Overall it was Best Month Ever if you consider total earning form all agencies. My best earner SS was couple dollars short to grab 3rd result ever which is suprising after very bad December results. Biggest surprise was 123RF with over 400% over previous month. This is definetively BME for them. Third place goes to CUT. It was my first sale there and first EL at the same time. Hopefully I will start selling there. Rest of top 5 preformed below usual levels. Let’s see what happen in February.

I was waiting for my first Comprehensive Extended License for more than 1.5 year but today I got another within a week. Maybe it’s just coincidence but it will make this month BME.

It’s probably most expensive license on 123RF. Image can be used in magazines or as book cover.

Maybe should resume uploading to Alamy because apparently Forbes is buying images from them. In article America’s Top 25 Towns To Live Well I found my picture from Cupertino Memorial Park.

My 2009 totals just confirms what I saw every month. Almost 50% of my sales comes from SS. Next 3 are around 5x less which might bring some payouts every couple months. Next 3 are more wishful thinking for me that really contributors. Everything else is just plain waste of time. From this group I am only uploading to Veer cause they are relatively new and I want to give them a chance. Hopefully next year at this time I could select best 5-6 performers and forget about others.
SS 48.62%
