Default First sale with PHOTOSHELTER!!!!

Could not believe it... I only have 13 pictures online with them, and within 2 months got my 1st sale:

Rights Managed , commission 70%, gross $263.00 net $184.10
License: United States, Editorial / Publishing, Book.Retail, 1/4 Page, Up to 10,000

Not bad for a start

And on top of that 6 sales at Alamy last month...
From now on I'm going to focus on Macro full time, and keep left over and vectors for micros.

Time to move to the next level! Bye bye micros

Very impressive... and encouraging... I like Photoshelter... to me there the only site that wants to challenge the Alamy model. (competition is always good in my books)

Finally a sale by somebody that could tell us first hand... Well, let΄s go and upload again.

Glad to see you will follow this path too... I did a few months ago and I couldnt be more happy.

Congratulations. That proves, once more, that customers like oversaturated photos.

I agree vectors and graphics are best for microstock, while you can currently have better results with photography at traditional agencies.
