But the fee is 2% to most countries with a maximum between 6$ and 20$.

But if the fee for some countries is capped at 1$ then it would matter indeed. Then again, its not a big cost, and I dont think we should pay for payouts, ever. Most agencies allow a 50$ free payout.

Thanks for the patience.

I think that the time you spend here on talking about $2 fee is worth much more than the fee itself. I can't get it, if you earn $20 per month on Canva just wait those 5 months and during this time work on your portfolio. Do you really desperately need those extra $20 a month ?
By the way I easily earn much over $100 a month on Canva.

I apologise, I mistakenly figured a forum was meant to discuss matters. Silly me.

Hey Lee,

Just wondering what the progress is on those images that were approved but didn't get watermarked? I had a bunch approved, but still only got 4 online for sale due to this issue.

Cheers

Awesome, thanks Lee, looking forward to seeing them back online again.

How are sales going with you all?  Mine were fabulous in December, but January has fallen like a rock.  As if all customers were designing Christmas cards and stopped after New Year.  As Canva is new, I'm not sure what caused this :  growing number of images, change in search algorithm, or just a slow month.

All my Christmas images were uploaded at the beginning of October and are still not online, so I'm seeing a nice steady pace of sales :)

January is always lower than the go-go months of the fall - I have great Christmas sales at SS and they always settle back down in the New Year - so I wouldn't see this pattern at Canva being at all out of line

I totally agree Jo Ann, January usually is my 2nd worst month, with an average of -20% compared to December.   This year seems to be -25% (all agencies together), but Canva is -55%.  If your January sales are good, that means it's "just me" which is good news.

I have basically no Christmas images and so far January is better than December.  Less than 25% of what I have uploaded has been through review - stuck in the October limbo - so very few online but a decent return per accepted image so I am hoping the others get reviewed soon.

Just to keep you updated, all the images have been re-rendered with the watermarks and we plan to get them reactivated tomorrow.

I wouldn't waste too much time wondering about what impacts your sales trends at Canva just yet.  We're still so new and there's so many things changing that it's never a simple answer.  The search optimisation work we did in October had a huge influence on many of the top earners, some positive and others negative.  We're constantly changing our layouts and layout categories, which generate huge sales boosts for the images good enough to catch the eye of our layout designers.  We're also still adding new metrics to the collection and the search algorithm which also have their influence.  We're receiving 10k images a day from our fewer-than-500 contributors, yet removing large numbers of sub-standard images too.  And monthly royalty growth remains in double-figures every month, even December!  Trying to reverse-engineer all that is futile. :)

I have basically no Christmas images and so far January is better than December.  Less than 25% of what I have uploaded has been through review - stuck in the October limbo - so very few online but a decent return per accepted image so I am hoping the others get reviewed soon.

After the concerns expressed about reviews happening out of order, we took some time to implement a new process to review in order.  This means many of you won't have 'any' images reviewed for the next few months.  Sorry.  We're doing our best to catch up as quickly as possible.  Thanks everyone for your ongoing patience on this!  :)

I already haven't had any images reviewed for a few months, so I'm hoping this is an improvement! :)

Hi Lee,

it seems that new FTP uploads (from January) dont even get imported anymore...? At least they are not visible on the "Your Portfolio" site.

Is that a bug? Or is it a feature?  ;)

Lee, is there any chance of getting better portfolio management system, something like what Shutterstock has? I need to click to 55 pages to see what I have accepted and what is rejected or pending. There is no way to filter a portfolio. Having a page with 100 images in lines would be a great improvement. Shutterstock's Catalog Manager is very good. Also is it possible to get more image stats and show thumbnails of sold images? Thanks for considering.

A couple days ago I had one reviewed that was submitted during the middle of August so that seems to be where they are in the queue.  Unfortunately for me I only submitted a few trial images during August then stopped to see if there were sales so didn't submit anything else until November - I guess it will be a while before those get reviewed.

You can see which are accepted easily enough by clicking on the image ID for one of those that has sold, then click on your name by the smiley icon and it brings up your portfolio of accepted images.  Unfortunately I think the only way to see rejected images is to scroll through.  A better image management system or an e-mail when images have ben reviewed definitely would be helpful.

You can also go to any page in your portfolio and type in the keyword or title of the file you are looking for. (at the top of page) Saves from going through every page.

Thanks for the suggestion guys, I am looking for a simple portfolio overview/editing/filter system guys, I am not looking for a single image. I have no way of quickly seeing what is accepted, rejected, pending. Contributor admin tools is one of the things that really need improvement on Canva. IMO

It is important, but getting images reviewed is more important. I'll start nudging them on other things once my images submitted the first week of October have been reviewed :)

I think it is good their priority is selling. Reviewing is slow and the portfolio is a mess, but they do sell! My number two after SS, when it comes to microstock.

What's the latest with vectors, Lee? Mine are nearly having their 1st Canva birthday and haven't gone live yet :)

I assume that the review department is not coding the site. I agree with you, but I think the two issues can be done at the same time.
