Saurav022 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 My sales are a nightmare this month, only 0.10$ subs. It is my WME ever since I started contributing here. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Studio 2 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Judging by the number of downloads this month I am hoping to reach Level 2 by the time I am 103. 7 Link to post Share on other sites
Wilm Ihlenfeld Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 January 2020 was already bad. January 2021 is almost half over - and my earnings are 13.5% compared to January 2020. Underground! Link to post Share on other sites

It is addictive to see if something has been sold. Still you have to upload Debbie if you want to sell more or do nothing and stop looking at it anymore. There are of course people with a small port, who still sell well I am sometimes jealous of that. But ... my own fault. Then I should have started earlier on Shutter and took better pictures. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DaLiu Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Reached level 4, RPD currently is 0,55 (videos + images), number of downloads it is in the normal limits for me. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Judging by initial 2021 Sales the whole new set up is close to a debacle from a contributor's point of view. It's hard to understand why anyone would continue to upload images when there are only going to be ten cents sales. The only encouragement to upload again is if there is hope of Single or OD sales. If I see that happen I may respond but if it is just going to be subscription sales it's utterly pointless. Continuing to upload is not worth the effort and just encourages all agencies in their downward spiral. I wish I could be more positive but it has become ridiculous. It's a shame really! What puzzles me is why you would bother introduce levels at all if they make little difference to what you pay out given that ten cents is now the order of the day? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
kuvona Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 january has always been a much slower month for me, but THIS January is much worse than ever... not only the sales are down, but the majority of them are 10 cent downloads!... and today only 3 dls so far ... all 10 cents of course....at this point, i have no idea where to invest my earnings!

Charles Lewis Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I had an okay start to January but it seems to have all gone quiet. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Whiteaster Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I was not expecting huge earnings this month but I was hoping in better dl number. It was all good till yesterday when suddenly downloads died, 3 downloads yesterday and 3 today. I wonder how many will I get on weekend? Link to post Share on other sites
balajisrinivasan Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Yeah... downloads have been realllly slow so far. I thought things would pick up post 10th but they haven't. This combined with level one is a real blow. So far it has been way worse than Jan last year when my port was just 3 months old. Hope things pick up 😕 1 Link to post Share on other sites
blvdone Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 On a pace to 1/6 the sales $$ amount of January 2020. Horrible. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't uploaded anything since march last year, but sadly a lot of contributors still continue to upload. They do not realise they are digging a huge grave for themselves and everybody else. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Wilm Ihlenfeld Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I took screenshots of my downloads yesterday. There were 22. In my revenue table I see 18 downloads. I will take screenshots again today to check if the difference has to do with the US/European time difference. I don't have any other explanation. Link to post Share on other sites

They do everything and will do everything to attract customers. Therefore, many buyers have already left the SS. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Are we meant to earn money as well? I didn't realise that. Thought we just did this for the joy of people using our images. That explains what those 1s and 0s are then on my dashboard. I thought they were binary code. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Just kidding man, no hard feelings SS is ridicious about payment...On other stock site I had 3 downloads (I started in December 2020 with that site) and for that 3 downloads I earn 4$. On SS in January I had 5 downloads and 0.50$ earned... Link to post Share on other sites
PomInPerth Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 SS isn't too bad for me and my small port, 24DLs and $8 AS though is dead, 1 DL in the past 5 weeks, and a whopping 33c Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I can use it for down payment of one bale of hay ($9), that lasts for one day when the weather is not cold? Link to post Share on other sites
