This is perfect for me to review & update past ideas. Great project for now when the economy has collapsed. No, this is not a prime source for income but it ADDS to your already established income. Great advice especially if you've been in the business for awhile. Thank you!

    Upload you Ai, Eps, SVG file with a preview image that should be 5000x3000. Preview image can be fancy compared to actual file. Like if you are uploading business card, for preview image you can upload the mockup of your business card. If you’re uploading iconset, the actual icons in illustrator might be differently arranged but you can create a fancy presentation to sell your assets.

    Most stock sites have different licenses. So you can give up all rights to your work (although I think this is very rare) most of the case you're always the copyright holder so you can use your own work. There might be limitations such as posting it on other stock sites. But all this info is found as you first upload a work to a stock site. If you sell your work to a client then you'l always keep the rights for it and often you sell a limited use such as 2 years free use and renegotiation after that. That's standard today.
