Because I only use stock photography as a hobby, it would only provide about 20% of my total income. I'm sure that I could steadily increase this over time, but that would only be if I could quit my job. If only...

I make almost my entire income on microstocks. Everyone once in a while I get a hire job (and many of those let me re-use the shoots for stock)

It's hard to guage annually as we've only been going a year and the difference between the early months and the latter months is significant. We run our microstock through our website design / graphic design business, and it's currently running at around 20% of our total revenue. It's good income because it's near-passive once the images are up on the sites, but for us non-professional photographers I suspect we find the going harder than professionals would. We work on it only during slow periods.

Well your avatar is nice, so you can't be all that bad

Thanks, but it's not mine! I bought it on iStockphoto.com !!
