My Dreamstime is doing ok. I've seen ads in Photoshop magazines from them. Finally have some downloads from Canstock.
Shutterstock, Fotolia, are my current best.

how much can you make? i know it depends on how many photos you put on there, but roughly?
$5/month?
$25/month?
$250/month?
i've never tried it, so i don't know |

you can make roughly $1 per image per month. so if you have 100 images that's about $100 a month.
don't waste your time at dreamstime. i've made $5 in two months |

Check my blog for my Averages...
//pdtnc.wordpress.com/tag/photography/stock-images/
You'll see a kind of trend...
The leader board goes like this:
Shutterstock
iStockphoto
Dreamstime
Fotolia
Stockxpert
with BigStockPhoto, 123RF & CanstockPhoto lagging behind... though BSP has come on a bit in recent months.

i would say that dreamstime is by far worth it. they are currently my best money earner. Canstock has fairly slow sales, but allright.
I think $1/month is a little optimistic, however it also depends very much on the type of images you submit.

dreamstime is worth it, have uploaded the first 30 images (29 accepted) last week and already 4 downloads ($2). Fotolia is next best.

I agree with what has been said. Dreamstime is worth it. Fotolia is very much worth it for me too. For me, my top 4 are:
ShutterStock
Fotolia
Dreamstime
iStock
My numbers are biased in part by referral referral revenue. The top 3 all pay referral fees. iStock does not.

| It seems to me that whether an image gets rejected or accepted depends on the person evaluating the image. I will take one photo and it will get accepted, but take another with the exact same lighting, speed, f stop....everything, and it will get rejected based on poor lighting. Becomes very frustrating!! |

I make good sales at dreamstime, most of my pics are accepted there ( about 90 %).
shutterstock is much better, i have only a third of dreamstimes images online, but earn twice as much. They accept about 70 % of my images.
At fotolia again, I have twice as much images online, but the earnings are only about 50 % higher. They accept more than 95%...
If you want exact numbers, PM me.
