IN GENERAL:
Even though the market is quite overload and has dramatically changed during the last 10 years it is still possible to earn money by selling photographs online. Unfortunately not only because of the lower prices the contributors are being paid less. Also the quality of the content decreased in a certain way. The whole business starts to be more and more about the high numbers which means quantity over quality. The most successful MICROSTOCKER have 100.000 files online or more. It is all about AUTOMATISATION, optimization and tweaking the algorithms to the very end.
But what’s to say this is how the MICROSTOCK universe appears today. As already mentioned above this blog post will give you a general overview.
