Hey guys,
So I'm pumped, I've reached the threshold of $500 US lifetime earnings on Shutterstock. They sent me an email confirming that I get a raise... subscription images now $0.33 per DL instead of $0.25. Woot! EXCEPT, my very next sale came in at 25 cents. Has anyone experienced this? Is there a delay? Will they fix it? Do I really need to start the long process of contacting them??? (groan). (Still pretty pumped about reaching this milestone! In under a year of uploading... I know its peanuts but hey, I'm happy)
Thanks,
Rachel

I did that thanks... I was hoping to get a quick answer because I didn't find it. If you know, it would be aquick one sentence? I'd appreciate it.

Congratulations, I haven't made it there yet, hopefully not too far off! Do you mind me asking how many images you have managed to upload in that time?
-
Hi Zalee... I've uploaded 1580 so far. How about you?
-
Well done to have that many done! I only have 460 on SS and up to 600 on some (the ones that accept everything ;) ) I need to work harder :o ;D
-
Zalee, if you are near $500 with that size portfolio, maybe you're doing better than me! I started by uploading to about 10 sites but now I only do 4... SS, IS, Adobe and Bigstock. Dreamstime was ok but I decided these 4 were the best use of my time.
