Judging by reports in the forums and my own stats things are starting to happen at Photoshelter. In the past few weeks the number of “I made a sale” post on the forum has increased dramatically. Other reports (and my own stats) show a good uptick in lightbox adds as well.
I can’t imagine how hard it must be to startup a stock agency, kudos to the PhotoShelter team for all there hard work, looks like it is starting to pay off.

So nothing to show for Q1 as far as earnings. I am still basically exclusive at PhotoShelter (I have like 5 images on Dreamstime) and my portfolio is up to 73 images but I have not really be shooting much with only stock in mind. I have some good ideas I want to shoot and hopefully can get some time to shoot them in the next couple of months.
Work flow I have pretty much nailed at this point. PhotoShelter’s Aperture plugin rocks! I can go from import to upload really quickly. What I really need is key wording help. I was browsing around iStock the other day and see images with like 30-40 keywords, most of mine end up in the 10-20 range. Not sure what resources I can find to help with that though. Any ideas on key wording would be greatly appreciated.
