OK. I have about 10 pictures on iStock.com right now. I have had a few uploads, and of course, the money is little. I know as I get more uploaded, then I will have a slightly larger sum of money trickle in each month. However, is it worth it? Or is it more worth it to go to a macro site? What exactly can they do with these cheap downloads? Do they get the same permission that they would with macro, or is it different? I really would like to know if I am wasting my time and not getting paid enough. If the licenses are the same, then why would anyone do micro?

Big can o' worms.
Short answer: only you can decide that. Personally, I'm getting out of micro, but I can't say it hasn't been worth it.

| you have a great camera why not try a better agency's first. Getty, Jupiter, Master File, Supper Stock. Make more per sale. Just my 2 cents |

Are those micro or macro?

Should've saved your money. That could've bought you a picture on iStock.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
There are people out there who will pay money for manage rights photos. It's nice getting paid $200 for a limited run photo instead of giving images away for pennies.
Of course, I'm hoping people will stay on micro sites otherwise, I'll have more competition. |

It's WELL worth it to me - but not for the reason you think.
I do a lot of graphic design, and iStock is my best resource. Where else could I get so much great work for SO CHEAP! Hate to say it, but it's so true. That is EXACTLY why I never got into micro. |
