I finally reached payout at CS. 14 months.

Yayy! Congrats :P I finally reached my second (after a year and 5 months) only because they lowered the thing to $50. It's one of those reaaaallly slow sale sites that is still worth uploading to, it's just more of a long-term investment. They get my uploads when I'm extremely bored and I don't feel like keywording new images for my better sites.

I'm a whoppin' 70 cents away myself, also after 14 months. I quit uploading about six months ago, and am now in the processing of adding the backlog now that they have FTP. Not sure why I'm bothering though!

I'm almost to first first payout, just a couple of more dollars. I've also started uploading to them again, mainly because I like the keyword suggester. It will usually suggest some I haven't thought about.

Because unlike the majority of us you are now doing microstock to earn your sole income and every little bit helps if you've got the time to upload them.

Amen. I'd be uploading to sites that even made me $100 a year, let alone $100 a week. Why not? $100 a year still divides out to $8.33 /month

True, Gracey! LOL And I'm going to have a huge party here at TM when I hit my first payout with CSP!!! I'm only 20 cents away now! Woohoo!!!

...feeling quite pathetic...

Woohoo!!! It finally happened!!! I made my payout today...and not only that, I also had seven sales today!!!

Time to celebrate! Hopefully I don't have to wait another 14 months for the next payout. ;-)

I had one payout about a year ago with CS and am now coming up to my second. One thing I have noticed though is that in May I've had an increase in downloads. Still nothing worth getting too excited about but if it continues then it means I could get 3 or 4 payouts per year.

Probably partially due to the fact that they had a sale in May... I do get regular payouts with them and their uploading has improved a lot so I just keep uploading if I have spare time left. They are doing better though as my payouts come quicker in a row (probably once every 3 months at the moment at the 50 dollar-rate)
