Milestones

Nice to see the number 1000 beside my recorded sales on Istock this morning!

And the 1000'th sale belongs to..... School Lessons.

As of today, this photo has sold 422 times on Istock.  That's pretty incredible stuff with one image making almost half of my sales.  It has slowed down considerably of late, but I think it will be a safe bet that it might be my first "red" flame sometime this year. 

Other photos that have sat dormant have enjoyed sales recently.  It seems that to make sales you just have to get the first one sometimes and then image popularity grows from there.  Unfortunately, with exclusives jumping the review cue in front of non-exclusives place in line we all have an immediate disadvantage and some of our best stuff is just never seen.

Now, if I could just improve my acceptance ratio with Istock and make a few more popular shots like this, I would be a very happy micro stocker!
