Dear xxx,

not always, not quickly: but an honest and serious work often brings you great results. Step by step, every single day try to be a better photographer and a better person: the results will arrive!

Let me share with you some few basic but important tips about the microstock business:

- discover your "special dish" and serve it warm to your clients

- found the best practice for your work-flow and allways follow it.

- buy the best lens you can buy

- buy a full-frame camera

- buy a good monitor and calibration tool

- shoot allways in RAW

- buy a professional noise reduction software

- never stop to learn something new

- never stop to teach/share what you know

- read a lot, speak/write just when you've something important to say

- work, work, work

- be allways optimistic, the crisis is just around you, not in your heart.

Good luck to all.

Ciao
