sorry for the question but do you think that BigStock gives priority to older files? I have been with them for a little over 2 years and my earnings there are incredible ridiculous

Luis ... I do think age is a large consideration in search result placement ... but not to the extreme.  I've posted before that files seem to start selling after six month; or, more likely, nine months.  Perhaps not an accurate assumption coming from my very small portfolio.

I've had a 2.70$ sale and a few 90c ones over the last couple of days.

I've had 11 sales since June 1, two of which were at $.90.

So when I go to my image earnings page, the amounts listed in the Sale Amount column...that's what I get, right? How do I have sales with $--.29 in the end, when all of those numbers are $1.00, $.50 and $.90? I think I missed something.

what is the difference between credits and "pay as you go"? Is the latter single image purchases?

So, if this was, and still is, true it means a drop in commission from 50% to 30%.
I think BigStock commissions have not been 50% for a long time.

I hate to ruin a good guessing party but here's the link.  :)

How much will I earn as a Bigstock contributor? When do I get paid?

For Pay As You Go purchases we pay contributors 30% of the US dollar price. For purchases made using credits we pay $0.50 USD for each credit spent. This also applies to Extended Licenses. You can request a payout when your earnings reach $30. Here is a detailed breakdown of how much you will earn with each type of purchase (all values in USD):


Search around January 2010 for the double talk. Prices up, commissions down, but we'll make more because of better sales. Back and forth.

Royalties have picked up noticeably the last few days because of the new PAYG sales.  I am getting around the same number of sales, but higher returns.  :D

Anyone else noticing the same?

This is an old thread that explains that 50c per credit is not 50% commission.

The Lord must have blessed me this week.  I actually got 15 sales within a two hour period for $.50 each and  two others today - one at $2.70 and one at $1.50.   That much activity for me is very unusual as I have just over 300 images there.

So you sharp shooters with thousands of images should see some interesting activity soon.
