Passive Income and Microstock Earnings for June

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.
