What do you, guys, think about micro stock photography sites?
At some point I gave several such sites a try, sold a small number of my works and decided that is not for me: time consumption is great, profit - at least - at the beginning - is very low and - most importantly - I did not enjoy it very much. At the same time I think I learned a lot about the criteria the commercial photography sites use for choosing works that can be potentially sold and some tools that may make your photos more useful for graphic designers and other customers buying photos from the micro stocks.

Teresa Prater No, no blog (no time). I agree withyou: if you want to make money using the micro stocks you have to ready to dedicate significant time and efforts to this business (because than your photography becomes money generator - right?). There is a bunch of books and articles on the matter. I can suggest some if you are interested.
