CP contributor: a first look at my sales

Remember when I told you about being a CP contributor? I got my first Cheque, covering the sale made in the month of November.

I made 4 sales:

I was pretty confident the Bouchard-Taylor picture (or this other one with Cardinal Ouellet) would be a good seller. It was an important moment of an historic commission. I’m sure this photo will still sell 10 years from now.

I was pretty confident too that my 6 Max Gros-Louis portraits would be a good seller, and this first month proved me right.

The Quebec flag could be used in every story who need an illustration of the nationalist/separatist movement in Quebec, so I think it is something I will sell again in the future.

Yes, it’s “just” 4 sales, but it’s a good start. I can make recurring sale, and this will grow over time as I add new images. This is a neat addition to my current revenue. That will help during month where the phone will ring less often.
