Wow, Frederick, just wonderful. Many thanks to Eliza and Dave. Not to diminish the consistent greatness of your other podcasts, but this first Plus is easily, for me, the most timely and inspiring episode yet. I am very curious about getting into microstock, and I think now I have a good handle on what it’s all about. Perfect questions, and amazingly useful answers. Thanks!
Very interesting conversation. I personally have been doing stock for about 4 years (as a hobby, not fulltime at all) and found it interesting. I talk a bit more about it on my blog, but basically, I agree with a lot of the points made. I will say that microstock is harder then I expected at first, if you want to make a living at it… but if you have the time/patience it is worthwhile.
