Forget fine art and learn fine business if making money from the microstock is your goal.
This is a quote from Douglas Freer's book Microstock Photography - How to Make Money from Your Digital Images.


I am just reading this book. It is well written and fun to read. I wish I had it when I was starting with microstock photography 5 months ago. I believe that I've got most information from searching all possible resources on the Web, but it is still worth to browse the book.

Here is a list of contents:

  1. Understanding the microstock revolution
  2. How to make dollars from cents
  3. What sells and what does not
  4. How to make sure your pictures win
  5. Thechnical issues: Killing the Gremlins before they kill your pictures
  6. Equipment
  7. Setting up a home studio
  8. Twenty tips and tricks to winning on microstock
  9. Mixing it with rights-managed stock
  10. Case studies
  11. Copyright, trademarks, and model releases
  12. The future of microstock photography
