Just wondering if any of you are making some extra cash on iStock or if it's a big waste of fucking time?
I submitted a bunch of snowboard/mountain pictures a while back but they said they wanted to see more variety.

I pretty sure that a QBNer in the past, post a pic of his girlfriend from a istockphoto...

- They don't pay out till its over $100 tho. This is a year or so of earnings.neferiu
- I think if i took the time to get more shit in there, the chances of that increasing are good...neferiu
- but why spend hours on something that may return another $50 compared to 1 job that could pay the bills.neferiu
- i just assume you throw a bunch of shit on there and watch and wait. it's just sitting on my computer anyways.cbass99
- Well that's the thing - they dont take just 'shit'... so you do have to spend some time... tho maybe its different for photos.neferiu

I have about 25 images on there. Most of them I uploaded over 3 years ago now.
I've probably made around $150 from them total. I had a few nice skyline shots of NYC and SF Golden Gate Bridge that were real money makers, but most of the rest have only 1 or 2 downloads.
- upload them to cutcaster.com. i'd love to help you make some more money from them.

My account is at sixty something now, I cashed out a $100 once. I only have 30 files though.
Silly money, the balance is better used towards iStock purchases.JazX claimed to have been earning $100/monthly off this. Could be true, his account used to have big downloads. It is closed now though.

Tis a big bunch of shite, although I do find it useful for the odd vector quickie when I can't be arsed to draw it myself. Also good for your random object shot, such as needing a bag of golf clubs RIGHT NOW.

hahah love the shot of the lady in red. the 100 dollar limit stinks that it is that high.

I've uploaded 3 images for the past 3 years and it made me $14.00+

I know a guy who has his stuff on like 5 or 6 of these sites and makes a couple hundred a month...
But you need a lot of images, images that people need and there is a lot of work involved at the start - so I don't think you can really make money off it unless its a hobby..

lunchmoney at best....
if a paying client finds out you've done istock, good luck justifying any sort of living wage for your work

i made about $70 usd from 4 photos. but that was ages ago

Maybe I can go around the city and take hundreds of photos of NYC. Wouldn't mind extra money for doing nothing.
