Here is a process that can help you make the most money for your pictures
using micro stock:

•Focus on the pictures that are worth more to buyers
•Set aside a couple hours a day to start building up a stock photo portfolio
•Aim for getting 100 pictures or more every month approved by a site.
•After six months you will have 600 pictures.
•Review what pictures are selling the best.
•Keep taking pictures and submitting to micro stock sites.
•Set goals of making $500 a month, $1,000 a month, $2,000, $5,000 and
beyond.

You have to keep your eyes roaming about constantly to make sure you are not just capturing what every one else is looking at but also their reactions to what they are seeing as well. Reaction shots sell the most in any event photography situation.

So don't just shoot the bride coming down the aisle; shoot the grooms reaction to seeing her in her dress for the first time as well. Don't just take a picture of little Billy hitting a home-run; capture his parents screaming in the stands as well.
