Just to show, SS don�t care about how big you are! If you violate Terms of service...you�re in trouble.

I feel bad for Pat and BB (not getting into weather BB is the place to go to or not)
The guy tries his best to run a clean operation.

I�m also glad to see that SS takes things very professionally. 900K clips, gone, I think it�s temporary.

Hi,
8 days into May and it�s a whole new world of nothing for me. It�s not too early to call because my clear bar is a minimum 100$ in sales every day on SS Alone, including weekends and holidays. I�m aware of the new sub model and understand the impact on my earnings. But what I don�t understand is the massive Drop in number of sales, it�s like everything stopped.
During Covid19 March and April sales kept coming and I assumed that with the new sub plan my earnings will take a hit but not my downloads and definitely not that bad.

I�m on Stockperformer and I can tell that the entire market is taking a hit because even with my super low numbers my ranking is still in the top 25%, I learned to trust Stockperformer because even in my Best months I was still ranked at 82% meaning bigger earners were with me.

So what�s going on? Is it because of Covid-19 slowdown? People are just not buying? Lack of budget?
Algorithm changes wouldn�t pull everyone on Stockperformer down (the way I see it).

I would love to hear your thoughts about it, am I missing something?

For the past five years, we�ve been hard at work trying to marry the needs of our members and contributors with the Marketplace. Our vision was simple: contributors get 100% of what they earn, and our members get great content at a fair price.

But for our members, this was anything but simple. Understanding what did and didn�t come with their subscription was complicated. It restricted their ability to play freely within projects, and we received overwhelming feedback that the Marketplace wasn�t for them. At the same time, we tried balancing the needs of contributors with price increases and Marketplace visibility improvements.

We knew we could do better.

That�s why Storyblocks is proud to announce the launch of the Member Library Partner Program! It�s easy to understand. It�s unrestrictive. And it�s all in support of the Storyblocks mission: Helping a new generation of independent creatives to create more moving stories. It�s a great way for contributors to reach a new market of storytellers full of YouTube creators, freelance editors, and hobbyists. And it�s an opportunity for our members to tell their stories without a big Hollywood production budget.

What is the Member Library Partner Program? Instead of paying for clips a la carte in the Marketplace, our members pay for a subscription to access content in our Member Library. We then create a Member Library Earnings pool, which we divide among all contributors who participate in the program based on how much of their content is downloaded.

You can learn more about how the Member Library Earnings pool is calculated here.

Over the past eight months, we�ve been piloting the Partner Program and have proven that it can work for everyone: contributors, members and Storyblocks! Contributors on average are making 3x the amount that they ever earned through the Marketplace, and over 90% have chosen to stay in the Pilot Program.

The best part? Anyone can apply to join, there�s no commitment period, and your content remains non-exclusive so you can keep earning everywhere else you distribute content. If you try the Partner Program and aren�t happy with your earnings, you can leave anytime. It�s your content, and you should be able to earn any way you can.

Starting today, our focus will be the Partner Program and we want you to share in its success! To learn more and apply, check out the details on our site.

Any thoughts?

Got one orange bar, reported in my August sales. Used to get them only via pp or 360 or I don't know how.

Isn't it only for exclusive?

I NEVER ever spam my titles.
Could it be due to the fact that I changed a few of my editorial captions to "Circa, Circa...." For files I did not know the correct location of? (Knew the country but not the city).

If this is a bad thing or spamming, I ask the forgiveness of my fellow contributors.

Please help me out with this, I hate spammers! Don't like being considered as one.

Been getting notifications for files that were accepted and rejected a year+ ago.
Anyone else seeing this?

3years ago and today...same earnings.


Why?

So, I went to the post office today, and while waiting I noticed a stack of pamphlets with my stock photo...I asked the guy that works there and he said its in every branch. I never had an EL for this photo...is this an EL kind of thing or a normal sub covers it?


Why?
