Got a note from fotolia yesterday - sold another file!  'Twas this'n:



Think the liscence was for the XXL size, through a premium subscription.  My cut?  0.35 credits.  A credit's a dollar.  I've sold five images through Fotolia, for a grand total of (get this - where's the drumroll?) $1.85.

So, I keep submitting to microstock.  Clearly a volume game, and I'm not hitting the volumes necessary to make it a worthwhile investment in time.  Ah, well.  rolleyes

Makes me wonder how much fotolia is making on those pics of yours, Scott.  ::grumbling on your behalf::

Congrats on "selling" a picture...I can see why you don't think it's worth your while.  Thirty-five cents for a freakin' picture....Jeebus H. Cripes.
