Well, it took me 12 days, but I broke $100. Reminds me of iStock in 2005. Just Fyi...

Took 7 days for the next $100. So, things are going ok, I think.

Good to hear, SS rocks with sales. I would love to rise my portfolio from 0 to 1130 also in one month

Amazing.

How many images of your port are you planning on submitting to SS? And what is your cut off production year? Just out of interest.

I don't know. I'm still going through stuff from 2006!

Wow, so at least another 4 years to add is my guess. Man, that is going to rock. I am happy you found a new outlet to get you an additional significant income.

One question, Sean.

The annoy factor?:

Compared, does ss not feel smoother, more contributer friendly, less alien, more straight foreward and more decent.
Do you have that heavy feeling of what is the next thing they can invent that can bother me? or benefit on me, kind of feeling?
Like coming out of a dungeon maze (complete with skeletons and monsters) and into a land with the rule of law.

just a question, I might express myself badly.
but can you recognize any of it?

I would say, that is unwise.
Do the opposite.
Take the newest and best first, get them up and earning. Find out the trends and then leave those out that are not worth their upload time.
It also has to do with how you present your work. You have two pages: Newest first, how the customers sees that, and the most popular. All the other pages are burried, and is only fill for the search machine.
Make sure you get a grip in the customers at once, and dont leave them to wade trough old pictures.

Your 2006 is better than my 2013 stuff! I will be in major trouble once you start uploading your newest stuff

I may have misunderstood, but I thought Sean was putting his newest and best on Stocksy. I was under the impression his intent was to put the leftovers on subscription sites.

Everything I've uploaded has been selling so far. Pretty much.

impressive numbers! 19 days and 200$! over 300$ on the 1st month is quite something... and easily 500-600$ on February

looks like Sean is taking gbalex sales, oooh!

Goofy · « **Reply #162 on:** January 30, 2014, 17:04 »

Now I know why my sales have tanked this week

He should get the first significant raise in a couple more weeks too!

Ron · « **Reply #164 on:** January 30, 2014, 17:10 »

I am not shooting any subjects same as Sean, so it wont have a great effect on my sales, if any. But his images will surely take some sales from some people. He sure hit the ground running. Dang.

Are you three Luis. We produce different content, however if someone was going to take my sales; I can not think of anyone I would rather see receive them. Sean showed real integrity during the IS debacle and he has worked for every sale and more that he will receive on SS.

Lets just hope that the new comer bump will last for more than a few years.

I could not agree more. I am delighted, but not surprised, to hear Sean's doing well on Shutterstock. Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy. However I do hope he leaves me some sales

When your hunky everyman husband starts modeling for Sean, you're in trouble

Otherwise I expect you two can happily share the wealth on SS!
