Just read one interesting blog established by a DT photographer. His question is very interesting:
When do you consider your Dreamstime involvement serious?
Is it when you achieve your first $100 USD download?
Or when your 500th image has been accepted?
And my comments is as follows:
I believe both ways shall be considered! Earning money from DT is not the main make-living tool for most of DT photographers, I assume. However, the most accepted online pictures cannot be treated as a symbol of success as well, from my point of view. This is my personal reason: DT's photo editors, who are the main decision makers, their final decisons make your pictures to be seen in public. They are not the jury mission of World Press Photo, meanwhile, they can also not represent most of the viewers of the world (not only in DT) of your pictures.
In my personal opinion, the pictures, which were finally approved or selected, can only be considered as good shots for most photo editors, who are the main picture buyers of DT.
After all, both of them can make me very happy: whether the more pictures online in DT, or the more money I may earn from DT. Because I do have fun here! :-)
Wow, what a discussion! Enjoy us and let us know what you think!

A little while back, I was browsing through news groups and came across an
article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within
weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00!
So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was
curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send only $1.00 to each
of the 6 email addresses stated in this article. You then place your name and address at the bottom of the list at the #6 position and post this message on online message boards/emails.
So after thinking it over, I thought about trying it.
I figured "what have I got to lose except $6.00, right?" So I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!! Within days, I started getting money coming into my PayPal account! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00, which means that 25 people joined the group after they saw my posted messages. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of over $20,000.00 and it's still coming in. It's certainly worth $6.00, and the few minutes it took to join PayPal. I have spent more than that on the lottery!
Here are the 3 easy steps to success:
REQUIREMENTS:
You must have a verified PayPal account (business or Premier – both free). If you do not have an account, take a few minutes to join PayPal FREE: http://www.paypal.com

That's the most important issue: enjoyable or not enjoyable!
Let's have fun here with DT!

I generally focus on making what I would consider to be good illustrations or photographs. When somebody purchases them, I am pleased. It validates that I know how to create commercial images. My DT involvement is serious, though small, but also enjoyable.

For me, every download is a small success, it means, someone liked my image enough to buy it. Good luck on your journey.

It really is a matter of personal preference. I am proud of the fact I have earned at least $100.00 and that I have over 500 pictures accepted. Both were milestones on the photographic journey.
