Ive searched the forum and I havent found much info on this, but what if any sites are you selling your photo / images on?

I'm thinking about a little extra $$$ to fund my habit!

I submit to
Shutter stock Just got my first paycheck... ~$100 towards my Sigma 70-200

Also Dreamstime

and http://www.istockphoto.com

I get referals for the first two (just so people know)

Shutterstock is my favourite... great people

How long did it take you to accure $100. Do they give feedback on which of your photos were downloaded? Do you retain copyright over the image?

I joined in march
Yep, you know exactly what is going on...

Absolutely, but downloaders are granted a limited royalty free licence to your images

unless you work very hard you will not make big bucks out of these microstock sites.. I do it for fun and any money I make is a bonus... I dont change my shooting style much, just upload images I like

One thing I like is that my images are doing something instead of sitting on my hard-drive

Oh yeah... with Shutter stock make sure you submit your best ones first (the first ones are a test... your need 70% acceptance for your first batch....)
