Although I started on Dreamstime and Fotolia in 2006, 2007 really started when I joined other sites and began contributing to Shutterstock and Istock between February and late March 2007.  This is a perfect time to look back at my topsellers.  I wasn't too surprized that photos taken inside a high school were the best performers overall, but I was surprised that different photos sold better on different sites.

Dreamstime:  47 downloads  (Approaching level IV status)


Shutterstock:  295 downloads


Istock:  378 downloads



I joined StockXpert late in the year.  They unforunately don't like the map in my classroom series, so this is my bestseller there:

StockXpert:  13 downloads (and today had an extended license sale).



This nature photo has enjoyed about 400 individual sales across the various sites (including approximately 20 sales in 2006) and over Christmas I found it a Walmart shelf on a fleece blanket.



It will be interesting to see if the classroom photos can maintain momentum through a second year.  I do predict though, that my nature and agricultural photographs will enjoy a longer, slower paced life.


I am very pleased with my results from 2007.  Hopefully I can contribute on a more regular basis in 2008.
