February month was great on Shutterstock for me! I am up 41% there this month, I guess all the hard work and uploading is paying off. Overall I created about 150 new images this month. I have uploaded all those to my ShutterStock gallery and I will upload them to all my galleries as well.I still need to find a better system for uploading to all my sites, I lose track of what images I have uploaded where. Overall I am UP 19.22% total across all sites so that is a great increase.
