How much can you make with microstock sites?
laryn — Fri, 11/06/2009 - 08:14

Most people who are considering whether or not to upload to microstock sites are curious how much money can be made by doing so. (There are other reasons, too, but this is a biggie). The short answer is that it depends on how much time and energy you put into it, and it depends on the quality of your images. The top earners can make hundreds of dollars per day, but most people will not achieve that. For an overview of my experience, see below. I update the stats about once every month or two so you can get a sense of what I have earned -- without devoting a ton of time to it, to be honest.

Sell Vector Images at Shutterstock, Dreamstime, iStock

Shutterstock, Dreamstime, and iStock allow you to sell your vector illustrations on their site in the same manner as the digital photography. This means you can create imagery in Adobe Illustrator, Freehand, Xara Xtreme, or Inkscape (free download). You earn money for every download from their subscriber base, with additional incentives for referring buyers or sellers to the site.
This sample image is one of my most popular vector images on Shutterstock, from a series on road signs I made. I drew it in Illustrator and saved it as an EPS.
