Question Microstock as a career - advice please.

I am looking for some advice about transitioning into microstock photography full time. I have an illness called fibromyalgia. Although it affects people in different ways, it has now progressed to the point that it?s impossible for me to work a traditional job. If you could imagine how your body would feel after running an iron-man triathlon without preparing, you know how I feel 24 hours a day! But I am not one to complain; there are people much worse off.

I have decent equipment and believe that I am a good photographer. I live in an amazing area with plenty of subjects to photograph and I have a lot of time to spend on promotion. But I cannot keep a regular schedule so wedding and studio photography is out of the question.

Is it feasible to make microstock photography a full time career? If so, what suggestions can you make. Any replies would be appreciated on this thread or via private message.

Thank you very much.
