Royalty Free Stock Report
Posted on: June 27, 2006
So then….
I’ve been keeping track of my sales of stock images with a little spread sheet, working out the averages etc
Here’s my list of stock sites with the average payments per image sold:
Its interesting to see how they perform against each other even if some of them have had very little sales, iStockphoto has been my longest running so takes the biggest slice of the pie below, followed by Shutterstock my shortest running!!
In 8 days Shutterstock made the same as iStockphoto made in 3 or 4 Months from starting submitting stock, though you have to realise that you’ll only ever get 25c per image from Shutterstock
Dreamstime, currently comes in 3rd place followed closely by Fotolia, then comes Stockxpert (the highest average payout per image!). CanStockPhoto and BigStockPhoto are crawling along behind.

Scratches Grunge Brush Set 01
Posted on: June 11, 2006
OK, here’s a quicky set, just 6 brushes to stamp scratches over your images with, sharp edged so its best to have the image size smaller than the brush :p Available at Rapidshare.de to save my bandwidth limit. If you download these, please leave a comment to let me know, thanks
The Full size scratches images set are available at stockxpert
Website back online
Posted on: June 8, 2006
I’ve culled the downloads though, so expect things to be un-available when you click, I’ve just left the smaller files sizes online… I’m going to have to look into hosting the files somewhere else or get some better featured hosting.
we’ll see, I’m not sure I can justify spending my own money on giving away free stuff!!!!
