Currently, I’m not selling extended licences, but I’ve been toying with the idea of opening them up for my images. My goal is to get to $2000 a month by the end of the year and selling the extra licences should make a big difference. Check back next month for my July numbers.

I started seeing the summer slowdown
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully, it picks up soon.
Man, I love your job and your blog. And I’m pretty happy for you and your numbers.
Keep up the good work you will certainly reach the 2000/month!
Thanks for the vote of confidence.
