunate events just dropped out of nowhere into my life, the most crucial ones being me losing my job and a member of my family needing some important and expensive medications.
And, in my country, finding another job is close to impossible because of the pandemic.

If I can't earn anything the next few months, I will literaly not be able to survive.

So, after some days filled with panic and suicidal thoughts, I started looking for ways to earn money on the internet, I picked up an Illustrator course and started learning to make flyers/business cards... With the intention of uploading them to all microstock websites.

But after reading this forum, it was really depressing to learn about the effect of the pandemic on the market, and the SS changes.

So, I just want to ask, if I work all day long, and produce 100 vectors a day, can I expect to make ateast 500$ a month? Just the time to find a job.

Thank you!

Depending on your country you can make a living.

Not with 100 vector a day though. There is no way for one person to produce that many of a high enough quality to get sales. More like with 1 or 2 very high quality consistently every day.
Wish you the best of luck, and don't forget

Things may be very dark now, but things always change.

As you have seen, your $500 a month might mean you require 5000 downloads. No matter how good you are, it is going to take quite some time to create enough images to make that even theoretically possible.

Obviously I don�t know where you are and what the position is with your local printshops but you might consider contacting them to see if they have a need for custom design for any of their customers or if it is something they might think about offering. Jobs may be few and far between but each one would equate to an awful lot of stock image downloads.
