Checking In

I have yet to make a single sale on 123RF, but rather than make this blog a long train of complaint posts, I think I'll make some goals.  Due to a busy school schedule, I haven't been able to take many photos in the last few months.  My schedule has lessened a bit now, so my first goal is to take more photographs!  It seems silly to whine and moan about not selling any photos when my portfolio is only 10 out of the millions of stock photos available for sale online.  To make my goal more specific, I think I'll say I'd like to make time at least once a week for either taking pictures or editing.  I know that's starting out small, but I would rather make a goal I can reach than set my sights too high and feel bad when I can't reach them right away.  My second goal will be to spend some time each week looking at what kinds of photos are popular at this time of year, and what will be popular soon.  Increasing my portfolio with relevant pictures seems like the best way to start getting results!  My third goal is to report my progress to this blog more often - it would be nice to eventually have readers here!
