This is my third full month and it seems that I need one more to get to $500 mark :-)

But you must be getting very close to that if you are just a month off getting to
$500. IS my math off?

Assuming that my numbers would still grow next month I should rich $500. Second month was 40% better than first but third is only 20% better than second.

Really bizzare that. You are so close to $500 a month at Shutterstock, yet you have only sold a total of 20 images on Dreamstime?

Good for you! Seems like the more you upload, the more you make, eh?

Closing in on my 2nd full month at SS and nowhere near reaching $500 and it will take many months to get there. I don't upload any of the best sellers from IS and have a hard time stomaching the little tiny prices. I feel more comfortable selling seasonal graphics and backgrounds than the regular photos. I do like the fact that certain photos kind of "catch on" and sell repeatedly long after they've been uploaded. For me, IS blows all the other sites away for total sales.

But he has 23 pages of photos on SS (that's likely 1300 photos vs 500) and the thumbs look pretty darn good.

Guys, I said 500 DLs/per month which is 500 * $0.25. I am close to $400 total per 3.5 month :-) If I got $500 per month I would be extremely happy :-)
