Just signed up with BS, does it worth the time and effort? What's your thoughts? I know they are at the bottom of the middle tier but some people say that sales are improving. What's your experience?
Thanks in advance.

Short answer: No.

Thanks a lot guys. Really appreciate your advice. I'm not gonna bother submitting to them if that's the case.
Thanks again.

I am on 10 stock sites.
If I could do it all over again I would skip CanStock and BigStock, not worth the time and effort.

Was a very Good site Before SS bought them. Tim and Dawn were very cool People. SS killed it. Probably a tax shelter. and Canstock?? really?

it depends in which country you live. A am living in a low income country, it is worth for me. I don�t want to miss it.

Right.  This has been the case nearly every time we have a discussion about low-sale sites.  For me, BigStock has gone down to Canstock levels. I made regularly about $80-100 a month there, and now it's $20 a month.  It makes sense though. With SS buying them I think BigStock is really more of a test site and not really used to generate primary revenue.  That is SS.  I doubt there is much advertising for BigStock and their slow decline in sales will end up like Panthermedia and all of those other sites that generate nothing.  I'm letting my images ride because I am on the bridge to nowhere with SS.  But outside of that, I would not be adding content.  I am opted out on the video side, too. 

So if you are in a high-cost of living country, expect to not make much at BigStock. They are in the low tier for me, not middle like to poll says.  Other mileage may vary, of course.  For low income countries, you can earn a few dollars there but I would consider that BigStock might ultimately close their doors sooner than later (just speculating here).

I have a feeling that BigStock being the poor cousin of SS just cannibalizes my SS earnings. I uploaded a test set pics, wasn't impressed with the results, and couldn't be bothered since. CanStock on the other hand isn't a large moneymaker but it's OK and its RPD is better than on SS. Additionally I like the people working there, they have always been very helpful.

Then you're not selling much at SS.

Not worth. Been with them for more than ten years. My portfolio is around 5200 images and I make $2-5 a month with them.
A few years ago with a smaller portfolio I was around $20-30 a month.

In my experience, BS is better for editorial photos than commercial ones.

Definitely not my highest earner. However, when I look at the stats, it's not that bad. It's my 4th highest revenue generator (after SS, IS and Alamy), even though the three highest earners have way higher numbers. If I look at the RPI, it's the 5th one (Adobe does better, but my portfolio is smaller there, as I mainly upload Editorial content). Furthermore, it is probably the platform that has the most stable RPI, which is a pretty good sign for future developments.

So, as a low earner, I definitely advice to give it a try, without spending too much time, and without expecting huge return.

Same here
And yes, kind of better for editorials.

It is a low earner for me but I do make weekly and daily sales their. Most of the sales are under 50 cents each but they all add up at the end of the year.

Hello all! Please help - how to delete images from bigstock? tried, spent time - cannot delete, and for editing they ask for reasons. I want to spend time once for deleting

No way to self delete at Bigstock.  Support has to do it for you.
