Best day ever on Dreamstime     posted on 13th of may, 2011

The 11th May 2011 was my best day for sales since I joined DT.

I made a total of $73.68 from 16 sales with 2290 images on sale. This figure was helped by two PE-L extended license sales of $18.65 each.

Yesterday (12th) day I made another PE-L sale of $20.37 which, so far, is the largest amount I have earned from a single sale on DT. This helped yesterdays total to another good amount of $49.61

As of today (13th May 2011) I have 4 images at level five, 3 at level four, 36 at level three, 110 at level two, 940 at level one and 1197 at level zero.

My daily sales figures seem to rise with the more high level images I have. Producing images that will sell over and over again and so climb up the levels, is the best way to get high sales values and a reasonable income from microstock.


This is my best selling image. To date it has sold 85 times and made $271.52

This level 3 image is the one that made a sale of $20.37

These are the two images that sold for $18.65 each. The first is a level 3, the second a level 4.

This is an example of a good stock image that so far has never made a sale. But I'm sure it will.

Way to go, Steve. That is great news, very encouraging, and
likely an inspiration for all DT photographers. It's not
surprising to me, however, because your work is exceptional
and deserves every success it gets!!!!

I was a professional Industrial / Commercial photographer for over 25 years, before retiring from commissioned work to become a full-time 'Stock' Photographer. Since 2005 I have earned my entire six figure annual income from shooting 'Stock' images. The majority of my work is available through mainstream Stock Agencies - I have over 27,500 images on sale and submit to the following agencies:

Image Bank - BrandX - Stone - Photodisc - Digital Vision - Riser - Stockbyte - Creatas - Foodpix - Photoshot - Alamy - Science Photo Library - Dreamstime
Sales of DT images account for about 5% of my total turnover.

Well over half of my work is now Travel or Wildlife Photography.
I'm a 'travelaholic' and have so far visited 84 countries & territories including both the Arctic and Antarctica.

MY TRAVEL PLANS FOR 2012 & 2013:
