A choice finally made

Congratulations!

Out with the old and in with the new!!!  Congrats!!  Maybe all of the old timers should start new accounts and watch them flourish and have something happy to wake up to everymorning.....  forgert about the illusion of what is to come when you put all of your eggs in one basket....  They could be hobbists and Istock could be perfect for the hobbiest!!!  Maybe that is the new focus to get more diverse content.  Sounds brialliant to me.  


Of course I am NOT in any way suggesting any one already here using your own name to try to open a second account.  Do it with your little brother....bonding time!!!


Remember how much fun it was!!!  How exciting everymorning was like Christmas everyday!!

All microstock eggs in one basket, other types of eggs in other baskets. I make no apologies for microstock being only a profitable hobby for me. My best selling images have come from "work for hire" shoots where I have permission to use the images here. I have made my choice, I have explained my choice. If istock goes belly up tomorrow my life will go on. In the meantime I will reap the benefits that being exclusive here will give me over worrying about my microstock eggs being in multiple baskets.

Congratulations on finding an income model that suits you. You do not need to apologise for having 3 income streams (RM, commissions and RF). Or call microstock a hobby. Best wishes!

Congratulations! Often just making the decision is the hardest part. One thing iStock does well is it gives you a platform, a showcase for your images, a reason to take them in the first place. For tiny players (like me!) income is secondary.  Recognition that your images are actually worth buying is reward enough. Of course everyones reasons are different, it's whats right for you that matters. Good luck!
