Dear Shutterstock Contributor,

Starting today, your Shutterstock account has been included in a small Contributor pilot group that will power the launch of our new "Unlimited Download Subscription" - an offering designed to capture an emerging market of individual users. As part of this pilot group, you will be the first to benefit from this additional licensing opportunity, while your content will continue to be available across the Shutterstock library for all customers to license.

What is Unlimited Licensing and how does it benefit you?

    What is Unlimited?: Shutterstock Unlimited is a subscription service for individual customers, offering them the chance to license digital assets for a fixed monthly fee. Only select contributors are invited, which ensures a high-quality selection of content for customers while giving you more visibility in the marketplace.

    Subscriber Share model: With Shutterstock Unlimited, you�ll earn based on a "Subscriber Share" revenue model. 50% of net subscription revenue is shared among contributors, with your share determined by the value your content brings to each subscriber. The more essential your assets are to them, the more you earn. See here for more information.

    Tracking Earnings: Unlimited earnings is a monthly subscription plan and your payments can be found under "Subscriptions" on our Earning Summary.

    Opt-in/Opt-out: Your account has been automatically opted in and customers will begin purchasing subscriptions in a few weeks. We have added an option in the contributor account settings so you can easily manage your Unlimited subscription options, allowing you full control over your participation.


Our ultimate goal with the Unlimited Download Subscription is to build a sustainable, thriving marketplace where you can continue to succeed over the long term. We�re excited to have you as part of this journey! For more information, please check out this support center FAQ.

Opted out within seconds.

Just reading through the t&cs assets will still be available for download in all other subscription types.  You can opt out at anytime.

Any thoughts - I think I will give it a go

Thanks

I opted out to protect my niche content. If I could opt out only for my niche content I would give it a go for the rest of my portfolio. However, It�s either all in or all out. So for now, I�m all out.

If you give it a go please let us know how you did after one month. It would be interesting to hear your experience. Thank you
