I know SS pays $0.25 for video subs at level 1.

How much do other sites pay?

Thanks.

Looking at January numbers, the lowest video sale at SS was 1$.

Edit: Lowest sale at level 1 was 1.05$, but I have several sales of 1$ at level 2.

All my level 1 sub sales were at 0.25, now I am at level 2, haven't had any sales yet.

I hope to know the lowest sub sales from other sites such as GI, Adobe and P5 non-exclusive. I could be wrong, but it seems that SS has the lowest sub price. Is it correct?

And for the unlimited subscription sites, somewhere from around a fraction of a cent, to about $16.50... hut heavily weighted towards the former.

Which sites are offering unlimited subscription?

SpaceStockFootage · « **Reply #9 on:** February 23, 2023, 21:13 »

Envato Elements, Motion Array, Artgrid, Storyblocks... and a few smaller sites.

Thanks for the reply. Glad I am not with any of these.

Hehe, SpaceStockFootage said in another thread that more than half of his earnings comes from video subscription sites (Mostly Envato Elements and Storyblocks). I started uploading to Storyblocks 3 months ago and the estimated earnings for this month are 1/3 of my total earnings. My portfolio at Storyblocks is 1/6 of SS, but it looks like I will earn more at Storyblocks this month...

Orchidpoet · « **Reply #12 on:** February 24, 2023, 15:51 »

Gotcha! But I still don't regret leaving Storyblocks and don't contribute to others.

I wonder if the unlimited subscription sites will, in the long run, compromise my earnings from P5, Adobe, GI, SS and so on.

If unlimited subscription sites start to have a big impact on the sales at SS, P5, iS etc etc... then I'd be surprised if they don't start offering unlimited subscriptions themselves, and maybe at some point, solely offering unlimited subscriptions. I mean the limited subscriptions they've started offering are no doubt influenced by Elements/Storyblocks etc, at least to some extent.

You may as well get on-board!

I think Getty Istock

Orchidpoet · « **Reply #16 on:** February 26, 2023, 10:50 »

I thought non-exclusive footages were offered through Getty Images, no?

I have sold more than 10 footages through SS, but the total earning is still below $5, most sales are 0.25.

This clearly illustrates the poor state of the stock image and footage business from the perspective of content creators. I don't contribute any more footage to any agency and concentrate on building up my own.

Is this math right for the subscriptions? How do the biggest agencies do that? If this is how it goes, I see it as really unfair. For example, the client pays 1920 dollars for an annual subscription and can download 300 video clips during the year. As the monthly downloads are capped, there will be pretty sure many months that clients use the quote even close to 100%, so from that 300 videos, they may end up downloading only half. Hence, the agency gets that half 100% for themselves and pays only from those 150 downloaded clips the royalties. If that isn't good business for the agencies, then what? That's the nature of the company, and that could be easily solved as people have been on the moon for decades ago. That surely wouldn't be impossible to do fair somehow.

Much more work for sure, and definitely, it doesn't have any effect on the global market, and maybe it doesn't pay off. Still, maybe there is an itsy bitsy tiny market share for the little boutiques type of stock producers which can produce exclusive content with prices that can be pretty competitive from the client's perspective.

This could be time for the bigger speech ("I have a dream") but instead, I'm just opening my stock agency for international business and trying it out.
