MicrostockGroup

I don't know what they are making now, but a couple of years ago I was approached about reviewing for a well known site and at that time they were paying .35 per image reviewed. 

Seems like a pretty tough way to get a paycheck IMHO.  I decided to stick with shooting and uploading, thanks all the same

Certainly if you were paid that for reviewing on StockXpert you'd be making a decent living.

Both reviewers happen to be friends of mine, and neither one is reviewing anymore.  Why?  It's simple.  Burnout. 

Does anybody know how much a reviewer gets paid to sort through the mess?

So if your information is more current, care to share it?  What are they making?

If they are paying by the image, the most current earnings are between 3 and 7 cents per image.  I don't know about the sites that pay by the hour, but a couple of years ago SS was paying $8 an hour.  It's definitely not a lot of money.   

On the flip side, $1472 per month just begins to cover my expenses. You'd be living below the poverty line if you made only that much here (Vancouver, Canada).

and €12 in norway

About $13.50 in Australia.

Edit:

Make that $14.31 as of October 1st

Wow, it's kind of different between each countries. I never thought it was like this. Here in Canada (Quebec) it's 8.50$. It's like 6.50 euros, but I may be wrong with the conversion

In the US, $8 an hour is barely above minimum wage.  A kid in high school flipping burgers makes the same amount of money.  Reviewers also must be fluent in English, and provide their own computer equipment, unlike a burger flipper.

One of the reviewers I know in the US barely made $5-6 an hour reviewing on a per image basis.  The most she made was $800 in a month reviewing about 10 hours per day.  No wonder she burned out. 

Random order of pictures would be most beneficial for photographers but most boring for reviewers. Now that can entertain themselves by sending whole batches to void.

Like everyone else, I've had a few 'easy button' reviewers, but for the most part, the reviewers have been pretty decent. In fact, recently I had one reviewer write a short note, somewhat apologetic, telling me that there was nothing wrong with my image other than they already had way too many.

There's been many, many reviews that have been super-helpful - I've probably learned more as a beginning stock photog from detailed reviews than you can imagine.

I realize that the time element for commenting on reviews is limited - who the heck wants to spend even 2 minutes commenting, when you're only earning a few cents per image??? But there are still those who care enough to comment and are willing to spend the time, and I always hope I show up in their queue.

And then there was the wonderful reviewer (and I mean that in true sincerity) who started out her review with "Oy vey!!!!" and then politely told me that I needed to squelch the noise . . .   (she was right - it was horrible - and since she reads this thread, I want her to know that I still laugh over that one!)
