I would hope it's a lot more than that...

Pretty good.  :)  About 8,500 videos.

I'm guessing this isn't a UK general election question.

:'( How about you guys?
I have 250k images

250.000 images? If you want to increase the sales, increase the quality not the number of files.

It is a favor for you and for others ;)

How you guys calculate this ?

the sales is guy is about 600-650$. The first line is for 250$, second 500$ and third 750$

I do not know the portfolio of this guy, but I can imagine: 1 icon 1 file

A flood of trash that does not help anyone

Extremely good from the macro agencies close to a five figure amount. Micro stock was Ok with DT really shooting upwards with Adobe so and so but as I am an oldie with SS it turned out pretty poor!

Glad to hear you are doing well on Macro agencies derek! Congrats to all making BME too!

I'm still down 30-35% but accommodating my life for this. The anger is wearing off...

It is not topic but ... my Unpaid Earnings on SS Dashboard still show May Earnings ...

SpaceStockFootage

Same here... normally calculated and adjusted by now. Ah well, as long as they still pay me before the 15th then I'm not too concerned.

Thank you for replay, agree with you :) ... well, I am not alone.

Best!

Up 8% from April and down 8% from last May.  I may finally be hitting the long tail of the bell curve.  For a couple of years I was down 20% year on year, but this year each month is only down a small % from last year.

Don't get me wrong, I still wish earnings were going up, but losing 8% annually beats he11 out of losing 20%.

Not very good...

but you were supposed to join a macro agency if I remember. Have you done that yet?  I think that in a year or two they will be the ones that prevail. They still go for quality and not just quantity and that might be the reason for the surge in sales. :)

May slightly down on last year. I used to think I was hot sh*t back in 2011 when I saw huge gains on SS. Since I put together that chart of SS collection growth vs payout growth I can see SS's policies and how well they decide to treat their contributors determines how much I can earn with them way more than any effort on my part.

In 2011 their collection size "only" increased 26% while payouts increased 45%.
In 2016 the collection grew 75% and payouts 16%!

Of course my portfolio is also much bigger now so there's no way I can keep up with the growth of the collection. When I had 1000 images growing by 75% in a year was difficult but doable, when you have 10000 forget about it (unless you want to add trash)

I would be happy if they could just keep payout increase in line with collection size increase. By my estimations that was what it like sometime around 2012-2013.

Did pretty good in video on SS, best month yet by an extra $87
