5 Months and a Scoop of Muesli to Reach First Payment from StockXpert

In my previous post I presented the scoop project in my microstock photography.
It happens that one of these pictures, a scoop of my favorite cereal, pepita-papaya muesli, just helped me to reach the first $50 payment from StockXpert.

I had a late start with StockXpert and started to sell pictures in that microstock site in May. This is what I wrote in my April 2008 earnings report:

A few days ago I got accepted by StockXpert after 4 failed applications “At the moment we are not looking for pictures as the ones you uploaded”. I got tired with typing my bio and info over and over again. So, I just wrote “please visit my website to see my photography and microstock earnings.” Maybe, that worked, because I didn’t really change my pictures.

In September, StockXpert provided 6.7% of my earnings with 417 picture portfolio. Earnings in October are staying at the same level.

Scoop of Nuts, Grains, Beans, Seeds, Berries, …

“Scoop” is one of my recent and outgoing stock photography projects. I am shooting different grains, beans, berries and other stuff on a small, wooden, vintage looking scoop, isolated on a white background. I got a quite big collection and I am not done yet. The pictures below are linked to my FeaturePics portfolio. The only problem with this project is that I have to consume all this stuff. No problem with snacks or cereal. I am cooking quite regularly a buckwheat kasha, but I need to find some recipes for beans and lentils. I guess birds in my backyard will help me with millet and wheat in winter time.

wooden scoop	roasted buckwheat	hard red winter wheat	fish oil capsules	brown flax seeds
maple sugar chunks	Tibetan goji berries	black turtle beans	mung beans	red kidney beans
fuchsia flower	Anasazi beans	hazelnuts	sunflower seeds	muesli cereal
pennies	black eyed peas	dog food	Christmas shoping	popcorn and corn
pumpkin seeds	Hawaiian alaea salt	French green lentils	red lentils	green lentils
Brazil nuts	candies	dried cranberries	garlic cloves	chickpea
hulled millet	sweet brown rice	trail mix	raisins
