Microstock Blogs and Photography Links

100's of Photographers are publishing the results of their 'microstocking' in their personal blogs. Many are also creating specialist blog resources using their own experience to guide others (like this site!). Each has their own unique take on earning microstock and their own level of submissions from just a few images to 100's of images monthly.

I'm sure I read that somewhere else along the way and just paraphrased it, either way it sounds better than "blogger".

Keep up the good work on microstockdiaries lee, you have way of crystallising several different aspects of current microstock news into a few succinct paragraphs, after reading a new post I often find myself sitting back and thinking "yes that's exactly what's happening why didn't I spot that sooner!"

Thanks for the link

Another member, henrik, created a microstock images blog that several forum members contribute to. Anyone interested in microstock is welcome to join! smiles - Ann
