Shutterstock is terrific. If it wasn't for them, I don't know if I'd be paying as much attention to the whole microstock business. This May I ended up posting a lot more files - but apparently I'm terribly out of touch with what sells these days...so I'm going to have to keep stretching that creative muscle and see what I can do for the month of June.
Istockphoto made quite a lot of money for quite some time...but they changed their licensing payment plan to favor exclusive contributors...and the downloads have slowed to a crawl. One good thing about the company is that they approve the files in record time. When I started three years ago it took almost a week to get approved, and now it's within hours. Too bad none of the files get downloaded.
The rest of the sites had small boosts this month. I'd like to think that'll continue...but the summer months are very slow...so we'll see how it goes.
