It's possible to earn $100 selling images on shutterstock per month. I earn approximately $30.

Of course it is. There are a lot of variables that you will have to address to reach this very obtainable goal:

1. What type of images do you submit (i.e., Travel, still life, food)
2. Do you do holiday images
3. How often do you submit
4. Good Key wording and descriptions

So for example- say you doing only travel images of sea shores. They lack a solid commercial value compared to holiday images so don't expect to make a lot of money. If you truly want $$ than you need to hit the high commercial areas (health, education, holidays, business).

Sure.  Do 3.33 times what you�re doing now.

... or 3.33 times better...

final comment(s) from me---

Many 'Artists' don't understand the buyers needs - heck, they don't even understand why they are taking the photos in the first place. Before you shoot answer why first...

Best piece of advise I've read in a long while.

It is possible if you upload 20,000+ images

Easily.  Its all about quantity.  If you have 1000-1250 or so images id guess you'll turn over $100 a month or so. 

The "old" rule of thumb used to be an image will earn about $1 per year.  So for $100 a month you'd need about 1200.  The $ per image is dropping on SS a lot due to saturation so its likely more than that.

That figure varies vastly though depending on the portfolios quality.

My thoughts exactly, I comment on very few threads, and don't mind adding a few tongue in cheek comments here and there. It cracks me up to see how earnest people get.

well if your portfolio is like that of DUMB, yes you need 20000 files to earn 100 dollar. i agree with you.

One of the all time best posts ever.

I�ve got just bellow 2.000 pictures in shutterstock now. I earn aprox $40 dollars a month. I don�t think I have a stellar portfolio, but its not terrible either.
I�d say the $1/year rule applies to all of the agencies together. I confess I am a bit bellow that, earning around $0,75 for the for an average of 1500 pictures at all agencies together.
Don�t know if I�ll continue to increase my portfolio, to be honest. Too much work for little payback.
