Microstock earnings comparison February 2010
February gave back my standard value of microstock incomes, filling the gap observed the month before.
Here my classic six months earning comparison chart:

- standard performance for Fotolia, Dreamstime and Shutterstock
- last direct incomes from StockXpert (next month I will put it in the “Others”, what a pity!)
- the good Depositphotos affiliation incomes (more than 50$) are not included; also some sells registered there
- some “movements” at Veer and Panthermedia, you can see that the “Others” component is increasing
- monthly overall RPI (total earnings / average portfolio size) is again about 0.6, with an average portfolio of 200+ photos over 10+ agencies
