Halfway through 2018....5+ years in to stock photography
Allen.G posted a topic in Contributor Experience
And it's safe to say it's a down year so far. I started in late 2012, and have consistently uploaded about 15-20 images per week since. But check out last year's drop in revenue for May and June compared to this year's. This chart is across all my agencies, but SS is the main generator at about 80% of revenue. I'd be in a panic if this were my only income source. More work doesn't mean more revenue. At this point, to keep revenue growth, I think it's going to be more about quality of uploaded images as I can't compete in quantity with the rate that SS is growing. If anyone else has charts similar to this, would love to see how your sales and revenue have gone over a 5 year time frame. I hope this provides some small perspective as well for those just getting into the stock photography. Happy uploading folks. -
Exactly one month back, on May 17th, I've reached the milestone of 25 downloads from my portfolio. Today, I am standing over another milestone of 50 downloads, thanks to an incredible day with 14 sales! Feeling very happy to see my hard-work slowly paying off. I know I have a long way to go. But this is a very good beginning. Thank you buyers and Shutterstock for making this a reality.

Hello everybody! If it is not difficult, tell me what is my mistake? 11 downloads in two years very little. From this interest disappears ... Best regards!

My images have been downloaded 25 times after nearly two years of hard work. Out-of-which this image only downloaded 12 times. Muscat Skyline Money-wise its not too much. But I feel that I have reached a milestone. Thanks to the buyers, wherever you are, and Shutterstock.

Show your best selling image of all time

Hi everybody! I am a bit confused... Since I have started here about 4 months ago, I used to have a download at least every two or three days, sometimes even more often. But since 3rd May my account seems to be frozen in. Nothing... Not a single download. How's the rest of you doing at the moment?

This month is the BME for me. I will make more than $300 for the first time. The number of DLs is usual. What made the month for me was the single largest sale on SS as of yet [SODs outpace everything else for the first time as a result] and two video cart sales. Thank you buyers, thank you SS. Much success to my fellow contributors!

Hi, I'm new in Shutterstock. I have uploaded 111 photos, but sold only five times. I get on average one download a week. Is there something wrong with my photos, titles or keywords? I shoot a lot of nature close-ups and macros that don't have a very specific content, for example just some random leaves, branches or reeds with beautiful sunlight or moody foggy weather. Could it be that these kinds of photos aren't very commercial or that people can't find them from the mass? It annoys me that I spend so, so many hours editing and keywording my photos without getting any reward. Anna

Hi, I like to see in my portfolio which photos have been downloaded and how often that photo was downloaded. Now I can see the top performers. I can also see how many downloads there are on a certain day, but is there a way to see which photos have been downloaded no matter if it was through subscription, on demand, enhanced or single or other?

Hi, I always wonder how can customers know if an image is downloaded before or how many downloads of a prefered image? Also, I ask a question here from almost a month and there was a member asked me with the number of my photos levels (for example the dog image is in first 20,00 photo which can be showed to a customer and so on). Thank you

abdulrahman elshamy posted a topic in Contributor Experience
I've done already a 95 photo for bodybuilding. I worked on retouching, keywords and description very well and i only get 3 downloads. am i have any problem. i want to review my portfolio in the technical way ( photography and retouching ) and on the other way (uploading things) the time i uploaded this session, Keywords and description, and if you have any advice. (Notice: I have 5 downloads on editorial photos and only 3 on the session of bodybuilding) https://www.shutterstock.com/g/abdulrahman_elshamy/sets -
According to my Earning Summary page, so far I have no downloads today. It is just past 2:00 p.m. There must be something wrong because I know I have had downloads today by looking at the Latest Downloads page. Does anyone else have this problem?

It just continues to drop -- not just the income but total downloads are now less than half of what they have been. Very disappointing but SS still far outsells any of my other outlets. How was your November? Any bright projections?

Theodor Negru posted a topic in Contributor Experience
My problem is that i have 0 downloads with 66 images in one month. I mean I know i have to upload hundreds of pictures with HCV to make some money and I also know that landscapes dont sell anymore....but 0? In one month? I have a lot of landscape,travel and a few product photography. What do you think I am doing wrong? Title,keywords,picture itself? Thanks a lot! -
I'm happy with August sales and "Eid Adha" downloads,Thanks SS Really Eid Mubarak

Hi everyone, I don't know why but this month is terrible for me in the aspect of earnings. Now it's about half of the earnings I have as usual. Does Shutterstock have a trouble or is it my misfortune only? What about your july month? Thanks.

Hi fellow contributors, Many of you maybe has been affected of the new "algorithm" but for me it seems like it´s stopping downloads at a certain point lets say x downloads/day +/- 2 dls, and thats constant, if that is smart and good use of tech to turn of contributors when they come above a certain dl number I wonder how it will be soon... (that algoritm I could almost do by myself, maybe not called algorithm, just mathematics) Any thoughts, or I'm the only one missing the sales they said they should do with the new great schema...?

New Image earnings not showing on daily sales?
paula french posted a topic in Contributor Experience
Strange - I've had 3 new downloads from Switzerland - but they aren' yet showing in my daily earnings summary - not an unusual occurrence , as can take a while - however, in my IPhone App - they also aren't showing which is very unusual as normally they will show there near enough straight away - I know they'll appear eventually, but strange there is such a big lapse - I first noticed them at least 45 mins ago - and still not showing. Anyone else had new downloads that aren't yet showing - but should be ? Just curious! -
I've got over 1,800 images. https://www.shutterstock.com/g/Mike+Kuhlman
