Posted June 28 Level 6 is impossible to achieve for 99.9% of contributors. They’ve set it up in a similar way to a pyramid scheme. 16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. Pyramid schemes involve attempts to earn more by recruiting people. It's just scaled earnings. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless you can negotiate a special deal with SS like I suspect @stockphotofan1 and @Doug Jensen did. But first you probably need a 5,000+ content portfolio. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, the system must work so there’s the small and average earners who are selling for peanuts - if they are not leaving (SS don’t mind) and the big earners who are in a position so they can make deals with SS. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have a special deal with Shutterstock, but If it makes you feel better to think the playing field isn't level, go right ahead. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 29 I'll tell you how I am taking advantage of the new insulting rate structure. I am taking my portfolio of video clips and going to any other library. And I will get much better royalty rates. Good Bye Shutterstock. Not looking back! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
