Microstock Design & Photography

This website is dedicated to the people out there who wants to be their own boss. Through various channels, you can build up a business which can sustain you, depending on which country you are living in. If you live in a 3rd world country, then this can easily become your main source of income. But if you live in a first world country, then this can only be a supplementary income from your hobby. At the end of the day, how successful you are depends on you. Some people earn US$100 - US$500 a month but there are others who earn up to US$10,000 or more a month. You can only expect to earn a regular income when you have at least 800 photos/vectors in your portfolio. Its all about quality and quantity.
