Just think, if you work really hard, get to level 6 (25000 sales) that clip would have earned you a massive 69 cents instead! (This highlights the problem, its not just the levels that are murdering any income - its the fact SS are increasingly selling the final video product for ridiculously free throw away prices and we get a percentage of that) Even 40% of nothing is still nothing. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Considering that I've sold a total of 250 something videos during my entire 10 years on SS, it's safe to say I will never reach that in my time here, and much less in a year...LOL Link to post Share on other sites

That, or maybe I was having a rage induced heart attack? the only good thing about the new payment structure is reading all the funny comments about the personal experience of the contributors... so better having a laugh. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
lik13vvs Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Looks like the SS decided to commit suicide. So maybe it's better to help him with this ? And then all laugh ( cry) about the income, but continue to load on the SS without letting him die. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

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. One day later. The screenshot of my downloads for 15th of January shows 23 downloads. The revenue table shows 22 downloads. 5 downloads missing in the revenues in 2 days. Any explanations for this? I'll continue doing this in the following days. Did anyone of you notice a difference too? Link to post Share on other sites

Did anyone of you notice a difference too? Have you checked the two older ones whether they are not in the previous day's earnings? I just got a download 1-2 hours ago (after noon on the 16th), SOD, no country shown, and it was still placed in yesterdays earnings. It is very confusing that the two reports are recorded on different time-zones. Link to post Share on other sites
Wilm Ihlenfeld Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Hello Whiteaster, just to avoid misunderstandings: I had taken the screenshots of this window - see below - and merged them in Photoshop. And there are differences to the detailed revenue overview. I'll keep watching this for now to understand it. On 01/14, the revenue difference between the two overviews is $1.06. On 01/15, it's $0.10. Unfortunately, I can't make this comparison now for 13/01. So I will continue to document this for a few days before I write anything wrong here. Maybe this will clear up.

Nishi Sharma Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I had one video clip download, my first ever. I joined only in October. I earned $1.24. 🙂 I don't know how the earning is calculated. Can anyone enlighten me please? I am a beginner, so have only 50 clips in 4K in my portfolio. I am slowly building up my portfolio but am very restricted in my movements in the UK, like many others, due to Covid-19 restrictions. Link to post Share on other sites

I've noticed that sometimes downloads that are just around midnight NY time show on different side so that the dates on the map page don't match the date on earnings page.

Former_Poster Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Half (but not all) the problem is the SS "day" cut off is eastern time whereas the actual display is local time zone. Link to post Share on other sites
Wilm Ihlenfeld Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 It looks like the income from 5 of the images that differ in the statistics was already accounted for on 13 Jan. So obviously, it is actually the time zones that lead to discrepancies. I don't have an explanation for all the deviations yet, but maybe I can see that in the coming days.

DaLiu Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I see this month a lot of S&O and they are updated once daily, the average price is around 1,5$/image and I think they are not sold on SS but on some partner site, they don't have location on SS, any idea what partners SS is using?

Travers Lewis Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Worst month in terms of revenue so far. The number of downloads are ok but the amount of $0.10 subs is shocking. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if it is likely that many clients buy a subscription package at the beginning of the year. While ODDS and SODS still trickle in from less consistent buyers, this could explain the many 10 cent subs. Maybe things will look up after the 350/750 downloads have been used up. I live in hope. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
