Merrillie Redden Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Curious is anyone that successful on here that they can sell over 25,000 images in a year? It has taken me since 2017 to reach 1571 sales in total. I retired last week and will have time to branch out with other photography. Oviously we will need content that goes viral or was that covid lol. Level 6 Over 25,000 40%https://submit.shutterstock.com/payouts Link to post Share on other sites
Philip Armitage Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 haha, not me - when I saw the announcement this morning it left a nasty taste although I knew it was coming. To me it will not make a whole lot of difference but those on L4, 5 etc it must be a kick in the guts. It really is a slimy move by SS and totally unjustified no matter how much they try to sugar coat it by pretending fairness for all. Shame on you SS 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Having 50K, 100K and way over of images. Having 50K and over up to 100K and more of clips. They will. In a very short time. That is pure reality. Link to post Share on other sites

Shame on you SS Even on lvl 4,5 you have most sells for 0,1$, exceptions of higher sells are so rarely, that higher percentage si not significat, as cutting all other mass sells to 0,1$. Before change Shutterstock was no. 1 of income, now iStock/Getty and Adobe are much better to income, even total amount of sells are lower. I am selling rather there and here I will send new content only as crap that worth for 0,1$ to create. Link to post Share on other sites
