Is here anyone that has the same portfolio on Shutterstock and Deposit photos?

How do you compare sales? And how much do you get per sale at Deposit?

I upload to Shutterstock and I am thinking to start uploading to Depositphotos.

Thanks!

About 10% of what I get on SS

Plus DepositPhotos is a shady agency with questionable ethics.

Nope not anymore, that was ages back. Nothing wrong with them now. They sell well at times but not comparing to SS.

What makes you so sure? I don't trust them at all and I don't upload there anymore!
But for example On demand XL sale paying Silver contributor just $0,32!? What the f**k is this?

I don't think I've had a sale yet at DP in over two years. At SS I get about $200 a month.

Goes to show different agencies can work so differently for different people......sometimes you just have to stick a toe in the water.

Wait sorry... just seen the thread is regarding photos. I was on about video. And to be fair, they are called deposit 'photo's!

About the same portfolio and DP does about 5% of what my SS sells per month.

Josephine · « **Reply #14 on:** June 20, 2018, 14:04 »

I am doing illustrations only. DP is a shooting star for me since half a year. It´s up to 70 percent of SS.

Rage · « **Reply #15 on:** January 11, 2019, 23:52 »

Heard a lot of issues with DP in the past, dollar clubs, crazy low prices and royalties. Ha s it is become a better place to be now?

Its still owned by shutterstock right?

I keep uploading just because it's very easy there. Sales are basically flat for last years, DP makes 2,5% of what I get from SS.

Is DP DepositPhotos the same as DPC Dollar Photo Club? Really confused.

DP is Depositphotos a different company

Thanks, yes that's what I thought, was trying to understand how Dollar Photo Club came into this discussion

Thou they might have been related.

to compare to SS, there's a chance DP will not give your earnings,
Here my experience

I get sells daily on DP....But Shutterstock for me sells 15 times the amount that DP sells for me.

tupungato · « **Reply #24 on:** January 22, 2019, 04:33 »

5-6% of SS revenue.
