Passive Income and Microstock Earnings for November
By Cory • Dec 1st, 2009 • Category: Business of IllustrationWell, it was finally a down month for me. Five months of having a "best month ever" was a pretty good run, but I guess it couldn’t last forever. With Christmas next month, I’m not holding my breath for December to break any records either.

I uploaded a little more at Can Stock and Veer. I was going to say that I hadn’t seen any results from either, but Can Stock had a last minute sale on the 30th. As for Veer, it has been just as unimpressive as Snap Village. I thought the Veer brand might bring in some new buyers to microstock, but I just haven’t seen any activity there.
As usual, feel free to post a link to your results in the comments.

November was also quite low for me at shutterstock and istockphoto, good sales, but less than october.
