Simple yes or no. Don't bash anyone or give any explanations just answer the poll.

Um, that would be a NO. Remember I kept it simple, yes or no. ;)

There is no "considering it".

I'm on the fence at the moment. I was against it strongly. Then last month I heard an interview with Rich Legg who makes his living off of microstock. He makes enough to pay for the studio, pay the models, rent locations if needed, pay hair/makeup, transportation costs, equipment rentals, and everything else he may need, with enough left over to pay for the house, car, and live off of. All of his projects are self assignments. There is no customer to foot the bill. And has sold over 75,000 images.

I doubt I will ever do it like that, but some side money from it may be nice.

Mine falls in the middle. I used to, but for the last 2 years I've been free of micro.

Not necessarily true. That assumes every image sold would also have sole at a normal price. So while he may have made 10X as much for each image. He would have sold 10% of them. And then only sold each of them once. With microstock resale is common.
