This week I had my first bit of success (and also a bit of a set back) in the travel photo challenge. The good news first– I sold a print (thank you to my biggest fan!). I also made my first royalties on stock photo!
A few months ago I signed up for Dreamstime, an online microstock photo agency, and posted a few pictures. For a few weeks I diligently checked to see if anyone had viewed or downloaded my pictures. Nothing happened, so I somewhat forgot about it until this week when I logged in to my account for the first time in months and saw a message that I had earnings of $0.70. I haven’t been this excited about $0.70 since I was five years old. It is only pennies, but that is the name of the blog!
Now for the set back– I accidentally overwrote my blog data trying to install a photo gallery on a different domain (whoops). I was able to restore some of the old posts from a backup file (note to self– back up the blog more often).
Total raised so far: $14.94
