Reached my 100th sale. Must have happened over the weekend. I think it was this:

Thanks to all who purchased and helped me reach my goal. I'm so happy I think I'm floating.

I am very excited.

I just realized that the first day after these illustrations were approved, they sold. Its interesting how things work in this micro stock market.

I just wish I could see how and where they are used. After 86 sales thus far I have only been able to find one of my images in its intended use.

How can I find out where they are used? or does anybody know who is buying, in other words what companies or individuals are the primary client?

I often create my own images/illustrations and will begin loading them on Dreamstime in the following week. A photo is something that takes a minute or just a second to capture (if not setting up for it) but an illustration can take days, weeks if not months to design.

$5100 I just learned is the record for a SR-EL sale but that seems high for an image .

How should I price my illustrations? I'm not asking for a direct response. Just wondering how others feel about SR-EL pricing.

If you want to get a better idea of the type of illustration I want to offer please see the following link

Any thoughts on my approach? Thanks for the insight.

150 and counting, I think I'm finally on a roll!

As a college student I find myself exploring my options. I have been traveling around quite a bit and taking photos everywhere I go. I have been into photography since grade school, now I am exploring microstock.

I opened my account in late 2006 and uploaded a couple images. I hadn't really touched it until now. I am finally taking this seriously and have begun uploading at a steady pace.

I have sold some but my question is as follows: HAS ANYBODY BEEN SUCCESSFUL SELLING THE RIGHTS TO AN IMAGE using the SR-EL option? How common is it?

Thanks!
